Cheap Wedding Favors!

By Johny Borubony

The budget for a wedding favors often depends entirely on how much money you plan to spend on your wedding. Obviously if you are only having a small wedding then you may feel inclined to spend a little more on the wedding favors. For those that still want to have a large number of guests but have limited finances then there are many cheap wedding favor options available.

If you are still thinking about what you could use for a cheap wedding favor perhaps you should consider candles. You might even consider purchasing personalized ribbons to tie pretty bows around the candles. There are many companies that can arrange for this to be done with the bride and grooms name and other wedding details on a reel to reduce the cost. A simple taper candle tied with your personalized ribbon can be placed at each place setting to create a really inexpensive wedding favor.

If that doesn't appeal to you then why not try everyone's favorite, candy, as everyone is happy with this an won't think for a moment that is a cheap wedding favor alternative. Small tins or cartons can also be bought wholesale in addition to the candy so each guest can have his or her own small portion. You could also use candy bars with personalized packaging which could be supplied at a reasonable cost. You can easily expand upon this idea, without costing too much more by adding special wrappers especially for the wedding. Usually things like details of the big day and an image of the bride and groom are all that is needed but it is very effective. The design does not have to be complicated and by having the same wrapper, the cost will be brought down further ensuring the bride and groom provide a cheap but effective wedding favor.

If you would prefer to give something a little more practical but still within your budget then why not give the guests plant seeds in a box. Just to make this a little more exclusive, the seeds can easily be placed in a small container or pot that is just big enough to fit them in. As the pot is only a symbolic gesture, it can be very small; in fact just large enough to carry the seed. This is important because small pots can be purchased rather inexpensively while larger pots will be significantly more expensive.

I always like the practical ideas that also look personal and a pen fits the bill exactly especially as you can have your details on them. Matching the pens with some personalized stationery creates a useful wedding favor that may be used for some time. Although this may be a cheap wedding favor, it will not appear that way to the guests who will be able to send correspondence to the married couple after the reception. To finish this idea off, why not supply each guest with an addressed and stamped envelope, I'm sure each guest would take the suggestion much more seriously if you did.
