This one's a bit of a dilemna. How much can you get away with spending on wedding favours when you're on a budget?
You Don't want to look cheap but there are already enough things to pay for. Well, hopefully this article will give you some ideas.
With all of the many things to consider and purchase as you are planning a wedding ceremony and reception, cheap wedding favors are very appealing. Many brides are a little apprehensive about going thrifty with this particular detail in the event. However, if you are a little creative you can provide wonderfully cheap wedding favors that seem as if they cost a fortune.
How Cheap?
The first thing you want to do is consider your budget. There are cheap wedding favors then there are ridiculously inexpensive favors. I once attended a reception that used two Hershey Kisses in plastic wrap for each guest’s favor. Now that is obviously cheap. We really want to avoid this kind of tacky presentation.
This is not to suggest that the Hershey Kiss idea is bad in itself. The presentation just needed some work. There is a significant difference between working within a tight budget and completely disregarding the guests. Even cheap wedding favors can show that you appreciate your company if they are presented the right way.
Weding Theme
One approach thrifty brides can take is to avoid the whole wedding theme in their presentation. Many vendors sell similar items at a fraction of the cost. Once a favor is associated with a reception party, it seems to automatically go up in price. Some great ideas for cheap wedding favors that won’t be found in the bridal supply section can help get you inspired.
Candles
Candles are all the rage these days. There is a romantic appeal to these if they are used at a reception as gifts for guests. You can make cheap wedding favors by buying votive candles in bulk. Just wrap each with some tulle and tie off with a ribbon. Of course, you want to choose colors that go with your bridal attire for these cheap wedding favors.
Frames are wonderful for this kind of project as well. Since frames come in all different styles, shapes and sizes you really have a lot of room for creativity. The great thing about these cheap wedding favors is they can serve two purposes. They can also be used as place settings as well.
While you may be tempted to personalize your items I can guarantee you that you will probably pay more for this additional detail. However, you can still find cheap wedding favors that are personalized if you search hard enough.
The Internet is a great place to start. Many sites offer wholesale items that can be personalized. Whether you want to add the personalization or not, you can find some great bargains. There are a lot of cheap wedding favors out there. All you have to do is look.
