Custom Photo Magnets as Wedding Favours: The Complete Australian Guide

Wedding favours are one of the most overlooked parts of wedding planning — and also one of the most memorable. Guests take them home, they end up on fridges and bulletin boards, and years later they're still a talking point. Custom photo magnets have become one of Australia's most popular wedding favour choices for exactly this reason.

Why Photo Magnets Make Perfect Wedding Favours

Unlike chocolates, candles, or mini wine bottles, personalised photo magnets are kept and displayed. Every time a guest opens their fridge, they'll see your wedding photo. That's the kind of lasting impression most wedding favours never achieve.

They're also:

• Affordable at scale — A single magnet starts from just a few dollars, making them viable even for large guest lists.
• Easy to personalise — Use your engagement shoot, a favourite couple portrait, or your ceremony moment.
• Light and compact — Easy to pack, transport, and place at table settings.
• Universally loved — Guests from 8 to 80 appreciate a well-made photo memento.

How to Use Photo Magnets as Wedding Favours

There are a few popular approaches Aussie couples take:

Place Setting Magnets

Order one magnet per guest (or one per couple) and place them at each table setting. Pair with a small thank-you card for a personal touch.

Wishing Tree or Favour Table

Stack or display your magnets at a dedicated favour table. Guests take one on their way out — a lovely exit experience.

Bonbonniere Boxes

Include a set of 2–4 magnets in a small bonbonniere box alongside other treats. A magnet plus a few truffles is an elegant, premium-feeling favour.

What Photo Works Best for Wedding Magnets?

For the sharpest result, use a high-resolution image of at least 1200×1200 pixels. Engagement photos typically work beautifully — they're professionally lit and composed for exactly the kind of close-up framing that looks stunning on a 2×2 inch magnet.

Some couples use their favourite professional portrait. Others choose a candid shot from the day itself.

How Far in Advance Should You Order?

We recommend ordering at least two weeks before your wedding. Snapstic typically ships within a few business days, but leaving buffer time lets you check the result and reorder if needed. For bulk orders, get in touch with us directly.
