I do not sell wedding favours from a menu. You get in touch, we talk, and we build the order around your day.
That can be small jars of raw honey for every guest. It can be a mix of plain and flavoured honey. It can include a gift box or a beeswax candle for the wedding party. Nothing is fixed until we have spoken. Small guest jars start from £3 for 50 g of plain honey with a personalised label. Creamed or fruit honey is £3.25. Minimum order is 10 jars.
How it works
You tell me the date, roughly how many guests, and what you have in mind. If you are still deciding whether a jar is the right object, start with what makes a unique wedding favour. If the object is already honey and you only need the number, use how many honey wedding favours you need — it is the catering list plus 10 percent, not the invitation count.
I tell you what honey I have from the hives at that time of year. If you can visit, you taste it. Most people know what they want once they have a spoon in their hand. If you cannot visit, I describe what is in the cupboard and we choose from that.
Then we agree:
- which honey goes in the guest jars
- whether the wedding party gets something larger or a small set
- whether the label is plain or personalised with your names and the date
- how it is packed and when you need it
I would rather get those details right than guess and post 80 jars you did not ask for.
Give guests something they will remember
A small jar is the simple favour. It works. You can also give them more.
Instead of a loose mini jar on every plate, many couples decide a small set: two honeys, or honey with a beeswax candle, packed in a box. It costs more per guest. It also looks like a present, not a token. People take it home.
We can do:
- one small jar each (the basic favour)
- a larger jar for fewer people
- a set built from what is already in the shop — raw honey, flavoured honey, creamed honey, a gift box, a beeswax candle
You do not have to put a full set on every chair. A common split: small jar for the room, a proper set for the top table and the people you want to thank properly.
Say what you want the guest to walk out with. We pack that.
If you already have a budget
Guest jars start from £3 each for 50 g of plain honey, including a personalised kraft label. Creamed honey or honey with fruit is £3.25. The minimum order is 10 jars.
These figures are for the jars and the personalised kraft label. Postage is not included.
| Adult guests | Jars to order | Plain honey @ £3 | Fruit / creamed @ £3.25 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 22 | £66 | £71.50 |
| 40 | 44 | £132 | £143 |
| 80 | 88 | £264 | £286 |
| 100 | 110 | £330 | £357.50 |
| 120 | 132 | £396 | £429 |
If your day is 78 adults, order about 86. The extra jars cost less than a second batch the week before.
UK mainland postage is quoted with the jar total, once I have the count and the postcode. It depends on weight. Every wedding-favour parcel is sent insured. The table is jars only.
Larger jars, candles and gift boxes are priced separately. Tell me the date and roughly how many guests. I will say what that budget actually buys and send two options: a simple one and a fuller one.
Personalised labels
If you want names and a date on the lid, we do that. You send the exact wording. I do not invent a slogan for you.
If you prefer the ordinary Buzzy Honey Bee label, that is fine too. Personalised is an option, not a rule. If you are choosing the words for the jar, what to put on a honey wedding favour label is the short guide. Names, the date, and one extra. That is enough.
Honey from the hive
This is raw honey from my own apiaries in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. It may set in the jar. That is normal. If a guest has not seen set honey before, one sentence on a card sorts it: warm the jar in water, it is still honey.
I will not dress it up as a supermarket blend or as a health product. It is the honey from the boxes, put into a jar you can give someone.
Timing
Weddings need a date in the diary. Six weeks is comfortable: time to taste, choose the honey and print the labels without a rush.
If the date is closer than that, we work with what is already bottled and skip extras that need more time. Put the wedding date in your message so I can say what is still possible.
A personal page for your guests
You can add small white QR code stickers to the lids of the jars for an extra £40 on the order. When a guest scans the code, it opens a private page on this site made for your wedding. The address is short and yours for example:
- buzzyhoneybee.co.uk/oliviaandarthur
- buzzyhoneybee.co.uk/with the date and name,
- or any other short name you prefer – buzzyhoneybee.co.uk/………
The page can hold a short thank-you, the story of how you met, a photo of the two of you, a few lines about the day, or anything else you would like guests to see. It can be as simple or as personal as you wish. We write it together.
Here is how it works:
- You tell me what you would like on the page.
- I create the page with the address you choose and send you the link.
- We work on it until you are completely happy with it.
- Once you are satisfied, I can set the page to private and activate it a day or a week before the wedding — whichever you prefer.
- We also agree how long the page stays available after it is published (one week, one month, two months, or whatever length you choose).
Guests can access the page by scanning the QR code or by typing the exact web address.
The stickers are white and 24 mm in diameter. They can go on the lid, underneath the jar, on the back of the jar, or I can print them separately so you apply them wherever you prefer. They do not have to go on the jars at all. If you prefer to apply them yourselves, I will include ten extra stickers. I can only print them in white.
It is entirely optional. The jars work perfectly well without it.
How to order honey wedding favours
Fill in the form below and I will reply with the total cost: the price of the jars and the postage (if you need them posted). If you are collecting in person, there is no postage to pay. If you choose the QR stickers and personal page, I will include the additional charge of £40 for that as well.
To confirm the order you pay a non-refundable deposit:
- £50 for honey jars
- £90 if you also add the QR stickers and personal page
Once the deposit is paid, we start working together. I create the design of the personalised labels and stickers. When you are happy with the design, I send you a private YouTube link (unlisted) so you can see how the sticker looks on the actual jar. A sticker on flat paper can look different once it is on the curved lid or glass. The video is visible only to you. After you approve the design, and if you have chosen the QR stickers and personal page option, I create your personal page on the Buzzy Honey Bee website. We work on it until you are completely happy with it. Everything after that is handled by email.
The remaining balance is due before the jars are sent or collected.

Get in touch
Use the form below. In the message put the wedding date, the delivery postcode, how many plain / creamed / fruit jars you want, and the names for the label. I’ll send the jar total and the postage. This is not a payment. Write what you are thinking, even if it is only “about 30 guests, small jars, maybe a label”. If you want the jar count first, use the guide to how many honey wedding favours and send me that figure. We take it from there.
