Other food items that can be used as unique wedding party favors are small bottles of the couple’s favorite wine or packets of tea or coffee.

Live Plants And Animals

These unique wedding party favors are a bit tricky since the recipients need to be able to care for the living thing that the couple will be giving out. Plants are basically less costly compared to live animals and easier for the recipients to take care of. Herbs in small, pretty pots are great as a unique wedding party favor.
