1. Mug Wedding Favors

Mug wedding favors are the perfect mix of cute, practical, and totally fitting for a chilly wedding day.

The best part? You can make them a big part of your wedding décor too! Picture this: personalized mugs that double as place cards—add a tag with their name and table number, and you’ve got a show-stopping escort display.

Plus, have a hot drink bar where your guests can use their new mugs throughout the night. For a budget-friendly option, thrift some cool vintage mugs and pop a paper place card inside—bonus, it saves you on glass hire!

You could even hang them on the backs of chairs or have a cute basket display with a sign like, “To have and to hold in case you get cold.”

Super useful and your guests will definitely take these home.

Not only do they make adorable favors, but they’ll also remind guests of your special day every time they light them.

5. Coffee or Tea Favors

Who doesn’t love a hot drink when it’s freezing outside?

Give your guests the gift of warmth with some gourmet coffee or a cozy tea blend.

Add a personalized label or cute wintery packaging, and you’ve got a favor that everyone will appreciate.

Bonus points if you set up a “Make Your Own” coffee or tea station for them to enjoy at the reception.

But you can also make this favor more budget-friendly by creating DIY kits that look just as charming. Or Etsy has loads of premade options.

Add a mini tag with a winter message like, “Warm Wishes” or “Love Toasted.”

9. Pine Tree Saplings

This one’s for the eco-conscious couples out there.

Pine tree saplings are a beautiful way to give back to nature and give your guests something meaningful to plant and watch grow.

Each time they see their little tree, they’ll remember your special day. Plus, pine trees are evergreen—just like your love, right?

10. Winter Gloves

Gloves are a practical and thoughtful favor, especially for a winter wedding!

You can even personalize them with a small embroidery of your initials or wedding date.

Your guests will think of your wedding every time they pull them on during the colder months.

11. Sugared Cranberries

Sugared cranberries are a sweet (and stunning) edible favor.

Not only do they taste delicious, but they also look beautiful in clear jars with a pretty ribbon tied around the top.

You can offer them as a snack during the wedding or send them home with your guests as a little sweet treat.

12. Pine Cone Fire Starters

How cute are these? Mainly for your guests with fireplaces, pine cone fire starters are such a clever and rustic favor. But they can be used in the summer or camping for an outdoor fire also.

Dip the pine cones in wax and add a bit of scent (like cinnamon or fir) for a wintery touch. Package them in small bags with a note like, “You warm our hearts.”

Or by some handmade ones from Etsy or a local seller.

13. Personalized Mini Baileys

If there’s one drink that makes me think of winter, it’s Baileys.

You can give mini Baileys bottles to your guests as a little “cheers” for later. For a personal touch, add a set of custom matches.

And hey, if Baileys isn’t your thing, swap it out for your favorite winter tipple—think spiked hot chocolate kits, mini bourbon bottles, or even local craft brews.
