I’m trying to think of ideas for party favors for my wedding. I don’t want to spend too much so creative ideas would be great. I’m trying to cut back on things where I can. My colors are white & yellow. Its May 2nd. There will be around 50-60 adults. And then 10-15 kids give or take. Any ideas?
I’m a wedding planner and my clients are always searching for the perfect favor? Are you in America? Cos if you are then it is spring and seeds are a great inexpensive option.
You could purchase seeds (maybe a flower that blossoms yellow and white… or anything pretty). Then you could either make a material pouch and tie it with a ribbon and a little card wich has your names and a little clever line about growing love or blossoming happiness ect.
You can also make your own paper and place the seeds in the mix, when it sets you can cut it out into a relevant shape or scroll it up and tie it again with a ribbon and a tab (which also explains that you should plant the whole scroll and wait for it to blossom.
I just think the seeds are a great idea. they are very very affordable and it’s something your guests can take home with them and actually use long after the wedding. Remembering your special day.
Sure alot of people won’t plant them but your aunts and grandmothers will treasure them and your friends and family will think they are really sweet.
Hope that helps…. Look on the Knot.com aswell they have heaps of really cheap and clever items.
Perhaps you could order specialized M&M’s and wrap some in colored plastic wrap with a ribbon.
Traditional favors in Italian families are the colored or white candy coated almonds.
Try Jo-Ann Fabrics, Michael’s, or other craft stores. They have wonderful wedding ideas.
Best of luck to you and yours.

You could make the classic boxes of chocolates or a special kind of candy. These are both a favorite with adults and kids. To make them extra special use clear boxes and tie them with a white and/or yellow ribbon.

Head to Michael’s and just browse around, see what you can come up with.
For ours we are doing nice baggies with jelly beans in our wedding colours. You could have white and yellow jelly beans for example. We are getting our bags for $2 at the dollar store. and all the jelly beans for about $15 at Bulk Barn. This’ll cover 65 people, for us. This way it’s not something people will throw out as soon as they get home. And if you wish, print off some tags and attach them too.
OR what about getting some nice large candles in your colour (yellow) and wrapping them with a nice cellophane and add a tag with your name and date. At least 1/2 the people will use that.
Good luck

I think a burned cd is a great idea! I really wanted to do this for my wedding, but we just ran out of time. You could put a few songs from the wedding, you and your fiance’s favorite songs, etc. I went to one wedding where each of the bridal party had picked a song that reminded them of the couple. So, the cd read "Adam’s song: _____" etc. Also, if you are having out of town guests it is fun to put songs that have your state in them. For a Tennessee wedding, one of my friends did "Walking in Memphis" and several others.
I guess if you don’t already have a cd burner and label maker it could be expensive. But it is creative, fun, and personal!

I’d give the children drawing pads and crayons or markers to help keep them busy during the reception. Small, inexpensive toys would make a great idea for them also.
There are so many ideas for the adults. Little baggies of cookies or candies in your colors might be one of the least expensive ways to go. Although there are lots of good ideas at http://www.sandiego-romantics.com/wedding-favors.html. I kind of like a wine stopper. It’s practical and inexpensive. You could give one per couple.
