You’re getting married. It’s going to be one of the biggest days of your life, but if you’re not too careful the price for it can run a little steep. Sometimes you forget you have to pay the caterers, the wedding planner, put down money for the location, and if you’re over ambitious, the horses that everyone is going to be riding down the aisle on. When you finally get these things under control, you mustn’t forget the guests! Some of them are taking time out from their busy lives to celebrate your happiness, and now you can’t forget them. However, if you don’t want to break the bank buying something like elaborate crystallized versions of the bride and groom’s faces, here is some advice and ideas for cheap wedding favors.
The most important thing when deciding on cheap wedding favors is ultimately how they are going to be presented. Traditional weddings call for cheap wedding favors that are decorated in traditional colors (whites and pastels), autumn theme weddings call for cheap wedding favors that are decorated in fall theme colors (earthy browns and oranges), and for any other theme, your cheap wedding favors have to correspond with them. It sounds obscure to have your wedding all set out in whites and pinks, and then waiting for your guests at their table are boxes painted in bright fuchsia and lime green. Packaging for cheap wedding favors can be fairly simple: small tins, decorated boxes, ribbons, or soft material depending on what’s inside. Whatever you decide to do remember to buy your cheap wedding favors in bulk or wholesale online or at specialty stores.
Some of the best cheap wedding favors are edible. Your guests will be appreciative rather than unenthusiastic about having something else to stow away in their basements. The perfect cheap wedding favor that adds a little personalized touch are home baked cookies. If you stumble across a recipe, or have an aunt or grandmother with a delicious recipe, you can provide your guests with these and complement them with the recipe if so desired. Depending on the recipe, the cost of the ingredients can be relatively cheap, and easily packaged in small tins or fabric material. If you are not up to the struggle of baking, cookies are always replaceable with candy. There are an assortment of candy appropriate for a cheap wedding favor: Hershey kisses, M&Ms, dinner mints, and if you are more adventurous, you can have personalized chocolate candies.
Of course, there are memorable, cheap wedding favors that aren’t edible and still prove to be useful. Scented candles in tins make a great gift. Cheap personalized wine glasses or mugs leave a lasting impression too. Bubble bottles are a common cheap wedding favor that can be used at home and at the wedding itself. All of these cheap wedding favor ideas are useful and show just how much you appreciate your guests.
Cheap wedding favors are a great way to show your guests how much you care without the need to overspend. Depending on how far that you want to go with your ideas, your cheap wedding favors can be personalized, homemade or store bought. When your happy day arrives, you can feel proud that you have everything that you wanted in your wedding and everything that you need for your guests without having to dig too deep into your pocket.
