Are you worried about the soaring price tag of your upcoming nuptials?
You know that you’ll be forking out hefty sums for a dress for the ceremony, flowers for the church, and catering for the reception. Sure, you want people to enjoy themselves at this memorable occasion – but you also would like to keep it reasonably priced. This means you’re probably looking for ways to lower your event costs without sacrificing the quality of the experience for your guests.
There is one area where you can pull this off rather easily: wedding favors!
Here are some examples of some affordable keepsake wedding favors which are sure to make an impression on your guests:
Glass Coasters
These gorgeous glass coasters can add to the elegant design of your reception tables. The square Calla Lily Glass Coaster Set (Set of 4) features a beautiful white matte calla lily design. The circular Winter Wonderland Glass Coaster Set (Set of 2) has the words “Winter Wonderland” written in script along with a snowflake pattern surrounded by a swirly border.
The square Je T'aime Glass Photo Frame Coaster Set (Set of 2), which can double as a place holder or miniature photo frame, boasts a pearly musical note design with hearts in the upper left and lower right hand corners - along with the French translation of “I Love You” scripted below the frame. All of these coasters are 3.5 inches wide and come wrapped with white organza ribbon.
Bookmarks
Simple yet functional, these metal bookmarks garnished with ribbon will evoke wedding memories every time your guests pick up their favorite books. The Love Bookmark has a lavender damask print with the word “LOVE” framed by an oval in the middle. The Thank You Bookmark displays the words “THANK YOU” vertically written in purple over a yellow floral pattern. The Floral Whimsy Bookmark showcases the quote "To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence” winding through a green and purple swirl and floral print.
The Geometric Print Bookmark has a green background and rows of three turquoise and brown geometric shapes; the Richard Bach quote “True love stories never have endings” winds across the middle column of shapes. The There is Only One Happiness Bookmark has brown, green, and turquoise vertical stripes with the quote “There is only one happiness in life: To love and be loved" in the middle of the bookmark. All of these bookmarks are four inches long and come with a white organza bag; and they have tags that can be personalized to varying degrees.
Favor Boxes
These containers are perfectly designed to hold candy, rice, bubbles, or even personalized notes for your guests. If you are going for a look of simplicity, the Transparent Boxes, which are 2.25 inches square and 1.125 inches deep, and the Frost Cube Favor Boxes, which are 60 millimeters wide, are a snap to put together and fun to garnish.
For something a little more elaborate, the Butterflies Laser-Cut Favor Box by Kate Aspen is constructed with sage green or pastel pink heavyweight paper, and is surrounded by a white cover with a laser-etched butterfly. Similarly, the "Autumn Elegance" Laser-Cut Fall Leaf Favor Box by Kate Aspen has an etched leaf pattern on a crème cover over an apple red or chocolate brown base color. Both of these laser-cut boxes are two inches wide and come decorated with colored ribbon.
Miscellaneous Containers
The best thing about these different containers is that you can decorate them to your liking or fill them with candies, mints, or other goodies. The Aluminum Favor Tins, perfectly suited for jellybeans or mints, are 2 inches in diameter and come with a transparent lid.
The Miniature Silver Metal Pails (12/Pk), which are 2.25 inches high including the handles, are a perfect complement to a garden or Western wedding theme. The similarly-sized Tin Favor Pails by Kate Aspen (12/Pk), available in white, pink, silver, lavender, light blue, or sage green, can hold potpourri, birdseed, or even small flowers.
Unique Gifts
Perhaps you are looking for originality and affordability. Then you might consider the 6.75-inch tall "Mr. & Mrs." Swizzle Sticks by Kate Aspen (Set of 24), which are topped by top hats and tiaras with veils. The 'HeartLights' Frosted Glass Heart Candles by Kate Aspen (Set of 4) are 2.375 inches by 2.25 inches in size and come wrapped with stylish sheer white organza bags.
The "Cherry Blossoms" Vellum Wine Glass Shades by Kate Aspen (Set of 24) fit over standard sized wine glasses, and the cherry blossom design on the side is silhouetted to allow light to filter through (perhaps from a tea light inside the glass itself).
When it comes to wedding celebrations, guests won’t recall how much money you spent on the event – but they will remember all the fun and merriment that they experienced on your special day. And keepsake wedding favors will help them summon up the great memories of your joyous occasion.
So the price of your wedding favors is less important than many people think. Therefore, if these keepsakes will help your guests fondly remember your wedding, and you are able to save a little money in the process, it’s a win-win situation for everyone!
