FAQ

Things couples ask us

+ How far in advance should I place a wedding favour order?

Six to eight weeks is comfortable for orders up to 200. For 200-500 favours we recommend ten weeks. We can sometimes turn smaller orders around in three weeks; email hello@vividdelights.co.uk first so we can confirm capacity for your date.

+ Do you put guest names on the labels?

You have two options. Option one is a single design across every favour with your names and date, most couples choose this. Option two is one design per table, with the table name or number printed on. Place cards (one favour per guest with the guest name) is on a per-quote basis as it adds significant artwork time.

+ What is the minimum order?

Wedding favours start at 25 jars, 30 cones, or 25 fudge favour boxes. Volume pricing kicks in at 50, 100, and 200+ units. There is no upper limit.

+ How much do wedding favours cost?

Sweet jars start at £24.95 per jar (970ml, hand-filled, personalised label). Sweet cones start at £3.70 per cone. Fudge favour boxes (4 pieces, kraft, personalised lid) start at £5.50. Volume discounts apply: 5% off at 50+, 10% at 100+, 15% at 200+. Use the calculator on /favours for an instant estimate.

+ Can you deliver to the venue?

Yes. Delivery on favour orders is free, and we plan dispatch so they arrive the working week before the wedding. For Essex venues we can also hand-deliver to the venue or a coordinator within 48 hours of dispatch. Tell us the venue address and date at checkout.

+ What if a jar arrives broken?

We pack jars individually in protective sleeves inside double-walled boxes. Damage is rare. If anything arrives broken, photograph it and email us within 48 hours, we replace it free of charge from our overstock buffer (we make 5% over your order to cover this).

+ Are the sweets vegetarian / vegan / nut-free?

Most of our pick & mix is vegetarian, with a strong vegan range (Bubs, Candycrave, Vidal, Kingsway). For weddings we can build a fully vegan jar on request. Our kitchen handles nuts in the fudge range; if you have severe allergies in the wedding party, email us and we will build a clean batch on a separate run.

+ Can guests with dietary needs get a different favour?

Yes. The simplest pattern is a small alternative run: 10-20 fully-vegan jars at the bulk price, marked clearly so you can place them at specific seats. Mention it in the enquiry notes and we will quote it together.

+ Do you do save-the-date jars or wedding-shower favours separately?

Yes, same jars, smaller quantities, often as a single design. Save-the-dates work well as the small (500ml) personalised jar with the wedding date on the label. We can match the design to the main wedding favours so guests recognise the through-line on the day.
