Of course the size of your wedding will dictate just how much you are able to spend on your wedding favors. If you plan on having only a handful of guests you may decide to spend to be generous with your wedding favors. However, if you are having a large number of guests on a limited budget you should consider searching for cheap wedding favor ideas.
One of the simplest of ideas for cheap wedding favors is candles. If you are still unsure about this idea then why not buy some ribbon that has details of the wedding on it and then tie pieces to the candles. This may just seem like more cost but you will be surprised how inexpensive it can be. This is a cheap wedding favor that can look like an expensive one if the presentation is carried out correctly.
Using candy is an alternative that while inexpensive can really make an impression and does not look like a cheap wedding favor. 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. People like things that are personalized and there is no reason why candy bars cannot have this done to them for a wedding. You can easily expand upon this idea, without costing too much more by adding special wrappers especially for the wedding. The candy wrappers only need to have your wedding details on them but a nice touch is to have a picture of the happy couple. 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. There is no reason why you cannot expand upon this and buy some small pots to put the seeds in. A small pot is all that is required to hold the seeds in as the pots are to be used as a gesture only and will not be large enough to plant the seed. This is important because small pots can be purchased rather inexpensively while larger pots will be significantly more expensive.
Another practical but appealing idea is to present each guest with a pen which can give the appearance of a more expensive wedding favor than it really is, especially if it has the bride and grooms wedding details printed on it. Pens do not cost a great deal and can also be paired with personalized stationery for a really practical gift. This is such a great idea for a wedding favor because plus by including note encouraging the guest to stay in touch you are letting them know you truly value their friendship. By placing an addressed envelope for every guest on the table with the stationery, there is a greater chance that the bride and groom will actually receive thoughts on how the day went.
