Cheap Wedding Favors...

By Johny Borubony

Modern weddings can cost a fortune as there seems to be more things to cater for nowadays and the choice of wedding favors just keeps growing so this is an area that needs to be chosen carefully. The larger the wedding will be the more likely you will be inclined to look for a cheap wedding favors option. The real problem arises when the bride and groom have decided on a large number of guests but do not have the budget to match this so they are stuck with cheap wedding favor alternatives.

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.

One little used wedding favor option is to supply the guests with plant or vegetable seeds neatly presented with a ribbon tied around them. Using pots to place the seeds in could be another way to present them that doesn't cost too much. As the pot is only a symbolic gesture, it can be very small; in fact just large enough to carry the seed. This method will also reduce the amount you have to spend on the pots themselves while providing an effective wedding favor display.

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. Marketing and promotional gift companies can supply this type of cheap wedding favor gift easily so there shouldn't be any problem even if they are not ordered until a few weeks before the wedding. The stationery can be used for the guests to stay in touch with the bride and groom and to let them know what type of day hey had. You may also want to consider supplying every wedding guest with a stamped and self addressed envelope so they can send you their thoughts on the wedding day. - 31991
