Your Ultimate Guide to Wedding Favours and Door Gifts in Singapore

Most wedding packages in Singapore include complimentary door gifts, but let’s be honest—some are thoughtful and classy, while others make you wonder if they were leftovers from last year’s D&D. Before you blindly accept whatever’s in the package, here’s everything you need to know about hotel wedding favours—including whether you should stick with them, upgrade them, or go rogue and get your own.

1. What Kind of Wedding Favours Do Hotels Provide? Most hotels have a pre-set list of wedding favours that you can choose from. While the exact options vary, here are some of the most common door gifts included in hotel packages: 🪡 Mini sewing kits – Because nothing screams “romance” like a needle and thread. 🃏 Playing cards – Fun if your guests like poker, meh if they don’t. 💅 Manicure sets – Surprisingly useful, but do your guests really need it? 🥤 Reusable straw sets – Great for the environment, but… everyone already owns one. 🍪 Macarons or cookies – Finally, something edible! 🍾 Multi-purpose bottle openers – Functional, but not exactly exciting. 🍽 Blissful dishes – A tiny plate that’s too small for food but too big to be a coaster. Sounds familiar? That’s because every hotel seems to have the same lineup—some of these are great, but others are as forgettable as your cousin’s wedding playlist.

2. Should You Stick With the Standard Favours or Upgrade? Most hotels will give you the option to upgrade your wedding favours—for a price, of course. So, should you? Here’s the breakdown: ✅ Stick with standard favours if…

• You’re on a budget and don’t really care what guests get.
• The standard favours are actually decent (i.e., macarons or practical items).
• You know your guests won’t be fussy and just want free stuff. 🚀 Upgrade if…
• You want something personalised or more luxurious.
• The included favours are boring or useless.
• You want something guests won’t leave behind.
