Filed under: cheap wedding favor
I’m looking for under 5 dollars a head. My colors are black and white with red roses. I believe the favors is a great place for me to cut back on the budget, but I’m really not that creative. I wanted to buy everyone a bottle of wine, but I think 15 dollars a head is a bit excessive for a favor.
nova-Great Idea!

hutchie don’t make me give you the beat down you so desperately want.
A red rose candle would go perfect with your colors and they’re under $2 a pop!

At my sister’s wedding, we did pralines. They went over as a big hit, especially once everyone was drunk and started throwing them at each other… Mainly at the bride and groom…

I dont know how much this would help, but oriental trading company has some interesting wedding stuff that’s pretty cheap. You’d have to look it over though, but maybe you’ll find what you could use.
Good luck anyway!

we had bookmarks made with our wedding date on it. maybe a shot glass or wine glass etched with the date on it. you can brew your own beer and make labels yourself with the date. if you’d like to do the wine, find inexpensive bottles and label them yourselves. some wines are only $5 but I’m sure the mini bottles are cheaper. check out your local liquor store.

I’m slightly obsessed with it.
I love the idea of using a picture frame as a place card holder. That way the guests can take the picture frame home as a favor. Tie a ribbon around the back stand piece with a little card that reads:
" A picture is worth a 1000 words, but family and friends are priceless. We hope you use this to frame those you love for we truly cherish you. -Thank You, Mr & Mrs. Smith Oct 30,’07"

I went to a wedding this summer where the colors were pale yellow and green, and the party favors were tic tacs, the citrus twist flavor. They just printed up a sticker with their namesand wedding date and everyone thought it was cool and were eating them. I don’t know about black, but you can buy white tic tacs and red ones, and put both colors on the tables for variety.

I bought hershey kiss roses they were $1 a piece well actually cheaper because I bought on ebay in bulk… I used them as my center pieces, my bouquets, and my favors. Everyone loved them and they smelled amazing! My wedding colors were pink black and white I bought the pink and white hershey kiss roses and tied them with black ribbon!
Also we bought these little crystal flower pots I believe they were $3 a piece off ebay too but they were only given to special guests
Yes I’m cheap I know … But if you want I can link you to the shops and such if you like the ideas …
Good luck!!!

Got you covered! I have no less than 3 five gallon bucket fulls of hotel shampoo and soap (unused) that you can have if you’ll pay the shipping. You can throw a couple of bars of soap and shampoos into some snack sized ZipLoc bags and there you go, personal hygene travel kits! Who couldn’t use those? Oh, also you could get a sharpie and monogram them all for your attendants to make them extra special and give them that personal touch, they will treasure them forever!

Since I have 2 daughter’s getting married, I’m making flower pens for their wedding. They are easy to make & very inexpensive. All you need is silk flowers(red rose), ink pens & green floral tape. I’ll send you a pic if you want to see one…

Why have favors at all? Many guests find them annoying, rather than gratifying. Unless hosts can give each guest a little diamond and gold trinket from Tiffany’s, a la Donald Trump, they look a little silly trying to ape the Rolls Royce customs of "The Beautiful People" on a Ford Focus budget (IMPO). Use the $200 you save to hire a better band or get a more convenient location — something that will actually add pleasure to your guests’ experience.
