Wedding favors can be a big part of your wedding. Many people expect them at the reception. However, deciding on favors, buying or making them, and setting them out can be a hassle. They can get expensive and can be lot of work. Here are some ideas for low-cost wedding favors that won't eat up your entire budget.
Candy and Goodies
By far the most affordable wedding favors are candy or other types of goodies, like nuts. The easiest way to do these favors inexpensively is to cut small squares of tulle or lace, then set a small pile of candy or nuts in the center of the fabric. Tie the corners of the fabric together with ribbon. Customize them by using colored tulle and ribbon to match your wedding colors.
Remember, though, that your wedding guests may have allergies and other special dietary needs. It might be better to avoid nuts. Another option is to have several different types of favors at each table (some with nuts, some with chocolate and some with other types of candy) so your guests can swap with others if they so choose.
Inexpensive Items
There are many places to get inexpensive items to use as wedding favors. For instance, Oriental Trading Company and other catalog companies sell items like small candles, candy dishes, flower pots. You could even use race cars, erasers or small toys. Customize the favors to the wedding and to both the bride and groom.
Other Favors
Put seed packets at each plate. Or give your guests a small potted plant or bamboo. For musical couples, customized guitar picks would make an interesting wedding favor. Make sure the favors fit the couple and their wedding. Use the theme of the wedding to determine the best wedding favors.
