Unscented Votive

In these difficult economic times couples are looking to save as money as they on their wedding preparations, which includes wedding favors. Whilst it is tempting to forgo the wedding favors and reallocate the budget elsewhere, it is generally frowned upon in wedding etiquette not to give favors and a percentage of your guests will be expecting them.

Typically the average wedding favor will come in between $2 and $3 each, however this price doesn’t include packaging, decorations and thank you tags. There is also the cost of shipping the favors to you and any applicable taxes.

It is possible thought to produce wedding favors for $2 each or maybe even less if you are particularly savvy with your shopping! The first step is to find your favors. Check out wholesalers if you have a lot of guests to cater for as these vendors will be able to offer you large quantities at lower prices than favor stores. Look for wedding favor wholesalers, gift wholesalers and food and drink wholesalers.

Check out stores on your local high street such as gift stores, dollar stores and even supermarkets who often have a great range of items which make great wedding favors. Things like tea and coffee, chocolates, cookies, candles and even mini cakes can all be bought from supermarkets at far less than their counterparts in favor stores.

The best budget favors are candy ones. Candy can be bought in bulk from many vendors including wholesalers and supermarkets very inexpensively and of course it comes in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colors to coordinate with your wedding. Look for flowers and butterflies for a floral themed wedding, hearts for a romantic theme or send your guests back to their childhood with some retro candy.

Candles are another favor which can be bought cheaply particularly from supermarkets and dollar stores. The cheapest are tea lights, however one tea light on its own is not a very attractive favor, so try to include a decorative holder with it. Votive candles are also relatively inexpensive and come in a range of colors and scents. Avoid anything too overpowering, instead choose either unscented or something subtle like Jasmine.

Avoid purchasing favors such as mini soaps from dollar stores as they are often of sub standard quality and you don’t your guests calling you to tell you they came out in a terrible rash two days after your wedding! In fact anything bath or body related such as soaps, bath salts, lotions and potions should be considered with caution and I would recommend avoiding these unless you have a bigger budget and can afford something from a more upmarket retailer.

Packaging is the next thing you need to consider, don’t buy it until you have your favors though! In fact many favors don’t really need packaging at all, candles for instance or tea lights in holders will look just lovely tied with a little ribbon and a thank you tag. Candies will need packaging unless you buy them already wrapped. Consider cellophane bags which you could tie up with ribbon and maybe stick on some added embellishments. Favor boxes themselves can be quite pricey, but are worth considering if you have enough left in your budget as they can transform an otherwise cheap favor into something more special!
