Inexpensive Wedding Favors - Ideas For Your Special Day

By Juliette Crane


Wedding favors are one of the more interesting aspects of planning a wedding but often left a little late in the preparations. Don't worry if you can't think of anything as there is a whole industry set up supplying treats for guests. This is a part of the arrangements, like the guest list and seating arrangement that will often cause unnecessary stress when there doesn't have to be any.

Flowers are always a favorite easy wedding favor and also so simple to arrange and then set up on the day. The big plus with this option is the ease and speed with which flowers can be organized.

A popular choice is a red rose and as a symbol of love which is very fitting at a reception. You can simply purchase one for each guest and have a member of the catering staff, a friend or family member place one rose across each place setting after the tables have been set for the wedding reception.

About 75 percent of people will use candy as it is an easy wedding favor that always pleases which can be simply presented in a box. If you prefer, there is an even easier method to give candy which can also save money at the same time. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each table.

To complete this idea, a small plain bag or carton can be left for each wedding guest to put their candy into. All you have to do is let each guest have the option to take whatever candy they like and you won't have anything more to do.

If you prefer not to give your guests more to eat then another option is a small picture frame and if you like, it can be used on the day as placeholders. The only problem with giving photo or picture frames as a wedding favor is when you have to wrap each picture frame individually. However, by using the picture frames to hold the place cards, you do not have to worry about wrapping them for your guests.

Another easy wedding favor option to end this article is to arrange for a professional photographer to attend the wedding reception and take a photo of every couple as they arrive looking their best. If he brings along a printer you can distribute the photos before your guests begin to leave the reception. Everyone will appreciate this wedding favor as it is a reminder they can cherish for many years. Many professional photographers have purchased small digital projectors so there is no reason why you couldn't request one at the reception and this way your guests could see the images that had been taken during the day.
