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!

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.

Cheap. It's such a drab sounding word ... until you realize you're about to put on a ten, even twenty thousand dollar party. Suddenly, the word "cheap" takes on a whole new shine.
So, you want to follow the time-honored tradition of thanking your guests for coming — wedding favors — but you don't have a lot left over after the photographers, videographers and calligraphers? No problem. Happily enough, the cheapest wedding favor is often the best-loved: candy.
Guests love candy, because it doesn't require them to dig a hole, water anything, or find a place for another mismatched keepsake. You'll love candy, because it makes for a not-only-cheap, but interesting wedding favor. You can expand on the theme with exotic herbs (bought in bulk, of course) and still come in under budget. If you're really a guerilla shopper, the world's your oyster, but let's start with the candy.
For cost-conscious brides, the hunt for a cheap wedding favor begins with:
* Buying spices and candy in bulk.
* Buying favor boxes, bags, jars or tins online from wholesalers, or possibly Ebay.
* Buying at online or bricks & mortar clearance sales.
Cheap Bulk Spices and Candy
An insane number of cheap favors can be made from candy and spices. Not only are they inexpensive, they're also appreciated by all alike: restive children, snack-loving male guests, clutter-conscious marrieds. For cheap but chic choices, consider:
* White "conversation" hearts with personalized sayings
* Jordan almonds in fresh, new colors and foil coatings
* Glamorous, glittering rock candy on a stick
* chocolate foiled coins
* Jelly Bellies in your wedding colors
* salt water taffy (especially for beach weddings)
* candy corn, in traditional or offbeat shapes
* gummies in novel shapes and flavors (white and milk-chocolate covered gummy bears, gummy Peach O's, hearts and cola bottles, strawberries & cream or watermelon, gummy mice for Cinderella brides ...)
* Chocolate kiss "rose" bouquets
* "Concession counter" candy: Runts, Jawbreakers, french 'burnt' peanuts, Crazy Bananas
* M&Ms in your wedding's custom colors
* Retro candy from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's
Good places to buy cool candy in bulk are:
* Your local large grocery store, bulk section
* Oriental Trading Company: eclectic selection, great prices
* CandyDirect.com: cool bulk candy including 'gourmet' brands
* Candy You Ate as a Kid: retro favorites organized by decade
Don't forget that you can get dramatic by combining your candy with elegant cookies (try pearl-sugared shortbread in interesting shapes), and hand-molded chocolates.
You can also make your own gourmet popcorn balls in fascinating flavors for a cheap wedding favor. Try gourmet popcorn recipes, like Macadamia Nut, Cinnamon Red Hots, and Popcorn Caramel Apple! "Our love just keeps on poppin'..."
But what if wedding sweets just aren't your thing? Then try a sachet of spices with an accompanying poem or recipe. This is aromatic, elegant and totally romantic.
Another cute possibility? Custom tea packets. Design a tea packet featuring your names and a soft wedding image, and cover one pre-packaged bag of tea per guest.
Buying Cheap Boxes, Bags, Jars or Tins
Now that you have the cheap favor fillers, it's time to think about packaging. Honestly, packaging can be more fun than the favors, what with those brushed-aluminum watch tins and octogonal glass jars you see in magazines. But the costs can climb.
Often you can find some of the lowest prices for packaging on eBay, although the selection isn't always perfect. Personally, I love eBay, but I have also had a problem here or there, so I caution you: try to avoid buying key items for a high-stress event like a wedding, unless you have plenty of lead time. I've learned the hard way that if a seller doesn't stand behind their product or just kind of wanders away, you don't have much recourse and soon you're out of time.
Fortunately, there are 'regular' online stores that have super-cheap pricing plus a solid reputation. Here are a few you can buy from with confidence:
* Papermart: This plain-looking site has cheap packaging, plus a great reputation for quality and service. You can find almost anything you'd think of here.
* USBox: Another tried & tested site with great, cheap products.
* If you can't find what you want above, try Specialty Bottle.
* Oriental Trading Company also sells wedding favor boxes cheaply.
Okay, good! Now you've got your packing out of the way. That means it's time for the wacky, crazy world of ...
Bricks & Mortar or Online Clearance Sales
All bets are off now. Who knows what you'll find? Not me, because this step requires you to haunt the deepest reaches of your local bricks & mortar offerings (think Michaels, Joanna's, Pier One Imports, Ikea), or the tiniest niches of not-very-large websites.
Sweet tchotchkes have been found at craft stores for almost nothing, like those little glass swans and slippers you fill with candy and wrap up in tulle. Michael's tends to put grotesquely generous coupons in the newspaper every few weeks (ask your friends and family to collect them). Ikea has been known to cast out lovely glassware for a quarter apiece. Do your shopping!

Wow! Making wedding favors are so affordable yet stylish. With the economy crisis right now it would really help to have cheap wedding favors. Enjoy!
