The question most brides-to-be or couples getting married have is “How do I
make wedding favors for cheap?” Before I begin to answer this question, I want
to establish one thing. When using the word cheap, it doesn’t mean that you’re
not giving it all you have. You’ve already spent a lot of money to make this day
perfect. Therefore, here are some cheap or inexpensive ways to make wedding
favors. Save yourself a little money, you could even use it on the honeymoon!!
Here are some really cool ideas to save money and get two things done at once:
• Flower Arrangements
Make a small flower arrangement for each table setting. This can serve as both a
favor for your guest and decorations for the table. You can normally find little
glass containers at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store for pretty cheap. Add some of
your favorite flower(s) or a flower of your favorite color. You can even make it
seasonal depending on when your wedding is. Have fun! Be creative!
• Candles
I know, everybody suggests candles for wedding favors. But find your favorite
shape or scent and give each of your guests a small candle. This will make it
personal for your guest. It will tell your guest you wanted them there and make
them feel special. Use tulle and/or ribbon to make it more festive!
• Small Frames – One of my favorites!
You can find small frames and make them place card holders. Each of your guest
will have a frame to take home with them. If you don’t want to assign seating,
put a special message or quote in each frame. Your guest will have a special way
of remembering you!
• Wine Glass Markers
Make wine glass markers with some wire and beads. Then find a small box and wrap
ribbon around it. You need one for each guest. It will also be helpful to keep
each other’s wine glasses separate!
• Personalized CD of you and your fiancée’s favorite songs!
You can buy CD’s at Office Depot, Staples, Wal-Mart, etc… for cheap. Then decide
on 10 or so songs to put on there. Burn them to the CD; attach a label or write
on each one. You can buy “print-on” labels wherever you buy the CD’s. Then give
each guest one! It’s a cool personal gift.
You can pull off your big day and save some money. Don’t make it look cheap
either. Make and create your wedding favors for cheap!! You can do it!! Remember
to have fun and be creative!!!
