If you are in the process of planning a wedding, then one of the smartest ways to cut your budget is to go for cheap wedding favors. It is hard to find a discount on a wedding cake or gown, but when it comes to choosing favors for a wedding, quality does not have to be spared for a low price. You can get great reception results just by being thinking slowly out of the box.
Your plain, everyday shot glass is a great bet on a cheap wedding favor. Shot glasses are often regarded as mementos because they often come from restaurants or souvenir shops. Your guests will associate a shot glass with a memory of a great wedding. Giving shot glasses is a great way to say thanks as well as send everyone home with something nice that they will cherish. It is also easy and elegant to have them associated with a personalized message like "October 23, 2010" or "Bob and Susie Watkins." Another alternative to shot glass favors is personalized match wedding favors. Both make great mementos for a low price.
Save money by giving out fresh flower cuts at your wedding. Not only can they beautify your reception tables, but giving a small bouquet of daffodils or daisies will make a great eating atmosphere for the party. Typically used in spring weddings, fresh flowers represent the rejuvenation of nature after a long winter. Festive, beautiful, and affordable, flower wedding favors can be placed in anything from an old jar to a crystal vase.
For a great do-it-yourself idea, purchase ribbon from a sewing store or a place that carries sewing materials. Ribbon is versatile and inexpensive, making it the perfect wedding favor. Ribbon can be tied on wine glasses, napkin rings, candles, or to bundle certainible tricks. It is important to choose a color that matches the rest of your wedding, as you would not want to deter from your theme.
Tip : To curl ribbon, run a single scissor (or pocketknife) blade down the ribbon's stretched edge.
One way to get wedding favors for cheap is to order them in bulk. It almost always works out cheaper if you buy a lot of something. Favors like bottle stoppers, playing cards, wedding box favors, cake toppers, Jordan almonds, candy jars, toasting flutes, and candles are all small items that you may consider buying in bulk if your wedding party will be 75 people or more.
Thinking that baking your own home goodies might save you a little dough? You're right. One great recipe for a cheap wedding favor is chocolate covered pretzels. Using your favorite brand of pretzels, throw them in a melting pot of chocolate. Remove after a few seconds, and place on a baking sheet with wax paper. Stick them in the freezer, and you are good to go for a whole week before the wedding! For an economic way to wrap them, use plastic wrap and tie with a curly ribbon. For a quick and productive way to spruce up the tables, throw glitter and confetti around the pretzels.
