Weddings

The wedding favour jar

Our VIP keepsake jar for the top table: what it is, how it is personalised, and how to get a quote.

A jar for the top table

Our VIP keepsake jar is the 970ml jar, filled by hand with pick and mix and finished with a personalised label. It is made for the people closest to the day: parents, the bridal party, the top table.

Personalising it

The label can carry a name or your wedding date. You can have one design for everyone, or one per table.

For everyone else

A full-size jar is a generous favour. For the rest of your guests, a personalised sweet cone or a 4-piece fudge favour box is a smaller one, and the keepsake jars can stay with the top table. Our wedding favours guide covers all three.

Getting a quote

On the favours page, choose the keepsake jar and a quantity to see an indicative total, including any volume saving. The page also shows the minimum order. Send us your event details and date, and we reply with a confirmed price in writing.
