How To Create Cheap Wedding Favors

How to create cheap wedding favors is all about managing your budget, whether it is $10 or $100 for all of your favors.

Start by working out how many favors you will need, and by that I don't mean how many guests you have. Traditionally it was only the women who received a favor, so this is a great way to save money without it looking as if you have forgotten anyone!

Now divide your budget by the number of favors you will need, and you will have how much you can spend on each favor.

Making your own wedding favors is not just about making everything from scratch, it is also about finding the right parts to make a great wedding favor for not much!

How to create cheap wedding favors for under $1;

If you have about a $1 to spend on each favor then you could expand the above ideas and have more fancy packaging. Favor boxes do look lovely but they add to your overall cost. Cellophane bags or paper cones work just as well, as do paper envelopes for the seed favors.

Use your own craft skills to create pretty favors, but start early! A mini cross-stitch thank you will look beautiful, a hand painted mini water color will also be something that will be kept forever. It is all about using what you are good at and turning it into a thank you for your guests.

If you can get a lot of you together then this will cut down the time you will need to spend on making the favors. Also if you can learn together how to create cheap wedding favors it is much more fun!

If you are more green-fingered than crafty you could grow your own flowering plants from seed. A little mini potplant on your wedding reception tables would also be the table centerpiece as well as the favor. That's even more of a saving!

Favors are no longer just the little boxes at the table, one really big trend at the moment is to have a candy bar, or a candy wedding buffet. This is a table that has a lot of candy! You could use nearly your whole favor budget on buying some amazing candy. You could have your favorites or ones that match your colors. Display the buffet in glass jars or bowls - whatever you can borrow from friends and faily will do and make up some signs with what everything is. You will also need some small scoops and little paper bags for your guests to take away their favorites.
