Give your guests something special to remember your day forever by sending them home with a special Japanese wedding favor. If you’re having a Japanese wedding, or simply an Asian inspired wedding, you’ve got many different choices when it comes time to choose your favors!

Folding Fans

Japanese paper fans and hand fans are a lovely gift, which can be personalized to suit your wedding day. This is a perfect option – especially if your ceremony is outside during the summer months, as your guests can put their fans to good use right away! Fans come in a variety of colors and designs. Look for fans made with a sandalwood base and a color that matches your big day, such as red, gold, or white! You can choose fans that feature a solid color or an intricate design, and most have an colored tassel which you can always replace with a special ribbon!

Chopsticks

Another great gift idea is to give each guest a pair of chopsticks! These are the perfect wedding favor as they are unique, traditional, and quite inexpensive when purchased in bulk. For a special touch, purchase chopsticks with the Japanese kanji characters, “kotobuki,” meaning congratulations and long life. Chopsticks typically come packaged in a clear plastic sleeve and are priced per pair, not per stick. Many companies will allow you to engrave a personal message into your chopsticks.

Cherry Blossom Wedding Favors

The cherry blossom has long been a symbol of love and beauty, and there are so many gift options available to you if you choose to utilize this classic Asian theme. Look for frosted glass coasters with a cherry blossom motif, cherry blossom favor candles, personalized cherry blossom mint tins, lipglosses or hand cream.

Asian Ornaments

Unique glass ornament balls are perfect if you are planning a Japanese-inspired wedding near the holidays. Look for beautiful glass ornaments that feature Japanese symbols for happiness and good fortune, love, wisdom or peace. You might opt to give ornaments that feature beautiful butterfly, floral crane or bird themes.

Other Japanese Gifts

Wind chimes, sake sets, and bowl gift sets are also fabulous options if your budget allows you to spend a little more on favors for your guests. A typical dinner set might include one square plate, two sauce dishes, and a set of chopsticks.

Bath and Spa

Beautifully aromatic incense sticks, aromatherapy diffusers, or candles are the perfect gift to give to your guests. Choose Japanese-inspired bath salts, candles, or bubble baths to add a Zen sense of relaxation for your guests to take home!
