Let’s be honest—your wedding favors deserve better than a generic “thank you” tag and some pastel almonds. You’re getting married in Poland! A land of soulful art, colorful traditions, and handcrafts that are practically bursting with charm (and maybe a hint of pierogi-shaped magic).
Whether you're a local couple or planning a dreamy destination wedding here, incorporating authentic Polish crafts into your wedding favors is more than just a cute idea—it’s an experience. It’s giving your guests a piece of Poland to hold, smell, taste, and remember forever.
Here are 10 unforgettable Polish crafts that make perfect wedding favors:
1. Bolesławiec Pottery Miniatures
🍶 Elegant • Timeless • Made in Lower Silesia
You’ve seen the classic blue-and-white polka-dot mugs. But imagine teeny-tiny Bolesławiec teacups, bells, or hearts, handcrafted and unique. That’s your favor.
Pair it with a tag: “For your morning coffee – and our lifelong memories.”
🛍 Where to find: Manufaktura Bolesławiec
2. Łowicz Wycinanki (Folk Paper Cuttings)
✂️ Colorful • Lightweight • So very Polish
Vibrant, symmetrical, and straight from the heart of Mazowsze. These folk cutouts look like they came from a dream—and make great bookmarks, envelope inserts, or framed keepsakes.
Imagine a guest opening their favor and saying, “What is this beautiful thing?” Exactly.
3. Beeswax Candles from Podlasie
🕯 Sustainable • Fragrant • Hand-rolled with love
Tiny beeswax candles shaped like roses or hearts? Yes, please. These give off a warm, honeyed scent and a whole lot of hygge.
Tag suggestion: “Let our love light your way.”
🏡 Look locally or check craft fairs like Warsaw’s Hala Mirowska.
4. Zakopane-Style Wooden Hearts
🪵 Rustic • Mountain-chic • Góralski vibes included
Nothing says “romance in the mountains” like hand-carved trinkets from the Tatra region. Think: little wooden hearts, keychains, spoons—each with Highlander soul.
📍 Visit: Skansen Tabor Zakopane
5. Króówki in Folk-Print Wrapping
🍬 Soft • Sweet • Addictively Polish
These creamy caramels (krówki = little cows!) melt in your mouth and wrap perfectly in folk-print paper or linen bags. Bonus: they're universally loved by grandparents and toddlers.

6. Mini Honey Jars from Polish Apiaries
🍯 Sweet • Natural • Oh-so-cute
Little jars of golden honey tied with a ribbon? Absolute win. You can personalize them with your initials or wedding date.
