Here are our top ideas for cheap wedding favors that won’t cost you an arm and a leg and look anything but cheap.
- Bookmarks: These make for inexpensive, but very thoughtful wedding favors. You can go in for a classic bookmark with the bride’s and groom’s name and a little poem written on it, or opt for designs such as butterfly bookmark favors, heart bookmarks etc. Most bookmark favors are available for about $2 but if you can make them yourself you can save a whole lot more! If you’re going to make them yourself take them to your local copier and have them laminated so that they’re sure to last.
- Coasters: In addition to being a cheap wedding favor, coasters are practical gifts too. A set of coasters can easily be yours for under $2. Add a photo of the bride and groom or personalize the coasters with your names and wedding date to make your wedding favors even more unique.
- Plant seeds:Gifting plant seeds is increasingly becoming a very popular and inexpensive idea for wedding favors. Your guests can plant the seeds in their gardens and think of you every time they look at the flowers in full bloom. This is one wedding favor that can definitely be enjoyed for years on end plus their considered to be eco-friendly favors!
- Scented soaps: Although it is quite cheap to put together a box of small scented soaps in various designs and colors, this wedding favor will definitely not look cheap.

When brides call to discuss their wedding invitations they typically ask about Wedding Programs. It’s obviously an additional expense so many want to know if a wedding program is necessary and if so what information should it contain.
First of all they are not mandatory but make a great keepsake for your guests and are an easy to way to communicate and share the the following to your guests…
- Names of the wedding party and their relation to you and your future spouse.
- Religious or ethnic customs that may be part of your ceremony that they are not familiar with.
- Music and/or religious readings that may be performed.
- Tell the story of your relationship – How did you meet?
- Honor deceased family members.
Your program can be as simple as a single sheet of paper that you print on your own computer that is folded or even flat. And if you’re going to create a more complex program with multiple pages you may want to consider having it bound into a booklet at your local printer or tying it together with ribbon.
If you’re looking for something a little more decorative check with your retailer to see if your wedding invitations are available with a coordinating wedding program. Even many of the “do it yourself” wedding invitations kits on the market today offer the coordinating Wedding Program Kits.
What you decide just have fun with this project, don’t wait until and last minute to complete it and lastly…don’t forget to use “spell check”
