Hosting your wedding in Seattle? Are many of your guests coming in from out of town? Consider extending the celebration of your Seattle wedding by providing Seattle-themed party favors to take home.
10 Seattle-Themed Wedding Favor Ideas
1) Coffee - nothing says Seattle quite like coffee.
Design your own wedding-themed coffee packets as favors or take advantage of the coffee-related gifts from the many local coffee roasters & shops.
2) Chocolate - yes, another caffeine-inspired wedding favor idea. It’s no secret that Seattleites push through overcast days with various forms of caffeine.
There are many places to source your Seattle chocolate wedding favors including Frans, Theo, Seattle Fudge, Seattle Chocolate Company/ Jcoco, Indi Chocolate, Intrigue Chocolates, Dote and our neighbors Seleuss Chocolates.
3) Tree Seeds - in the heart of the evergreen state, Seattle is known for its green trees and love of the environment.
A Vancouver, WA based company called Tree in a Box has wedding favors that allow your guests to grow a tree at home. If trees aren’t your thing, you can provide other types of seeds as wedding favors including herbs, wildflowers for bees, or anything that ties into your wedding. “Let love grow” is a common phrase used on DIY wedding seed packet favors.
4) Smoked Salmon - celebrate the Pacific Northwest with a smoked salmon parting gift for your guests.
5) Cheese - chances are your out of town guests will make it to Pike Place Market and many will fall in love with Beecher’s cheese.
Outside of Beecher’s, Mt Townsend Creamery, Samish Bay, and Cascadia creamery are also worth a look. For WSU grads, the obvious choice is Cougar Gold.
6) Wine or wine-related favors - Seattle and the state of Washington has many great award-winning wines (check out this interactive map by the WA Wine Commission)
If you are lucky, your favorite wine will come in smaller, sample sized bottles. If not, customized wine stoppers could be fun.
7) Seattle Magnets - from the Space Needle to Mount Rainier, there are plenty of magnets available to help guests remember your wedding.
Besides using stock tourist magnets, you could order online and come up with your own custom design, which would allow you to add your wedding details to a magnet.
8) Microbrew Paraphernalia - home to over 375 microbreweries, it is clear that craft beer is an important part of Seattle’s culture. If you can’t send them home with a bottle, you can still remind them of your wedding and the excellent beer they enjoyed.
9) Custom Labeled Soda Bottles - Seattle-based Jones Soda allows you to order custom labels. Choose your favorite flavor, add your wedding-related photo, and customize the text on the back of the label.
10) Space Needle Favors - perhaps the most recognizable Seattle symbol, there are many different Space Needle souvenirs you could repurpose as wedding favors.
