Create an Elegant Wedding Favor
Elegant Wedding Favor Ideas for the Budget Conscious
Elegant wedding favor ideas seem out of reach for the couple that needs to trim their wedding costs. You may have found cheaper wedding favors at local stores, but they looked, well, cheap. Or you might have looked at wedding websites online only to realize that you’d have to buy hundreds of wedding favors to get the low price you want – but what would you do with the extras? You can find wedding favors that look elegant for your guests, without spending your reception budget – here’s how.
Ring in Your New Marriage
In keeping with the idea of wedding bells, an elegant wedding favor idea for your guests is a small set of bells with a card listing the date of the wedding as well as a picture of the happy couple. These bells can be purchased at your local craft store for just a few cents per bell, and there are ways to buy cases to further reduce this cost without leaving you with too many extras. You can type out your message or lettering with a computer program, print multiple copies on nice paper, and then cut these tags out to attach to the bells. Not only is this idea inexpensive and simple, but it’s a memento that your guests can keep, perhaps even hang as a reminder of your special day.
Sweeten up Their Ride Home
What you need to keep in mind is that an elegant wedding favor doesn’t have to cost a lot to look like it cost a lot. Take, for example, using decadent chocolates for small favors at your wedding. You might purchase a larger box of truffles and chocolates, but then package them in small decorative boxes. You can tie a simple ribbon around the box; attach a name tag, and the set on their place setting at the reception. This sweet treat is the perfect way to thank guests for coming, plus the ribbon and tag can be saved as a piece of memorabilia.
The Scent of Love
Another simple, yet elegant wedding favor idea is to buy small colored sachet bags and pour dried lavender flowers into them. Wrap a ribbon around the top to keep the lavender in and attach a small card that reads:
Lavender was often used in Roman times to calm and soothe the nerves of brides on their wedding day. This lavender can be used in a calming bath by placing this sachet into a tub of warm water for five minutes. Remove the bag and then sit in the bath to relax any cares away
You could also include a short love poem on this sachet, if you’d like.
Elegant wedding favor ideas do not need to cost a lot to make your guests feel their presence has been appreciated. Try looking at wedding favor supply stores and websites to see what else you may be able to make on your own.
