If the price tag on your wedding seems to be skyrocketing and you want to find a way to cut costs-consider making your own wedding favors. With some creativity and craftsmanship, you will impress your wedding guests by giving favors that reflect your personality and style. Make your event memorable by incorporating personalized party favors such as mini glass candy jars which are sure to make a lasting impression. Furthermore, making your own wedding favors can save you money that can then be spent on flowers, food or your honeymoon.
The tradition of having the Bride and Groom take part in designing wedding favors has become increasingly popular. Creating your own favors to complement your individual tastes or interests is a unique way to personally thank guests for sharing your special day. With beautiful favor boxes, ribbons and labels such as a decorative wedding gift tag, custom designer label, dainty square favor boxes or personalized satin ribbon, your wedding favor is sure to make a lasting impression. Do-it-yourself wedding favors also give you the opportunity to present a party favor that showcases a hobby or special interest.
Before you begin, think about what you would like to communicate through your wedding favors. The following are some questions that might give you some ideas:
1. What is a quality or characteristic that defines you, the Bride and Groom?
2. What is your favorite hobby or past time?
3. How did you meet?
4. What is an activity that you and your fiancé enjoy doing together?
5. What is the mood of your reception: formal dinner, casual party, or family get-together?
6. Does your reception have a theme?
7. Will your wedding take place during a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving? Does the season play a role?
Once you have decided on a message, the next step is to design a favor that will convey your ideas. If your wedding has a special theme, you can make your favor to fit the theme such as presenting heart shaped candy tins for a Valentine's theme, or take out boxes for an Asian-inspired theme or bird's nests for a spring wedding. Whatever you choose, the fact that it was hand-crafted by you with your guests in mind will guarantee success. It is wise to make the favor as simple as possible, so it's easy to assemble. This is especially important for large weddings.
The final step is to shop for the components-craft stores are a great place to find innovative, creative ideas. Online shops often offer great discount wedding favor products based on large purchases. Once you have all the pieces, you will be ready to transform your ideas into fabulous, DIY wedding favors.
Here are some ideas for inexpensive wedding favors:
* Candy tins with traditional candy like Jordan almonds, chocolate kisses or mints along with a thank you tag, ribbon or sticker of your wedding date
* Favor boxes filled with goodies like homemade cookies
* Jordan almonds packaged in organza bags
* Mini favor pails filled with nuts and tied with personalized ribbons stamped with your wedding date
* Personalized CD's of the happy couple's favorite songs
* Mini travel candles personalized with a mini oval label
In addition to purchasing discount wedding favors, you can also make your own wedding place cards as an easy way to show your guests that special care was taken in planning their seating arrangements and this will surely add to the elegance of your special occasion.
So, if you want wedding favors that are truly unique, take the time to develop your ideas and make your own! You'll save money, and most importantly, the personal touch will show your guests that you took the extra time and effort to personally thank them for being a part of your special day.
--------
You can save a lot of your money if you do your wedding favors by yourself. Aside from the personal touch you can contribute by making your own wedding favors, it's also fun. Both of you can also have a quality time by doing your wedding favors.

Cheap Wedding Favors
By Yours Truly
Weddings are a time of cheer, joy, romance, hope... and oh yes, before we forget, hefty expenses. Just about everything that a bride to be sets her hearts on for her big day will come with a high price tag. If you're on a limited budget, scrimping on your dress or the food might not seem very appealing. In a situation like this, it makes more sense to scout around for inexpensive wedding favors.
Fortunately, cheap wedding favors don't have to mean unattractive gifts that don't appeal. With a little imagination and some serious hunting, you can find favors that will make an impression without making a dent in your wallet.
Here are 10 great picks for cheap wedding favor ideas:
1. Pick out little mini baskets from thrift stores. Fill these with candy, and insert a little silk flower or mini trinket for a touch of glam. Wrap with a tulle bow.
2. Stainless steel mint tins in circular or heart shapes can also be used to contain candies and nuts. For an extra special touch, write a trivia question related to you or the groom and paste them on the outside of each fold up box. Put in a slip of paper with the answer inside and watch as guests join in the excitement of your own personal wedding trivia!
3. Choose from a variety of little bags on line - beach bags, silver, white, and blue mesh bags and fill these with Jordan almonds. Or try personalized candy; many companies offer these at affordable pieces. Remember to tag each bag with a printed tag that has your names, the date and a "Thank You" lettered out in a beautiful font.
4. Candles are eternal in their appeal, and are available in enough price ranges to ensure that you find frosted or votive candles that are within your budget.
5. Key chain wedding favors may seem a little done to death, but can be personalized with your names to create a cheap wedding favor that's affordable and pretty. If you're having a themed wedding, choose key chains that blend with the mood. For instance flip flop key chains set the mood for a summer or beach wedding.
6. Give a gift that will keep growing. A little potted plant is inexpensive and can easily be brought in bulk at a nursery near you. Don't forget to include the name of the plant and instructions for its care.
7. Seed packet wedding favors are always popular, symbolizing as they do new beginnings and fresh starts. You can easily make these by purchasing mini pails in bulk, and filling each with a little paper seed sachet or pieces of fabric that can be used to hold the seeds.
8. Cookies are easy to bake and cheap to order if you get a bulk of them made. Personalize them, and decorate with candy or sprinkles for a truly delicious wedding favor.
9. Simple chocolate hearts or squares can be packaged in a square of gold gauze and tied with a ribbon. Remember, the most inexpensive favors always look pricey when packaged right. Appearance is everything.
10. Finally, go online and hunt for affordable wedding favors that are simple, yet pretty. With a variety to choose from you'll have no problem finding something that speaks to you, without burning a hole in your pocket.
--------
Wow! Lots of choices! You can now make your own wedding favors. Pick wedding favors that is close to you or describes you and your loved one, it would definitely make your wedding more meaningful.

9 Cheap Wedding Favor Ideas to DIY For Your Wedding
by Angela Tay
There are many types of wedding favors you can easily purchase for your guests. But some couples prefer preparing for their own wedding favors for a more personalised touch as it also signifies gratitude to their guests for attending one of the biggest events of their life.
I have compiled some DIY wedding favor ideas you can use if you are on a tight budget!
1) Bake cookies and personalise your message on your cookie. You can even make it a fortune cookie (with words of wisdom or a set of numbers for the lottery fanatic)
2) Buy sweets or candy in bigger lots and repackage them into smaller sachets or boxes. You can customise your box with your own message by using sticker labels.
3) Get bags of potpourri and make smaller scented bags out of them. You can get ready made sachets or buy nice fabric to make your own. Tie the sachets up with lovely ribbons or lace.
4) Make creative coasters by cutting fancy shapes out of corkboard or buying die-cut ones and customising them with your own message stickers.
5) For an oriental twist, you can buy wholesale lots of wooden chopsticks (real ones, not disposable ones!) and repackage them nicely in pairs. These are quite practical and it symbolises well for the wedding as chopsticks always comes in pairs, just like every couple!
6) For summer weddings, hand-held fans are a pretty favor to give. You can personalise them with your own message and the guests can take them home after the event.
7) Gardening lovers will like the idea of receiving little sachets of seeds that they can try growing. I think my mum will be one of them. Haha.
8) If you have a Polaroid camera, you can take instant pictures with your guests on the actual day, punch a hole immediately and tie a ribbon on top to make a really unique bookmark!
9) Personalised fridge magnets are also a practical favor idea. You can print them yourself or get a professional printer to do it for you. You can choose lovely scenic pictures or cute pet images or even your own wedding portrait and put your own message on it.
These DIY wedding favor ideas could probably save you a bit of money. But if you are a really lazy bride, or you absolutely have no time to DIY your own wedding favour, its best to leave it to the professionals. A wedding favor does not need to be really expensive, it's most often the thought that counts. In my opinion, the best favor is something that will leave your guests sweet memories of the wedding and is practical enough to be used even after the wedding itself.

Cheap Homemade Wedding Favor Ideas
By Holly White
Table setting
The average wedding costs a total of $20,000 from start to finish. While this day is certainly special, there are ways to reduce the expenses and alleviate the financial burden. One of the options is to make homemade wedding favors instead of purchasing pre-made favors.
Candy, Cookies or Chocolates
Candy, cookies and chocolates are wedding favor classics. Candies such as "M&Ms", or "Hershey's Kisses" can be purchased in bulk at most wholesale stores. For cookies and chocolates, consider using a special family recipe and explaining the significance of this favor on the packaging.
Popcorn Balls
Both thrifty and creative, popcorn balls offer a delicious snack for guests. Recipes for popcorn balls can be found at websites such as Better Homes and Gardens, and can be customized to fit the occasion. Consider using food coloring to match the balls to the wedding colors, or press the hot popcorn mixture into mini cake molds to form shapes such as hearts, flowers or butterflies.
Birdseed gifts
Birdseed feeders are a useful and creative present. For these charms, mix 1 cup of birdseed with two frothy-beaten egg whites and press the mixture into oven-safe molds. Use a pen to poke a hole in the tops for a ribbon, and bake at 250 for an hour. Let them cool, then thread ribbon and a custom card-stock monogram through each of the holes.
Chocolate-Dipped Spoons
Give a gift that guests can enjoy the next morning with their coffee. Chocolate-dipped spoons can be made with little effort or cost. Disposable spoons can be purchased in any color, including silver and gold. Once the spoon is dipped in melted chocolate, food coloring, sprinkles, nuts or spices can be added to personalize the appearance and flavor.
Handmade soap favors
Scented soaps can be both functional and decorative for the guests. Wrap the soap in paper decorated with the couple's monogram and a note about the scent. Finish off with a bow of raffia, twine, lace or ribbon.
Seeded Place Cards
For the environmentally conscious couple, send guests away with a gift that will last a lifetime. Construct the overall design of the place cards, and choose a distinct shape that will be glued onto each card. Using either recycled or rice paper, cut out the desired shapes for each card. Purchase a sufficient amount of flower seeds to place a small amount on each shape. For example, if using wild flower seeds, only five to eight are necessary. Utilizing a washable, clear-drying glue, lightly cover the shape cutouts and sprinkle the seeds on top. Let dry overnight, and then glue onto the place cards. Give planting instructions on the back of the cards.
Packaging
Packaging for your favors can also be affordable. Simple white boxes can be ordered online; then customize them with craft items such as ribbons or beads. Tulle, cellophane or tissue paper can be used to wrap favors.
Finally, top off these delightful packages with customized monogram cards, designed and printed from home. Card stock or scrapbook paper can add a professional touch that will have guests wondering where the favors were purchased.
--------
Wedding favors takes a lot of budget in a wedding, but you can cut your budget by doing personalized wedding favors. Just go to wedding shops and compare their prices then go for the cheaper wedding favors and choose the favors you want. Just be creative and imaginative!

Some classic favorites include our exceptional place card holders, votive candle favors and candle holders. It is amazing how easily candles strategically placed throughout a reception hall can add a hint of romance to the reception.
Appropriately placed on your reception tables, candles can create very dramatic mood lighting. Candles are also a great way to add more ambiance and flair to your reception table decorations without adding a lot of expense. You can also choose from among our candle wedding favors to provide them as gifts for your guests.
A good rule of thumb to take into consideration when using candles for wedding decorations is the fact that candles burn for different periods of time, so keep in mind how long the reception will last. For a short reception, small votive candles will work great. If you are planning a longer reception, you will probably want to consider large pillar or taper candles.

You should also know that wedding favors can be edible, seasonal, theme oriented or fun. There is sure to something to please every taste and preference at Decor24.com.
Typically, there are two ways to distribute guest wedding favors. Wedding favors can be placed at each wedding reception guest's place setting to take with them when they leave or, your party favors can be elegantly displayed on a table near the entrance to the wedding reception venue where the bride and groom will be toward the end of the reception. As guests say goodbye to the couple, they can thank each guest for coming by giving them the favor or telling them to take one when they leave.
Wedding Decoration Ideas:
Wedding decorations are always the first thing that guests notice in any wedding setting. It is only fitting that decorations have to be exciting to make it very memorable, attractive and pleasing so that it truly represents the personality of the couple being wed. While different cultures may have different rituals for their weddings, they all share the same exuberance and excitement for the happy couple.
Wedding reception decorations can be as elaborate or as simple as you want them to be. They can also vary tremendously in price from extremely inexpensive, to very costly. However, the most important thing to consider when looking for wedding reception decorations is to make sure they fit in with the theme of the wedding.

Discover Great Cheap Wedding Favors
Cheap wedding favors say thank you to your guest and I'm glad you're here (without spending a fortune). You definitely won't break the bank with cheap wedding favors though.
Here are a few ideas that can be done inexpensively:
* Small flower arrangements at each place setting could double as wedding favors and table decorations. I have bought glass containers at thrift stores for twenty-five cents. They don't have to match. If you're using artificial flowers you could use terracotta pots.
* Divinity fudge makes delicious cheap wedding favors. Wrapped up in white tulle and tied with a white ribbon it would be beautiful. Add a tag; you make yourself, with a little message like "Love is divine". Cut out the tag with scallop scissors and punch a hole for the ribbon. One warning, divinity doesn't come out well in high humidity.
* For a special deal at My Wedding Favors Enter coupon code SAVE5 to receive 5% off of your order.
* Candles made in seashells are pretty for a beach wedding or any wedding for that matter. Melt some beeswax but don't get it too hot. Pour it into the shell and add a wick. Get directions at your craft store. If you live near the sea gather shells yourself. Shells can also be bought by the bag.
* Regular candles are nice too for cheap wedding favors. Wrap in tulle and tie with ribbon. Stick a small flower in the ribbon.
* Tree seedlings, such as citrus or any kind of tree, are something everybody would love. They will always remember your wedding with this unique wedding favor idea. Wrap the plastic pot to disguise.
* Small frames for later use can also serve as place cards or to hold a message from you.
* Flower seedlings or seed packets are a nice wedding favors. Wrap in anyway that is appropriate for your wedding. Tie with ribbon, raffia or paper ribbon.
* Make wine glass markers from wire and beads. You can find instructions at the craft store. One is enough for a wedding party favor. Place in a small box and tie with ribbon.
* Sachets made from lavender. Make a small bag from lace. Sew up three sides, put the lavender in and sew up fourth side. Attach a small silk flower. Potpourris in drawstring bags made of lace or tulle are pretty. They smell nice too. You can use any kind of bag that's easy for you to make.
* Everybody loves herbs. Buy small ones and place plastic container right into a small terracotta pot. Put some moss around the top to disguise the plastic planter. Include a pretty tag with instructions for care and attach to a ribbon tied around the pot.
* A strawberry plant is another live wedding favor idea. It can be presented in the same way as an herb. Anything of this nature that is in season is appreciated.
* Candies, such as M&Ms in your wedding colors, Kisses or Hugs, mints, a wonderful piece of chocolate or any kind that you would like, look great in a cupcake liner. They come in different sizes and colors.
If there is a special theme to your wedding, use anything that would carry out that theme. For example, you could use fall wedding favors for an autumn inspired reception.
