Inexpensive Wedding Favor Ideas

Thanking Wedding Guests with Cheap and Practical Items

Don't let a tight budget come in the way of a dream wedding and choose for inexpensive wedding favors.

Couples hand out wedding favors to their wedding guests in order to thank them for participating in their special day of love. It’s sad to say, but a lot of wedding favors get thrown away almost immediately after the wedding. Inexpensive wedding favors are thus a good idea. Also keep in mind that the more useful a wedding favor is, the less it’ll get thrown away.

Bookmarks, sandblasted glass and shot glasses are ideal favors for weddings because these items can be used after the wedding and they are inexpensive. They also prove that cheap wedding favors do not need to be tacky.

Homemade Wedding Favors: Bookmarks

Homemade bookmarks are inexpensive wedding favors and very practical as well. Wedding guests can take them home after the wedding and use them for their favorite or new books.

The couple’s name and wedding date is usually printed on one side of the bookmark. The other side can contain a photograph of the happy couple or a short love poem printed in a nice font. These inexpensive wedding favors can be printed at home. Print them on card stock paper, because this kind of paper is thicker than normal printing paper and will make the bookmarks more durable.

It’s possible to print three or four bookmarks on one paper which reduces the amount of paper needed. Go to a print shop and have the bookmarks laminated. A ribbon can be attached to the top of each bookmark but this is of course optional. When using ribbons, make sure that they match the wedding colors for an extra personal touch.

Wedding Favor Idea: Sandblasted Glass

Glass is not so expensive these days and especially not when buying in large quantities. Look for craft shops nearby that provide personalized sandblasted glass and compare prices. Wedding party gifts in this category include: personalized wine glasses, glass coasters, glass candlesticks, glass bowls and more.

Sandblasting is not as expensive as it sounds and it gives cheap wedding favors a very personal touch. The text on the glass can be a short sentence like ‘happy together’, ‘happily married’ or ‘thank you’ or it can mention the names of the bride and groom. It’s also possible to have the wedding date sandblasted on the glass. Couples can be at creative as they wish!
Shot Glasses Filled With Candy

Another cheap wedding favor idea is buying simple shot glasses and fill them with candy. Adding a small card that has the names of the couple printed on it gives the wedding favor a personal touch.

When choosing candy to fill the shot glasses with it’s wise to think about the date of the wedding. A wedding taking place in the middle of summer should not include chocolate candy because it will melt easily and melted chocolates is not something wedding guests will appreciate.

Other Cheap Wedding Favors

Looking for more cheap wedding favors? These wedding favor ideas are also very nice and cheap: personalized candles, food favors, heart-shaped vases, personalized chocolate coins, mints in a box, personalized wedding poker chips and place card holders.

If a couple does not hand out the wedding favors themselves, the best thing to do is to put a note next to them saying that every guest can take a wedding favor home. This way, wedding guests will not be afraid or reluctant to take one.

That's very beautiful wedding favors and less expensive. It's stylish and your guests will enjoy it.
