Affordable Options For Wedding Favors
If you are planning a wedding, you probably already know how the costs can add up quickly. From food to decorations, things add up quickly. If you want to save money on great wedding favors without spending a bundle, look for ways to incorporate your style and interests into favors that guests will love. Take a moment to think about your shared interests and passions. Is there something the two of you love to do together, or did you meet an interesting way that can be incorporated into the wedding? For instance, if the two of you met at a game, consider incorporating sports cards into the favors or if both of you settle in for Sunday afternoon pigskin games all winter, football cards might make great wedding favors.
Other ways to incorporate your favorite team into your wedding favor is with colors and logos. If you think more traditional favors would work better, but you want to pay homage to your favorite teams, consider things like candles, photo frames, or candy in the colors of your team. You can add a logo if spend a bit more.
If athletics are not what you love, there are plenty of other options. Are you and your honey art lovers? Frame a small print to share with guests. It gives them something small to display in their home that is tasteful but still reminds them of you and your wedding day. In addition to favors, the print can be used on invitations or wedding programs. If you are not art lovers but you like the idea of sharing a picture, give guests a photo of a special place or vacation destination.
Finally, you can consider using food for a favor. Even though guests will not have something a few years down the road from the wedding, they can still enjoy a treat from the big day. If you are going to give food items, select something unique and personal. Many couples just toss a few candied almonds into a bag and call it a day. If you are looking for something more creative, you have lots of choices.
Consider favorite foods you and your significant other enjoy sharing. Was your first date at a Mexican restaurant then consider making salsa and canning it for the guests to enjoy later. Are chocolates always on your Valentine’s gift list? Share these gourmet goodies with the wedding guests. If there is a special item you bake or cook that you both enjoy, you can give samples of this for guests to take home. There are small boxes and plastic bags available at craft stores and they make packaging and sharing easy. If guests leave a wedding with a special treat, they will be glad they came!
