In the economy today and with the high cost of bridal gowns and weddings in general, brides are looking to cut corners when and wherever they can. The little tidbit, which you give out at your wedding that says, “Thank You for Attending†is one area where you can cut costs without it looking cheap.
Below you will find some very nice and unique wedding favour ideas. They are also quite economical.If you are making your own, you will need a bag or box to put them in. There are plenty of budget friendly items to be found and utilized; some conventional and others a bit whimsical. You can find bags and boxes in all shapes, sizes and colours. Square, rectangles even triangular boxes can be made to fit any theme. Some people even use the top hat styled boxes to give favours to the men in attendance at a wedding.
The bags are really the most versatile of the lot, small gift bags can be filled with tiny mementos of the big day. Fill them with fine chocolates, have the names of the bride and groom inscribed on them and voila! you have a great wedding favor!. Not to mention that the bags add a demure softness to the tables and they cost only a few pence more than the boxes.
While making the wedding favour bag, you can insert a small square of tulle, this can be purchased at any local haberdashery, use pinking shears to add some interesting texture to the edges of the tulle. Place a sweet in the center and then make a sack of the tulle to contain the sweet. Tie it off with a bit of ribbon and place inside the bag. Let the bits of ribbon trail outside of the bag. Use a pencil to make the ends of the ribbon form into curls. If tulle is not in the budget, soft coloured tissues can be used instead, that is if the sweet is light and airy.
Use unadorned boxes and decorate them yourself with ribbons and bows in the colours of the wedding theme. This is one of the more cost effective wedding favour ideas.
After attending several weddings, you may notice that you are getting an overabundance of almost identical wedding favours. Making your own wedding favours will give you the opportunity to create one that is unique and unforgettable.
Seasonal weddings offer the greatest number of gifting ideas. Springtime weddings are ripe for plastic eggs filled with goodies or maybe a small trinket that memorializes the date. In the winter you can give small aroma therapy inspired candles or a tree ornament with the date and names of the bride and groom. There is a treasure trove of unique wedding favor ideas just waiting for you to uncover them. Put on your creative thinking cap and have a bit of fun with it, the less traditional the wedding the greater leeway you have with regard to what you can give as wedding favours. It’s your day; make it your own in every conceivable way.
