You’ve found “the one.” The dress (or suit) is sorted. The venue is booked. Now it’s time to think about the small touches - the ones that show your guests just how much their presence means to you. Enter the humble wedding favour: a little gift with a lot of heart.
Traditionally known as a “party favour,” this small token has been gifted to guests for centuries - once sugar almonds, bonbonnières, or small keepsakes. Today, couples are increasingly choosing inedible, thoughtful keepsakes that double as a memory - and our handmade, personalised candle wedding favours are the kind of thoughtful gift that truly shines.
Why Candle Wedding Favours Work So Well
-
A heartfelt thank-you with purpose and charm. Wedding favours are a lovely way to show your gratitude, but unlike edible treats that may be forgotten or eaten and gone, a candle becomes a keepsake - a moment of warmth and reflection in your guests’ homes.
-
Personalised and memorable. Customisation (like names, initials, or date) transforms each candle from a generic token into a meaningful keepsake. Guests will remember the day - and you - every time they light it.
-
Practical and usable - not just decoration. Candles add atmosphere, scent memory, and warmth to a home. They don’t end up forgotten in a drawer; they get used. Which means your wedding favour isn’t just lovely - it’s useful.
-
Matches any wedding theme or style. Rustic, elegant, minimalist, glam - candle favours slot in beautifully with any wedding aesthetic. They’re versatile, tasteful, and timeless.
-
Eco-conscious and small-business love. For couples who care about sustainability and supporting artisans, a handcrafted soy-wax candle from a small maker checks all the boxes.
Why JoJo Co.’s Wedding Favour Candles Stand Out
At JoJo Co., we pour more than wax into our candles - we pour heart, care, and a love of the handmade. Here’s what makes our wedding favour candles extra special:
-
Hand-poured with 100% soy wax - clean-burning, sustainable, and longer-lasting than many mass-produced alternatives.
-
Lead-free cotton wicks - safer burning and better scent release.
-
Fully recyclable packaging - so the gift feels good inside and out.
-
Personalisation options - names, dates, or a short thank-you message to make each favour unique.
-
Perfect burn time for home use - enough to fill rooms with fragrance but compact enough to serve as a keepsake.
Whether your wedding is intimate or a big celebration, classic or modern, rustic barn or elegant hall - these candle favours adapt beautifully.
Who Will Love Candle Wedding Favours
Candle favours aren’t just “nice to have.” They’re a top pick for couples who want their wedding to feel personal, thoughtful, and stylish.
They’re perfect if you’re:
-
Wishing to give guests a memorable keepsake rather than a disposable treat.
-
Hosting an evening reception where a soft, warm glow adds ambiance.
-
Planning a wedding with a theme - rustic, boho, classic, minimalist, chic - where a candle fits right in.
-
Supporting small makers and looking for sustainable, handmade gifting options.
-
Wanting to treat each guest as an individual - custom names or details turn a candle into a special token.

FAQs: What Couples Ask About Candle Wedding Favours
Are candle favours too cliché?
Not when they’re handcrafted, personalised, and chosen with care. Candle favours are timeless because they combine usefulness with sentiment. Guests will actually use them - and remember your day fondly every time they do.
What if some guests don’t like candles?
Part of the joy of candle favours is flexibility. They can sit prettily on a shelf, be used to add warmth to a home, or even be reused with new wax once the original burns through. They don’t have to be burned immediately to be valued.
Can we match candles to our wedding theme?
Absolutely. From scent to label design, you can tailor the candles to suit your wedding palette - rustic, elegant, modern, boho, or classic.
Is it expensive to give candle favours to many guests?
Not at all! We offer a a hugely reduced price for orders over 30 candles.
