Thank Your Guests With Wedding Favors
Wedding Favors are a way of telling your friends and family "thank you" for sharing in this special day with you. These "thank you" gifts are usually placed on the table at the reception. These gifts can be something the guest can keep such as a CD with your favorite songs or it can be something edible (like fancy chocolates) or drinkable like a small bottle of champagne with your photo on it. Regardless, this is something that should definitely be included in your wedding budget. Favors can be reasonable and fairly inexpensive if you start looking early.

Creative or Not So Creative?Some brides choose to make their own. Do it yourself wedding favors can be fun to make if you have the time and patience. I am not a creative or crafty person, so this was not an option for my wedding. My sister, on the other hand, is very creative and have made many favors for her friends. I think when you do it yourself, it adds a more personal touch to the reception.Whether you decide to purchase the party favors or make them, you need to put some thought in it. The favors should remind the guests of you and the groom-to-be. Also, try to coordinate the favors with your color scheme.
The question most brides-to-be or couples getting married have is “How do I make wedding favors for cheap?” Before I begin to answer this question, I want to establish one thing. When using the word cheap, it doesn’t mean that you’re not giving it all you have. You’ve already spent a lot of money to make this day perfect. Therefore, here are some cheap or inexpensive ways to make wedding favors. Save yourself a little money, you could even use it on the honeymoon!! Here are some really cool ideas to save money and get two things done at once: • Flower Arrangements Make a small flower arrangement for each table setting. This can serve as both a favor for your guest and decorations for the table. You can normally find little glass containers at Wal-Mart or the Dollar Store for pretty cheap. Add some of your favorite flower(s) or a flower of your favorite color. You can even make it seasonal depending on when your wedding is. Have fun! Be creative! • Candles I know, everybody suggests candles for wedding favors. But find your favorite shape or scent and give each of your guests a small candle. This will make it personal for your guest. It will tell your guest you wanted them there and make them feel special. Use tulle and/or ribbon to make it more festive! • Small Frames – One of my favorites! You can find small frames and make them place card holders. Each of your guest will have a frame to take home with them. If you don’t want to assign seating, put a special message or quote in each frame. Your guest will have a special way of remembering you! • Wine Glass Markers Make wine glass markers with some wire and beads. Then find a small box and wrap ribbon around it. You need one for each guest. It will also be helpful to keep each other’s wine glasses separate! • Personalized CD of you and your fiancée’s favorite songs! You can buy CD’s at Office Depot, Staples, Wal-Mart, etc… for cheap. Then decide on 10 or so songs to put on there. Burn them to the CD; attach a label or write on each one. You can buy “print-on” labels wherever you buy the CD’s. Then give each guest one! It’s a cool personal gift. You can pull off your big day and save some money. Don’t make it look cheap either. Make and create your wedding favors for cheap!! You can do it!! Remember to have fun and be creative!!!
