Wedding Favours & Gifts in Nova Scotia

Wedding favours are a thoughtful way to thank your guests for celebrating with you. Nova Scotia is home to a community of artisans, makers, and small businesses that create beautiful, personalized wedding favours and gifts. From locally sourced maple products and Annapolis Valley wines to artisanal chocolates, custom candles, seed packets for guests to plant, and Maritime-themed gifts, Nova Scotia vendors offer a wonderful variety of options.

In Nova Scotia, wedding favours typically cost $2 to $8 per guest. Simple favours like personalized stickers or small candy bags start at $2 per guest, while premium favours like custom candles, engraved glassware, or artisanal food gifts can range from $5 to $12 per guest. Many couples also create welcome bags for out-of-town guests, filled with local Nova Scotia treats, maps, and personalized notes, typically costing $12 to $30 per bag.

Nova Scotia's local food and craft scene makes it easy to find meaningful favours. Popular options include Nova Scotia maple syrup and maple products, Annapolis Valley wine and ice wine, artisanal chocolates, locally distilled spirits from Nova Scotia craft distilleries, craft beer from local breweries, wild blueberry products (a Maritime specialty), Digby scallops or smoked salmon for foodie favours, handmade soaps and candles, custom cookies, and locally made jams and preserves. For eco-conscious couples, seed bombs, potted succulents, and reusable items are increasingly popular.

When choosing favours, consider your guest count and budget, whether the favour is practical or edible (edible favours are generally the most appreciated), how they will be displayed at the reception, and whether you need them personalized. Order favours 2 to 3 months before the wedding to allow time for production and personalization. Many Nova Scotia vendors offer custom packaging and labels to match your wedding colours and theme.
