If you’re looking for sustainable wedding favors, you’ll find them here! We found nine fab eco-friendly and sustainable favors for weddings to send home with guests. This will encourage you and your guests to go green!

What makes sustainable, eco-friendly favors for weddings such a smart idea? Instead of creating more waste that eventually gets thrown away, you’re actually using all of it — or planting it back into the earth. These reusable favors are smart ways to add sustainability to your wedding plans. And think about it this way: you’ll be adding to usefulness in the daily lives of guests, or adding new flowers and trees to Ma Earth, rather than adding to the landfill.

As a bonus, most of these are HANDMADE! Yay! That means your purchase is helping a small business when you order. (How awesome is that?!)

9. Fair Trade Wedding Favors, price varies

First, choose coffee beans that are fair trade. Next, buy them in bulk.

TIP: This coffee is USDA organic, Fair Trade certified, and available in bulk.

Third, buy zip seal coffee bags like these that will keep the beans fresh.

Finally, place the bean bag inside this coffee favor bag, beautifully made by Mavora. There! Now you have wonderful sustainable wedding favors for coffee drinkers — and they’ll seriously love you for it. :)

BONUS: Reusable Wedding Favor Masks

Okay, okay: we know Covid is a major pain-in-the-you-know-what. But actually, the reusable face masks make perfectly sustainable favors for weddings in 2020. And maybe even 2021.

We wrote an entire post on it here with many different options.

You can also shop a variety of face mask favors.

And there you have it: handmade, socially conscious wedding favors that go above and beyond! It’s not tough to choose more natural take-home party favors; you just have to know where to buy reusable wedding favors, as we’ve shown you on this list.

Which of these eco-friendly options win your vote for the most creative? The fair trade wedding favors — the coffee — is my top pick. But that’s because I love coffee, those beans are a great deal, and I’m sure they taste amazing. I also like that cold-pressed soap. It looks so pretty, it might be hard to actually use it. I’d display it in my guest bathroom! :)
