The most popular wedding favor ideas usually include food or drink of some kind. These can range from an inexpensive fruit box to an expensive bottle of champagne. The problem with any food gifts however, no matter how inexpensive they are, is that in many cases the food is perishable. If you are buying you wedding favors ahead of time this is an important factor. Another popular idea is gifts like photos of the happy couple, guest picture frames, candles and even something simple like silk bookmarks. Finally, a new trend is for the couple to make a donation to the charity of the guest’s choice in their name. This will require you to include a card explaining the donation and how to fill it out. Many guests really like this simply because they can use it as a tax deduction.

Weddings are events that require a great deal of planning to make it the most memorable day possible. One of the most important aspects of any wedding, especially big weddings, is the favors. A wedding favor is simply a small gift given to all of the guests and, if you are having a big wedding, maybe a couple hundred people or more, this can get very expensive very quickly. Unless you have a large amount of disposable cash lying around or you have been saving for the wedding for a long time you will want to find cheap wedding favors that also offer style and elegance.

One popular choice for cheap wedding favors is the edible treat. These can be mints, almonds, chocolates, or other candies or even fruits. The best place to find these are your local gift store or you can buy separate boxes and gift wrap them yourself. The edible treat has become one of the most attractive options because nearly everyone like sweets and the cost of each box is very low.

Cheap wedding favors need to reflect not only the personality of the bride and groom but should match somewhat the personalities of the guests. They should also match the theme of your wedding if you are planning something non-traditional, like a beach wedding.

The best place however to find cheap wedding favors is the internet. Not only is there a plethora of electronic store fronts offering these products but the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Another option is to buy the affordable wedding favors and use fancy paper bags to package them in. This allows you to not only save money on wrapping them but the time it takes to individually wrap each gift. Now that you know how to find and package discount wedding favors your planning for the big day will go much smoother.

A good option for those on a budget is to instead opt for wedding favor centerpieces which combine both the favors and the centerpiece into one item which will save you a great deal of cash on your final costs,

One way to cut down on the ever increasing costs of a wedding is to combine several ideas into one. You can, for example, have your wedding centerpieces double as your wedding favors – or even (gasp) triple as your table numbers or name cards even! It can be done; it just takes a little creative thinking.

For unique wedding favor centerpieces, why not use wine bottles as favors for your guests? Whether full size or smaller, you can replace the labels with the table numbers – or menu even. An arrangement of the bottles amongst flowers and candles in the center of the table would be beautiful or you can have the flowers be the favors. For example, why not plant a take-home garden in the center of the table? From afar it looks like a solid box of flowers – up close however, you’ll notice the individual pots for each guest to take home.  Another idea would be to center your tables with multi-level trays of decadent desserts – some sweets are just too beautiful to eat! Leave small Chinese take-out boxes or foldable mini cake boxes on the tables for the guests to take the treats home in.

On almost any wedding favor website you can find “cake boxes,” these gorgeous little boxes form a “cake” when put together on a platter. Fill them with anything you desire! Just remember to light everything properly with candles and use mirrors wisely to reflect that beautiful light back onto your unique centerpieces! (Even your candles when done right, can be the take-home favor of the night.)

Wedding favor centerpieces can make beautiful centerpieces when done correctly. As always, remember to have fun and be creative with your decisions – think out of the box a little bit and you can make people remember your wedding for years to come!
