Cheap wedding favors don't have to look cheap. You might be surprised at how inexpensive it can be to buy wedding favors for your big day. It's a good idea to look at all your options. If you've been thinking of skipping the tradition expecting it to be a huge expense, you might be surprised at options available for as little as a dollar a couple.
How many favors should you buy?
A good rule of thumb is if you are having something edible, a gift per person it typical. If the gift is something more tangible, a gift per couple is sufficient. It's a good idea to have some extras above and beyond your guest list in case you want to have a few to save for your own wedding memory box as well as for extra last minute gifts.
Types of favors:
There are many cheap wedding favors you can go with. Some people opt for homemade believing that this will save them money but the truth is, there are some bulk supplier offerings that are much cheaper than you could ever make on your own at home and the result can be very nice when you have some gifts made for you with personalization. The time saved is often worthwhile.
Looking for candle wedding favors and other resources?
Edible favors can be a nice touch. Candies or chocolates in a tiny gift box with your name and the date are an inexpensive way to give out something as a favor to guests. It also adds to the décor of the wedding banquet.
Candles
Candles are an inexpensive and classy gift. Little tea lights or wedding theme shaped candles can be bought in bulk and given with a personalized tag. This can be a very cheap wedding favor that doesn't appear cheap.
Soaps
Soaps are nice and cheap wedding favors as well that can be given out per couple either at the table or in the receiving line.
Placecard favors.
Favors can serve multiple purposes and can display the name of the guest as well as provide a gift to them.
Larger favors that are given out don't always have to be very expensive. Consider the fact that bulk pricing will save you money and that if you are giving a more substantial gift than an edible favor, you will only need to give out one per couple rather than one for each and every wedding guest.
The cost of a wedding adds up quickly. Another way to save money is when parents and close relatives ask if they can help pay for some part of your wedding, allow them to take on an expense such as the flowers, the favors, the photographer, etc. Don't necessarily let them take over the decision making for that item, though. Your wedding favor is something you'll want to choose yourself so that you find something that suits the décor, the theme and the personality of you and your future spouse. A bit of shopping around can also result in you finding the perfect and precise and cheap wedding favors you want.
