We’ve all been there — you leave a wedding with a bag of trinkets that ends up in the trash by Monday. But what if your wedding favors were something guests actually wanted to keep?
The Problem With Traditional Wedding Favors
Cookie-cutter favors with generic labels don’t feel personal. They feel like an obligation. The solution? Something engraved with your names, your date, or a message that means something — something guests will use long after the reception.

Favors Your Guests Will Actually Use
Beyond coasters and bottle openers, there are more engraved favors that earn a place in daily life. Keychains get clipped to car keys and bags. Pens find their way to desks and offices. Compact mirrors, wine charms, and small wooden signs are also popular choices for couples who want something a little different. The key is choosing items with real, everyday utility.
How Much Do Custom Wedding Favors Cost?
At 8Ball, custom engraved favors start at just $3.99 each — making them affordable at any guest count. Because there’s no minimum order, you pay only for what you need. Engraving is included, so the price you see is the price you get. Ordering in bulk can also open up additional savings, so ask about options for larger weddings.
Tips for Choosing and Ordering
Pick favors that match your theme and venue. For a beach wedding, opt for bottle openers and keychains; for a formal affair, engraved pens and slate coasters work beautifully. Order 3–4 weeks out to leave room for our 3–5 day turnaround, and always double-check the spelling of names and dates before we start. Your guests will notice the care in every detail.
