Pretty wedding favours don’t have to cost a fortune. There are many affordable favours to choose from and you can even buy in large quantities to save money. Here is some of the most reasonably-priced and high quality wedding favour ideas for your big day.
Photo frames and display cards with your guests’ faces or names on them will let everyone know where to sit. Many frames include a place for the photo so that you don’t have the additional expense of buying a separate display card. These wallet-sized frames (usually 2 inches by 3 inches in size) are not only practical but also very affordable.
Even though you are on a tight budget, there is no need to comprise the overall feature of your special day. Some couples choose traditional wedding favours as they are affordable. However, some items don’t necessarily make an impact and are often forgotten after the ceremony is over. As this is once-in-a-lifetime event that you want everyone to remember, it is worth opting for memorable items.
Sweets are popular wedding favours and come in many different shapes. A great idea for a spring wedding would be to get small nests to place the sweets in. You can also fill the nests with mini chocolate eggs to make them look full.
If your wedding is to take place in summer or autumn, a cheap option is to have a candy bar in your colour theme. You can place different jars on the table containing coloured sweets along with small envelopes for your guests to fill on their way out.
If you don’t want a candy bar, other food items such as homemade wedding chocolates, teas, and decorated biscuits are guaranteed to please your guests. You can get as creative as you like by designing your own tags or using colourful fabrics for decorating the jars and cups.
Bookmarks and key chains are not only affordable, but they will also appeal to children, men, and women. Soaps and candles are other inexpensive choices, which you can buy from your local craft shop. Make sure you pick a seasonal scent with small bags to place candle holders with the scented soaps and candles in. Some good examples of seasonal scents include pine for winter, flowers for spring, and fruit for summer.
If you are going to have a spring wedding in the garden, you can find artistic cards that are embedded with floral seeds. The added benefit of these cards is that you can customise them by adding your names and wedding date. Your guests will certainly remember these favours for a long time to come.
Bottle stoppers as favours are not just cheap, but they are also special depending on how fancy they are. These items are useful as your guests are not likely to throw them away after returning home. Heart-shaped spoons or ice cream scoops don’t cost very much and can be boxed and tied off with red ribbons. To make them extra special, you may add personalised tags for a little extra charge. The idea is to get as creative as you like without breaking the bank.
