Hi there any idea what type of pest this is? How should I treat it?

Got this plant at a wedding as a part favour and have only had it for about 3 weeks.

Burn it with fire! It looks like aphids which are one of the easier pests to manage but my gosh that’s a lot 😳 if you decide to treat rather than bin the whole plant make sure you quarantine it away from others for a few weeks

Options for aphid treatment are  
1\) Rinse off as many as you can using water. Wipe the leaves with a cloth/tissue (and squish remainders) then apply a pesticide of your choice.  
2\) Rinse and wipe - then leave it outside for nature to fix - aphids are a tasty treat for outdoor predators
