Lottery ticket wedding favors are not only an affordable option, but they also add an element of excitement and anticipation. Your guests are sure to love them, especially if one turns into a big win!

There are lots of creative ways to package lottery tickets as wedding favors, and we've collected some of our favorites here to show you.

Why choose lottery ticket wedding favors?

Incorporating lottery tickets into your wedding favors is a fun, cost-effective, and memorable way to celebrate your big day. Whether your guests win big or not, they'll leave with a little extra excitement and a wonderful memory of your wedding.

Here are some reasons why adding a touch of luck to your celebration can make your wedding day even more unforgettable:

• A dash of excitement: Lottery tickets bring an element of surprise and excitement to your wedding. Your guests will be thrilled to scratch off their tickets and see if they've won a prize.
• Inexpensive and unique: Some wedding favors be costly, but lottery tickets offer an affordable yet memorable solution. They are a budget-friendly option that still feels special and unique.
• Interactive and fun: Lottery tickets can be a great conversation starter at your wedding. Guests can compare their winnings, share their excitement, and even team up to scratch off tickets together.
• Everyone can participate: Unlike some wedding favors that may not be suitable for all guests, lottery tickets are universal. No worries about food allergies or weather or not they have a green thumb to keep that plant alive.

Tips for incorporating lottery tickets at your wedding

While you could go as simple as just putting a lottery ticket at each place setting, there are numerous ways to dress them up to add flair and whimsy.

• Personalize the tickets: Consider inserting the lottery tickets into a sleeve or holder that's personalized with your names, wedding date, or a special message. This personal touch makes the favors even more memorable. (Just don't alter the tickets themselves or you'll risk negating the win value!)
• Display them creatively: Think about how you want to present the lottery tickets. You can place them at each guest's seat, include them in a favor bag, or create a dedicated display area.
• Include instructions: Not everyone may be familiar with scratch-off lottery tickets, so include simple instructions on how to play. You can print these on a small card or include them in the favor packaging.
• Include a coin: attach a new penny to each lottery card favor so your guests will have an easy time scratching off their tickets. You can even make the coins themselves a personal touch by choosing those marked with a year special to you.
• Consider themed favors: If you have a specific wedding theme, try to incorporate that into the design of the lottery ticket or the favor packaging. This adds a cohesive element to your wedding decor.
• Offer a variety of games: Depending on your budget, you can provide different types of lottery tickets, such as scratch-offs, lotto tickets, or even instant-win games. This gives guests a variety of options to choose from.
• Pair with other favors: If you'd like to offer additional wedding favors, consider pairing the lottery tickets with something else, like chocolate coins or good luck charms (potted four leaf clover plants, faux rabbit feet, etc.). This ensures everyone has a little something to take home.
• Check local regulations: Make sure to follow any legal regulations regarding the distribution of lottery tickets in your area.
