Modern weddings can cost a fortune as there seems to be more things to cater for nowadays and the choice of wedding favors just keeps growing so this is an area that needs to be chosen carefully. For those people that are more concerned about having a large number of people at their wedding then they may need to consider wedding favor alternatives. This obviously becomes more complicated if you decide to have a big wedding but have a tight budget.

Candles are one of the simplest ideas for cheap wedding favors and you can find simple candles available at very affordable prices. If you are still unsure about this idea then why not buy some ribbon that has details of the wedding on it and then tie pieces to the candles. Most companies that supply personalized promotional material or wedding favor specialists can organize something like this for a very reasonable cost. It doesn’t take much to make a cheap wedding favor look like an expensive gift item when presented properly.

Using candy is an alternative that while inexpensive can really make an impression and does not look like a cheap wedding favor. Small tins or cartons can also be bought wholesale in addition to the candy so each guest can have his or her own small portion. People like things that are personalized and there is no reason why candy bars cannot have this done to them for a wedding. You can easily expand upon this idea, without costing too much more by adding special wrappers especially for the wedding. The candy wrappers only need to have your wedding details on them but a nice touch is to have a picture of the happy couple. The design does not have to be complicated and by having the same wrapper, the cost will be brought down further ensuring the bride and groom provide a cheap but effective wedding favor.

If you would prefer to give something a little more practical but still within your budget then why not give the guests plant seeds in a box. Just to make this a little more exclusive, the seeds can easily be placed in a small container or pot that is just big enough to fit them in. You don’t even need to buy large pots as they are not to be used for planting the seeds, just to hold them in temporarily. The small pots will actually look very effective and at the same time save a considerable amount of money at the same time.

Another practical but appealing idea is to present each guest with a pen which can give the appearance of a more expensive wedding favor than it really is, especially if it has the bride and grooms wedding details printed on it. Pens do not cost a great deal and can also be paired with personalized stationery for a really practical gift. This is such a great idea for a wedding favor because plus by including note encouraging the guest to stay in touch you are letting them know you truly value their friendship. By placing an addressed envelope for every guest on the table with the stationery, there is a greater chance that the bride and groom will actually receive thoughts on how the day went.
