Wedding Photo Magnets: The Complete Guide to Favours, Table Settings & Keepsakes

Wedding favours are one of the most discussed — and most often underdelivered — details of any wedding. Chocolates get eaten. Candles go unlit. Printed keepsakes collect dust. But a custom photo magnet from your wedding? That goes straight onto the fridge and stays there for years.

More and more Australian couples are choosing personalised photo magnets as their wedding favour of choice. Here's everything you need to know to do it well.

Why Photo Magnets Work as Wedding Favours

The best wedding favour is one that serves a purpose. A photo magnet is:

• Displayed every day — guests see it every time they open the fridge
• Genuinely personal — your couple photo, your wedding date, your moment
• Light and compact — easy to place at table settings or pack in a gift bag
• Universally kept — nobody throws away a magnet with someone's face on it
• Affordable at scale — cost-effective even for large guest lists

How to Use Photo Magnets at Your Wedding

Table Setting Favours

The most popular approach: one magnet per place setting (or one per couple). Place it on the plate, leaning against the glass, or inside a small envelope with a handwritten thank-you. For a polished look, keep the photo consistent across all tables — a favourite engagement photo or professional couple portrait works beautifully.

Favour Table or Wishing Tree

Set up a dedicated favour station near the entrance or exit. Guests pick up their magnet as they arrive or leave. Works especially well with a mix of 2–3 different photos — guests get to choose their favourite.

Bonbonniere Inserts

Tuck a magnet inside a bonbonniere box alongside chocolates, macarons, or other treats. The magnet becomes the lasting keepsake while the treats are enjoyed on the night. A beautiful combination that elevates even simple bonbonniere.

Bridal Party Gifts

Give your bridal party a set of personalised photo magnets — perhaps from the engagement shoot, the hen's/bucks night, or a favourite moment together. A thoughtful, personal gift they'll actually use.

Choosing the Right Photo

Your engagement photos are usually the best starting point — they're professionally lit, well-composed, and captured at a meaningful time. For a 2×2 inch magnet, close-up portraits print most strikingly. A full-body landscape shot loses detail at small scale.

Use a high-resolution file of at least 1200×1200 pixels. If your photographer delivers full-resolution files, those are ideal. Avoid social media downloads which are often compressed.

Timing Your Wedding Magnet Order

Order at least 2–3 weeks before your wedding. This gives you time to receive the order, check the quality, and reorder if needed. For very large quantities (100+ magnets), allow 4 weeks and contact us directly to discuss your requirements.

Express delivery is available if you're cutting it close.
