New Year’s Eve Wedding Favours
Party Props Table
When it comes to adding a personal touch to your event, having a selection of props and supplies nearby can make all the difference. A photo booth or designated prop area is a great way to capture memories with friends and family. To make this experience even more enjoyable, consider setting up a table stocked with an assortment of items. You can find a wide range of party-themed goods at stores like Primark and Marks & Spencer.
As an added bonus, if you’re planning ahead for next year’s celebration, you may be able to snag some discounted items after the New Year’s festivities have passed.
Alarm Clocks
As the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, Emma and Gavin celebrated the start of a new year together – quite literally. The couple, who tied the knot in a unique ceremony, chose to ring in their special day with a thoughtful touch: alarm clock wedding favors that went off at exactly 12am.
Party Blowers
As the clock strikes midnight, consider adding a unique touch to your gathering by including a few discreet containers filled with aromatic delights. Allow your guests to indulge in this special treat as they mingle and socialize, creating an atmosphere that’s both memorable and enjoyable.

Mini Bottles of Champagne
As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, a thoughtful and festive touch can be added to each table setting with a celebratory snipe. This unique wedding favor is especially meaningful if you’re planning an outdoor celebration featuring fireworks or a sparkler photo opportunity! The joy of sharing this special moment with loved ones is amplified by the thoughtful gesture.
Instax
One of the most enjoyable ways to capture the essence of a celebration is by leaving disposable cameras or instant film cameras like Instax by Fujifilm strategically placed throughout the event. This approach not only encourages guests to let their hair down and have fun but also results in unique, unscripted moments that will become treasured keepsakes.
Imagine the laughter and excitement as your friends and family wear their party props and strike a pose, knowing that the memories they create will be preserved forever.
Wedding Wands with Bells
Why reserve the tradition of ringing in good luck only for newlyweds, when you can celebrate a new beginning on New Year’s Eve? The charm of sending off newlywed couples with a gentle chime is undeniable. This unique and thoughtful gesture can be elevated to an even more special occasion by incorporating it into your NYE wedding favors.
A wand adorned with a bell is the perfect way to bid adieu to the old year and welcome the new one, filling the air with good vibes and wishes for the happy couple.
Midnight Shots
As you count down to the new year outside, keep your loved ones cozy with thoughtful mini bottles of whiskey. Consider adding personalized tags to make it an extra special moment. For instance, you could add a message like ‘We tied the knot, now take a shot at midnight’ to commemorate the occasion. A photo by Landon Jacob Photography via Southern Weddings perfectly captures the magic of this festive moment.
Sequin Confetti
Adding some sparkle to your midnight celebration is as easy as it gets! Instead of going for traditional and potentially messy confetti, why not opt for eco-friendly sequins?
