Hi everyone,
I am searching for some original catholic wedding favor? Could you kindly help me with you proposals?
I have attended several weddings where small rosary was given as a favor, so I would like something different but still with a catholic note?
Thanks!
Re: Catholic wedding favor
I do have a friend that makes chaplets. They are meant to be worn. She also makes keychains with crosses, although that is absolutely not Catholic specific.

How about cookies in the shape of a church facade? You could probably find bookmarks with scripture. Have you looked at a Christian book store?
I'm with MobKaz, as a Catholic myself, it never occurred to me that I should have a Catholic-specific favor. Is your guest list 100% Catholic? If I were a non-Catholic and received a Catholic favor, it would be left on the table when I left for the evening.
Overall, I always recommend an edible favor. It is almost guaranteed that they will all go. You could put a small prayer on the favor tag of the bag.

I'm going to vote for food too as a favor... Or skip the favor and splurge on a larger slice of cake.
Granted, I melt down the leftover nubs from the altar candles for our church and almost suggested asking for them from your church then melting them down into votives as a favor before reminding myself just how much I spent on having a set-up for doing that job even though I don't get a penny out of the project. Thinking across the many faiths that your guests might be a part of for ideas, the church is very much about tradition, you could do a beeswax votive/taper/etc. (church candles need to be a minimum of 51% beeswax). Dadant & Son's is the biggest supplier in the country for these and are easy to work with, you could see what options you'd have for your guest count that could be used as a favor.
I'd prefer the candle over a rosary any day of the week and I'm a practicing Catholic.. Unless your wedding is in Rome and the rosaries are blessed by the Holy Father himself, I'm just NAF of that idea because not only the expense you'd go through for anything that guests would want to take home, but the "it fits into the same class as a cross cookie cut-out, just no!" But really, skip the favors and upgrade something for your guests instead (nicer protein for dinner, or larger slice of cake, or extra appetizer, etc.)...
That doesn't mean that those can't work at all. But just be careful. I know I wouldn't know what I'd do with a Jewish or Muslim prayer card.
Another vote for unless every guest is Catholic, not to go this route. It's one thing for guests to sit through a Catholic Ceremony, but as a non-Catholic, if you give me a favor that represents the catholic faith, it's either going to be left behind or go into the trash the next morning when I clean out my evening purse
