The average wedding in Hong Kong is estimated to cost $360,000, so it comes as no surprise that couples are looking to cut corners wherever they can! An ode to the mix-tape days, making a CD is a unique and budget-friendly wedding favour that’s sure to get your guests reminiscing about your big day (including the hangover that went with it!) every time they play it. From the song that you walked down the aisle to, to hits that had the whole party throwing some serious shapes, simply download your playlist to a blank disc and personalise with your own CD cover.

How much: A pack of 100 CDs start from $130 on Amazon or alternatively make a trip to Wan Chai computer centre to see what you can find. A pack of 10 personalised CD covers from Not On The High Street costs approx $100 (original prices are quoted in GBP.)

Getting hitched in Hong Kong? Enter your guests into the lottery and make it special by choosing your numbers using a combination of dates which matter to you most (i.e. your wedding day!). Alternatively shell out for some scratch cards and fill a jar full of pennies for guests to get scratching with. With any luck, someone might just be able to pick up the bar tab (or a few Gatorades come morning).

How much: A standard Mark Six ticket costs $10 – more details here.

If you’re tying the knot in Thailand or booking a blissful beach front wedding in Bali, these personalised bottle openers could be the perfect keepsake. A couple of clicks around Pinterest will definitely spark a few ideas for the occasion (fans for the ceremony are also a hot contender), but a bottle opener is a cute nod to your destination wedding and practical in that your guests will probably continue using them to pop a few beer caps throughout their holiday!

How much: Costs will vary depending on your distributor of choice i.e. Etsy/Amazon (and whether you choose to personalise the item), but we’d suggest scouting TaoBao for the best deals!

Have your guests literally feeling like kids in a sweet shop by setting up a candy bar for dessert! Do a bit of Googling as there are some pretty incredible display ideas floating around the internet, but even if you keep it simple this is one wedding favour that won’t disappoint.

How much: Sweet bundles from Mr Simms start from $2,500 for 8kg (with a choice of five different types of candy) – more details here.

We’ve all heard that “by the year 2050 there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish” so why not forgo the plastic at your wedding entirely and give your guests a reusable straw that they can drink their coconut rum with instead? If your budget allows, buy each guest a little set which includes a draw-string pouch and straw cleaner, or alternatively just opt for an array of gold, silver or rainbow stainless steel to compliment your wedding theme.

How much: Buy single straws from HK businesses such as Live Zero from $20 per piece, or head to Amazon to buy in bulk.
