Cheap Wedding Favors

Wedding favors serve as a “Thank you” gift, as well as a cherished keepsake for many years to come. However, wedding favors do not have to be expensive to be a wonderful gift for guests.

The following is a list of cheap wedding favor ideas:

Candles
Candles come in a variety of shapes, scents, and colors and can easily be used to compliment any wedding theme or wedding style. Along with the candles, many brides choose to give their guests personalized matchbooks or themed matchbooks and lighters.

Bubbles
Bubbles are a very popular and cheap wedding favor gift. They appeal to the young, as well as to the young at heart, and guests will truly enjoy them. Wedding favor bubbles can be found in personalized containers, themed containers such as bells or champagne bottles, or simple but elegant colored containers. Bubbles are also a good way to keep children occupied during the wedding reception.

Chocolates, candies, and mints
M&M's, Hershey's Hugs and Kisses, hard candies, and mints come in a variety of colors, foil wrappers, or tins. These sugary treats can be wrapped in tulle or lace and tied with a ribbon or presented in glass containers that can be purchased at thrift stores or craft stores.

Picture frames
Small picture frames can serve as place card holders or contain a special message from the bride and groom.

Seedlings or seed packets
Flower or tree seedlings are a unique and cheap wedding favor that your guests will enjoy for years to come. The seedlings can be wrapped in any way that is appropriate for the wedding and tied with a ribbon.

Herbs
Small herb plants can be purchased and placed inside a terracotta pot. The plastic container can then be covered with moss or artificial grass.

Flower arrangements
Small flower arrangements can be placed at each place setting to serve not only as a table decoration, but as a wedding favor. The really savings come from buying local discounted flowers, and having friends and family help arrange them in small groups in a discount container; add ribbons that match the wedding colors to finish off.

Coffee & Tea
Guests will enjoy waking up to the aroma of a fresh pot of coffee or a nice hot cup of tea the morning after the wedding reception. Individual packs of coffee or tea can be personalized with the name of the bride and groom and wedding date.

Potpourri & Scented Soaps
Potpourri or scented soaps can be wrapped in drawstring bags made from lace or tulle and then tied with a ribbon.

Whatever cheap wedding favors chosen, any can be easily purchased and personalized to the desire of the couple and save on the wedding budget.
