Option A: Buy ready-made favors with personalized options
This is the hassle-free choice for sure—with many online vendors offering different sanitizer scents, themed label designs, plus the chance to add your wedding details to their available labels for a personal touch.

2 – Wedding Silhouette Personalized Hand Sanitizers – from Beau-coup
3 – Exclusive Personalized Hand Sanitizers – from My Wedding Favors
4 – Metallic Foil Hand Sanitizers – from David’s Bridal
Option B: Buy sanitizers in plain bottles and attach your own labels
This is a semi-DIY approach using plain containers pre-filled with sanitizing liquid or gel. You then get to choose printable labels or hang tags online or design and print your own, and attach them to the bottles for giving.
1 – These Luau Bridal Shower Party Favors from Laughing Pandas show how to play up your chosen theme—for example, by matching tropical hand sanitizer labels with cute pineapple hang tags.
2 – In this example, Evermine provides a recipe for mixing Homemade Hand Sanitizer with Thieves Oil and a tutorial for filling the bottles. But you could buy pre-filled sanitizers instead, then stick on these pretty butterfly rectangle labels also from Evermine.
3 – These Perfectly Plain Collection Sanitizer Favors from Amazon are a friendly
15ml size. The bottle dimensions are given (2 5/8" tall x 1 1/4" wide x 3/4" deep) to guide you in choosing the right label size and shape.
4 – These Blank Hand Sanitizer Bottles from Totally Promotional come in a practical 2-oz. size, in either unscented or citrus scent. Just add your own creativity via personalized and/or themed labels.
5 – Another handy option is this Moisture Bead Sanitizer with Carabiner from 4imprint.com that comes in unscented and scented variants, and allows you to choose from 54 color combinations of the carabiner clip and the vitamin E beads inside. Then, just add your label.
6 – Similar to our pick #3 above, this Hand Sanitizer with Moisture Beads and Carabiner Clip from Garrett Specialties is a great take-along favor idea for an outdoor, beach, or travel-themed wedding. It also offers color choices for the metal clips and moisture beads, plus custom printing of the labels.
Option C: Purchase bulk containers of sanitizer and assemble the favors yourself
Feel up to try full DIY? Here’s the process:
- Purchase large bottles or jugs of hand sanitizer (see our picks below) and empty mini dispensing bottles.
- Choose customizable printable labels (like those we found below) or design and print your own.
- Finally, fill the little bottles from the bulk jug, apply the labels, and add other favor trimmings as you wish.
More work, but the cost savings just may convince you!
