Wedding Favors Don't Have To Be Expensive

By Kathy Forcey


If you can tap into the secret of affordable wedding favors, you will not only go easy on your budget, but also enjoy it tremendously. A sure way to present affordable wedding favors is to put your creative juices to work and create them yourself. Any hand made article is highly valued and conveys a message of gratitude and importance to your guests.

When affordable wedding favors come to mind, people have the tendency to think being affordable means you aim to make use of some sort of cheap favor in order to meet the requirements of a "proper" wedding. This can not be further from the truth, just about anyone will agree that a simple but affordable favor can be more elegant than the "cheap" $9.99 wedding favor that fits your wedding theme and other decor items.

Apart from the originality hand made favors portray, you will be able to save a reasonable amount of money as well. A modern, stylish example of an affordable wedding favor is a compact disc loaded with the wedding couple's favorite songs, presented in a cover with an interesting collection of pictures of the couple with the wedding date and their names included.

Regrettably, we all are not equal when it relates to creative skills in order to make hand made favors for your wedding. Fortunately, there are many ways to kill this uncreative cat preventing you from finding affordable wedding favors.

Candy is a good choice for affordable wedding favors, seeing that all ages always enjoy candy and it is quite easy on the pocket. Apart from chocolate favors, peppermint candies are always popular as well, much appreciated after the wedding dinner and even more cost effective than chocolate. You can dress up the peppermints in a tiny drawstring candy bag made out of shimmering material or for a more affordable alternative, you can wrap the candy in colored cellophane tied with a ribbon on top.

One affordable wedding favor we all are familiar with due to its traditional use is sugar-coated almonds. Today you can move a way from the tradition of pink and white almond candies and incorporate a more modern version of this time-honored wedding favor by making use of blue, ivory, yellow, light apple green or lilac colored almonds.

You would want to keep in mind before you make your choice, that wedding favors are a souvenir of your special day. An unforgettable wedding depends on much more than the affordable wedding favors you present to wedding guests. Keep in mind how you would want to distribute your wedding favors. Will you make use of ushers or will it be placed on the tables at the reception.
