If you’re currently planning your wedding like I am, you know there are so many finishing touches to consider. From centerpieces to guest books, you want your wedding to be a memorable reflection of you and your partner’s relationship. One thing I’m currently considering is parting gifts. There are so many affordable (but seemingly high-end) wedding gifts for invitees at every price point from personalized matches to succulents and more to make your day extra special.
Of course, each of these party favors seems super luxurious. But we’ve come up with gifts under $25, under $50, under $100 and over $100. And really, anywhere you can save money while planning one of the most lavish parties of your life is game-changing.
12 Affordable Wedding Gifts for Invitees
Options under $25
1. Open a Cold One: Custom wedding koozies are something your friends and family will use for years to come after your big day. Customize them with your names and wedding date on the front for just a little more than a $1 each.
2. Blooming Love: Give the gift of breathtaking wild flowers by handing out plantable seed paper. At $25 mark for 50 sheets, this is beautiful and sweet, yet so affordable. And if you’re feeling crafty, you can write something on them, too!

Under $50 ideas
4. Relax: Personalized boho-style soy wax candles are a clean and super cozy reminder of your lovely day. But just $35 for 12 candles is incredibly doable, especially if you’re having a relatively small wedding.
5. Light Up: There’s truly nothing more sophisticated than made-to-order matchbooks with your name and the date of your wedding. Your guests will absolutely love these (and pairing them with the candles above would make for the ultimate parting gift duo!).
6. Cheers: Non-slip cork coasters sporting your names and wedding date are both elegant and super functional. Plus, they’re heat-resistant, so they can even withstand many morning coffees to come.
Gifts under $100
7. Go Fish: Give the gift of fun with decks of custom playing cards. Even though it seems like these would be costly, they’re just $55 for 10 packs. So marginally over $500 if you’re doling them out to 100 guests… not too shabby!
8. Drink Up: Your loved will look back on your special day fondly every time they crack open a bottle of wine and sip from custom-made wine glasses. They come in a variety of designs that’ll sport your names and the date of your wedding, for the perfect touch.
9. Growth: Your love will continue to grow long after your wedding, when you hand out tiny assorted succulents from your special day. Yes, plants tend to be pricey. But at $80 for a 40-count box, they’re only about $2 each.
Goodies over $100
10. Cookie Love: Indulge in personalized wedding cake cookies for the ultimate parting gift. Because honestly, cookies are so much better than wedding cake. Oh, and a hot tip: these types of cookies freeze well, so if you buy extras, you can enjoy some on your anniversary, too!
11. Syrupy Sweet: To commemorate a wedding in the woods, splurge on high-quality gift-sized maple syrup as a parting gift. Who won’t love making pancakes once they return from your wild day among the trees?
12. Stay Cool: Your guests will be eternally grateful for personalized hand fans for a hot summer wedding. And once the party’s over, they’ll be able to use it for many hot days to come.
