Wedding Favours & Gifts in British Columbia

Wedding favours are a thoughtful way to thank your guests for celebrating with you. British Columbia is home to a thriving community of artisans, makers, and small businesses that create beautiful, personalized wedding favours and gifts. From locally sourced honey and Okanagan wine to custom candles, artisanal chocolates from Vancouver and Victoria chocolatiers, and seed packets for guests to plant, BC vendors offer an incredible variety of options.

In BC, wedding favours typically cost $2 to $10 per guest. Simple favours like personalized stickers or small candy bags start at $2 per guest, while premium favours like custom candles, engraved glassware, or artisanal food gifts can range from $5 to $15 per guest. Many couples also create welcome bags for out-of-town guests, filled with local BC treats, maps, and personalized notes, typically costing $15 to $40 per bag.

BC's local food and craft scene makes it easy to find meaningful favours. Popular options include BC honey, artisanal chocolates from Vancouver and Victoria chocolatiers, wine or ice wine from Okanagan wineries, craft beer and spirits from local BC breweries and distilleries, handmade soaps and candles, custom cookies, and BC jade keepsakes. For eco-conscious couples (a BC sensibility), seed bombs, potted succulents, and reusable items are increasingly popular.

When choosing favours, consider your guest count and budget, whether the favour is practical or edible (edible favours are generally the most appreciated), how they will be displayed at the reception, and whether you need them personalized. Order favours 2 to 3 months before the wedding to allow time for production and personalization. Many BC vendors offer custom packaging and labels to match your wedding colours and theme.
