The Wedding Favour Nobody Leaves on the Table

Why Personalised Stickers Work as Wedding Favours

Wedding favours often get left behind. The sugared almonds, the tiny candles, the engraved bottle openers: guests smile politely, then leave them on the table.

A personalised sticker of the couple as illustrated characters is different. It's specific to you. It's recognisably your faces, your style, placed in a scene that means something to your relationship. Guests can stick it on a laptop or a water bottle, so your wedding stays in their daily life after the cake is gone.

This guide walks you through exactly how to make it happen, from design to delivery, whether you're planning for 50 guests or 150.

Step 1: Create Your Design

Head to stickerme.club and upload clear photos of you and your partner. The AI transforms you into illustrated characters and places you in a scene you choose.

Pick a scene that reflects your relationship. Space Explorer is surprisingly romantic: the two of you drifting among the stars. Fairy Garden suits outdoor or garden ceremonies with its soft, whimsical feel. If humour is more your thing, Superhero puts you both in capes.

Use the Name Labels sticker type to add your names and wedding date on a banner. The Classic Ribbon style gives a traditional feel. Bubble is more playful if that suits your vibe.

Step 2: Work Out Your Numbers

Count your guest list and add 15-20% for extras. You will need spares for last-minute additions, the bridal table, and the inevitable "can I have another one for my mum?"

Here's a quick guide:

  • 50 guests: 58-60 stickers
  • 100 guests: 115-120 stickers
  • 150 guests: 173-180 stickers

Check how many stickers come per sheet for your chosen size, then order enough sheets to cover your total. A couple of leftover stickers is better than being three short on the day.

Step 3: Choose Your Size

For details, check the full sticker materials and sizing guide. As a quick reference:

  • Small (about 15 per sheet): Envelope seals and favour bag closures
  • Medium (about 8 per sheet): Favour bags and place settings
  • Large (about 4 per sheet): Guest book covers or display pieces
  • XL (about 2 per sheet): Signs and display pieces

Every sheet is printed on the same waterproof laminated stock, so there's no finish to choose, and the stickers stick to paper and card as well as jars and bags.

Step 4: Plan Your Timeline

Don't leave it to the week before.

  • 8-10 weeks before: Finalise your design and place a test order of one sheet. Check the colours, the size, and how it looks on your favour bags or cards.
  • 6 weeks before: Place your full order. Standard delivery takes 5–7 business days after printing, and buffer time means you won't be stress-refreshing a tracking page the week of the wedding.
  • 2 weeks before: Stickers arrive. Assemble your favours. Recruit a bridesmaid.
  • Day of: Everything is done. One less thing to worry about.

Step 5: Decide How to Present Them

You've got options beyond just placing a sticker on the table.

On favour bags or jars. Stick your illustrated sticker on a plain kraft bag filled with lollies, a honey jar, or a small candle. The sticker turns a generic favour into something personal, and it works for any guest count.

As a standalone favour. A sticker on a small backing card with a handwritten "thank you" is a complete favour on its own. Simple, personal, and under budget.

At the kids' table. If you'd rather keep costs down, use stickers just for the kids' table. Create a version with the couple in a fun scene, and let kids stick them on whatever they want. It keeps them entertained and gives parents a breather during speeches.

On the guest book. Leave a sheet at the guest book table. Guests peel off a sticker and place it alongside their message. You end up with a guest book you actually want to look through again.

What About Kids at the Wedding?

If you're creating stickers for the kids' table specifically, consider making each child a sticker of themselves as a character. Upload a photo of each child, pick a scene, and they get a personalised sticker waiting at their place setting. It doubles as entertainment and a take-home gift. For more ideas on stickers for kids' birthday parties, we've got a separate guide.

Budget Breakdown

Sheets start from $12.00 AUD, then drop to $10.00 AUD each from 3 sheets and $8.00 AUD each from 10. Divide your sticker count by the stickers per sheet for your size to get the number of sheets: 120 Medium stickers is about 15 sheets, for example. The cart shows the total, including shipping, before you pay.

For couples on a tight budget, stickers also pair with personalised gifts under $20. A sticker plus a small bag of locally roasted coffee or homemade shortbread is a memorable favour that doesn't blow out the budget.

One Fewer Decision

Wedding planning involves hundreds of small decisions, and most of them take longer than they should. This one doesn't. Upload your photos, pick a scene, add your names, and you're done.

Your guests get a personalised wedding favour that actually looks like you: not a generic silhouette and a cursive font. And when someone asks where you got them, you get to feel quietly smug about the one wedding decision that was genuinely easy.
