Ideas for Italian Wedding Favors

Italian wedding favors are a great idea, whether you’re having your wedding in Italy or bringing Italy to your guests with a warm, sunny wedding theme. Luckily, Italians like things to be simple and high-quality. These favor ideas will help you design tiny favors that your guests will love without spending a fortune or several days making them.

Biscotti biscuits

This twice-baked biscuit is one of the best Italian wedding favors. It’s quite wonderful dipped in a cup of steaming, fresh coffee. If you like to bake, you can make your own biscotti for a small wedding. Recipes are easy to find online, and you can find all kinds of flavors. Wrap two or three pieces of biscotti in cellophane paper and tie them up with a ribbon for a pretty, unique wedding favor.

Pasta

There’s really nothing like genuine Italian pasta. You can buy high-quality pasta from a grocery store and use it for Italian wedding favors. Compact pastas like bow-ties can be wrapped in tulle. You can wrap longer pastas like spaghetti in cellophane wrap, tie a ribbon tightly around the centre, and set them upright on your tables for a decorative favor.

Espresso cups and spoon holders

Tiny espresso cups or spoon holders can make great favors. They’ll be a little more expensive, but they could definitely be affordable for smaller weddings. You can buy pre-decorated cups from many online suppliers. If you’re feeling really creative, you could buy plain espresso cups and decorate them with your initials, wedding date, or wedding colors using some paints for ceramics.

Espresso beans

For an even simpler gift that takes almost no time, buy some espresso beans, which you can get in bulk from many grocery stores. Cut or buy tulle circles, place a spoonful of beans in the center of each circle, and tie up your gifts with matching ribbon. The beans will smell wonderful on your reception tables, and guests can toast you with a cup of genuine espresso when they use their beans at home.

Olive oil

What says “Italy” like olive oil? This pretty, useful gift will delight your guests. You can purchase tiny olive oil bottles online, tie them with pretty ribbons, and let your guests take them home to remember you by. If you can’t find bottles that you like, you can always fill empty bottles on your own using a funnel and a large jug of olive oil.

Olives

If you want something a little more solid than olive oil, why not try olives? You can also buy tiny cans of olives that would look lovely on your reception tables if you added a bit of ribbon or wrapped them in tulle.

Almonds

These traditional items also make great Italian wedding favors, since they’re also traditional in Italy. Candy coated almonds can be placed in DIY boxes or wrapped in tulle circles for lovely presentation.

Adding a taste of Italy to your wedding is easy using these Italian wedding favors. Pair them up with some beautiful flowers and bright, Mediterranean colors for beautiful wedding decorations. You’ll love your wedding décor, and your guests will almost be able to feel that warm Mediterranean breeze.
