Chilli Wedding Favours: Handcrafted & Personalised
Your wedding day should be remembered. So should the favours. Give your guests handcrafted hot sauces, artisan spice rubs or chilli seed packets with your names, your date and your message to guests on every label. The kind of favour that ends up on the dinner table, not in a drawer.
Your Favours, Your Way
It starts with a free 30-minute consultation where we get to know a little about you, your big day and your favourite flavours. Then you’ll receive a Bespoke Taster Box for a small fee (£20, credited against your order if you go ahead) to try everything at home before you commit.
The earlier you get in touch, the more options you’ll have: we recommend at least 12 weeks before your date. Some ingredients and seeds are seasonal, so early enquiries get the widest choice. You’ve got enough on your plate with wedding planning, so we’ll keep our side of things simple.

The Core Chilli Wedding Favour Collection
Here are our most popular favourites to get you started. More options (including fully custom recipes) are available at your consultation.
Signature Chilli Wedding Favour Hot Sauces (50ml Glass Bottles)
Each bottle carries your names, your wedding date, a wedding-themed sauce name and your unique story. These are four of our most popular picks, but they’re not your only options. We have a wider range to choose from and if nothing quite fits, we can work with you to create a custom sauce that’s entirely yours:
- A Perfect Match (Nyami): Vibrant and balanced. Crowd-friendly heat with depth.
- Thai-ing The Knot (Sweet Thai Chilli): Sweet, summer-inspired heat. The one your Nan will love too.
- Stung By Love (The Sting): Bold and tangy, for the guests who like a kick.
- Love At First Bite (One Punch Knockout): The legendary Hainan Yellow Lantern hot sauce. For the brave ones at your table.
Artisan Chilli Wedding Favour Spice Mixes (50g Silver Tins)
Premium blends in recyclable silver tins with your custom labels. These three are our most requested, but we have more in our range and we can create a bespoke blend to suit your tastes:
- Nyami Salt: Himalayan Salt, Piri-Piri Chillies, White Wine Vinegar, Turmeric, and Garlic.
- Braai Spice: A smoky, South African-inspired rub.
- Killer Cajun Seasoning: Punchy, traditional, makes anything sizzle.
“Let Love Grow” Chilli Wedding Favour Seeds
Seed packet favours in your custom envelopes. A living reminder of your day that your guests can grow at home. These three are popular starting points, but we grow a wide range of varieties and can match a seed to your preference:
- CC Jalapeño: The classic crowd-pleaser. Easy to grow, versatile in the kitchen.
- CC Piri Piri: A beautiful plant with a serious kick.
- CC Golden Nugget: Ornamental and stunning. Looks great on a windowsill.
Truly Personalised for Your Big Day
Every label tells your story. Your names, your date, your colours, your words. Here’s what you can make yours:
- “Our Story” Customisation: Every 50ml bottle has space for your journey together, from the first date to “I Do”.
- The “Blended” Date: Your wedding date on every label.
- Colour Matching: Your wedding colours, your stationery motifs, matched to the labels for a seamless table setting.
- Spicy Messaging: Pick from these, or we can help you to write your own:
- “Thanks for making our day jalapeño business!”
- “You added the extra hot to our happily ever after!”
- “You made our day sizzle – thank you!”
- “Thanks for spicing up our special day.”
Meet the Makers: Shaun & Caroline
Your favours are made by two people, not a factory. We’ve been growing chillies and making sauces since 2006. What started as a hobby became a 200,000-subscriber YouTube channel and a professional food brand operating as Stay Spicy Ltd from our farm in Lincolnshire.
We’re a married couple ourselves, so we know your day is about the details. The same recipes and standards behind our 5-star retail sauces go into every wedding favour. Nothing is outsourced. Every bottle and tin is blended, filled and labelled by us, here in Lincolnshire, for you.
We had our braai spice as guest favours at our wedding. It meant that our guests had a sentimental reminder of all the parties we’d shared with them over the years. We do love a braai!
The Bespoke Experience: Your Vision, Our Vault
The collection above is where most couples start, but your consultation opens up the full picture. Our recipe library includes over 20 sauces, ferments and spice blends developed across two decades, plus our full seed catalogue of chilli varieties from around the world. If nothing in the existing range is quite right, we’ll develop something new with you: a custom sauce, a bespoke spice blend or a specific seed variety that means something to you as a couple.
Planning a summer garden party? You might want a mild, fruity ferment. An autumn barn wedding? A smoky chipotle blend. Got a story about a holiday where you discovered a particular chilli? We can build your favour around it. Your flavours should match your story and the label design will be matched to your colour scheme, stationery and table settings.
Why ChilliChump? Quality You Can Trust
Your favours should taste as good as they look. Here’s what you’re getting:
- The real thing: professional growers and sauce makers with more than 20 years in the global chilli community behind every bottle and tin on your table.
- Retail-grade quality: your guests receive exactly the same product sold in our shop, with your personalised labels. No shortcuts, no separate “wedding” recipe.
- Exceptional ingredients: Himalayan Salt, Piri-Piri chillies, rare varieties like the Hainan Yellow Lantern. Your guests deserve the best on your big day.
Try Before You Commit: The Bespoke Taster Box
Your wedding, your flavours, your call. After your consultation, you’ll receive a taster box curated to your preferences so you can try the exact sauces, spices or seeds your guests will get. Taste them at home, share them with your wedding party and decide together. The taster box costs £20, which is deducted in full from your order if you go ahead.
Technical Specifications for Planners
We know pricing matters when you’re planning a wedding, so here’s a clear picture of how it works.
Every order starts with a Design & Consultation fee of £125, which covers up to 3 hours of our time: your consultation call, recipe selection, label design and proofing. If your project needs more time (most don’t), additional hours are £40 each.
Per-Favour Pricing
- 50ml Hot Sauce Bottles: from £4.25 each
- 50g Artisan Spice Tins: from £3.50 each

Exact pricing depends on the products you choose, seasonality of ingredients and order size. Discounts are available for larger orders, we’ll cover all of this at your consultation.
Example Packages for 100 Guests
To give you a ballpark, here’s what 100 favours would look like at base pricing, including the £125 Design & Consultation fee:

Wedding Favour FAQs
How many chilli wedding favours do I need to order?
That’s entirely up to you. Most couples order one favour per guest, but some choose one per couple or per table. There’s no rigid minimum: we’ll work with your numbers.
How far in advance should I order wedding favours?
At least 12 weeks before your wedding date is ideal. That gives time for your consultation, taster box, any recipe tweaks, proof approval and production. Shorter timescales are sometimes possible, but your choice of flavours and customisation may be more limited: some ingredients and seeds are seasonal, so earlier is always better. We know how hectic wedding planning gets. We’ll always work with you to keep things straightforward and stress-free.
Are hot sauce wedding favours suitable for all guests?
Yes. The range spans mild to super-hot, so there’s a flavour for everyone at your wedding. During the consultation you’ll choose options that suit your guest list. All allergens and ingredients are clearly labelled.
Can I mix different flavours in my order?
Absolutely. Many couples order two or three different sauces and let guests choose, or mix sauces with spice tins and seed packets for variety across the tables. It’s your wedding, your choice.
What’s in the Bespoke Taster Box and how much does it cost?
The taster box costs £20 and contains a selection of products curated to your preferences after the consultation. It’s yours to keep either way, but if you place an order the full £20 is deducted from your total. Think of it as a deposit that buys you and your partner a proper tasting experience rather than guesswork.
What does the consultation involve?
A relaxed chat (video call or phone) where you tell us about your tastes, your wedding theme and your vision for the labels. It’s about you and your day. After the call, you’ll receive your Bespoke Taster Box (£20) to try everything at home before you finalise your order. If you go ahead, the £20 is deducted from your total.
How much do chilli wedding favours cost?
See our pricing guide above for a full breakdown. Your consultation quote will cover everything based on your choices. The £20 Bespoke Taster Box fee is deducted from your order total if you go ahead, so you’re not paying extra to sample.
