Finding a thoughtful favor that fits your vibe and your budget is quit the endeavor. So we are sharing our favorite wedding favors for 2021 and 2022. We’ll share NOLA specialties, edibles, health-conscience, home inspired, and season gifts for spoiling your guests.

New Orleans Specialties

Pralines

2. Roman Candy

3. Mini Hot Sauce Bottle (Crystal, Slap Ya Mama, Louisiana)

This one is especially good if you are second lining. Plastic cups are inexpensive to personalize and useful beyond wedding day! Plus in NOLA, you can take them with you, filled to the brim with your fav cocktail.

Buy them plain, or have them personalized. This one is especially fun around Mardi Gras, or anytime for out-of-town guests.

7. Pat O Brien’s Hurricane Mix

8. Hubig’s Pies
These have been a New Orleans tradition for almost 100 years.

9. Café Du Monde Beignets or Beignet Mix
