Weddings Under A Budget: Five (5) Popular Cheap Wedding Favor Ideas


As you leave the blessed singleness and enter the new, blissful chapter of life called marriage, share this unforgettable milestone with your friends and loved ones. Give them mementos to remember you and your special day. Here are five (5) of the most popular and significant wedding favors best suited for weddings under a budget.

1.      Message in a Bottle. With the idea taken from Nicholas Sparks’ romantic bestselling book, Message in a Bottle, renew everyone’s faith in destiny and that timeless and everlasting thing called love. Order a bulk of empty favor bottles. Slip in a personalized wedding message. Have a ribbon wrapped around the handle for a more customized look.

2.      Candle in a transparent gift box. The lighting of the candle signifies the blessing of marriage by Jesus Christ. Pass on that significance to those who witnessed your union.  It can be flower-themed patterned after the wedding bouquet or sea-inspired if you have a beach wedding.

3.      Home-baked cookies. Cookies, especially home-baked ones, are a great reminder of what is in store for you and your significant other as you take the journey together along the road known as family life. You can do the baking yourself. You can opt to go local and ask your catering services in Makati to include it in their package. Or perhaps, your catering Makati guy can recommend a good baker where you can acquire great discounts if you order in batch.

4.      Scented soaps. A practical way to “shower thanks” to the people who attended the wedding is by sending out scented soaps in various designs and shapes. It can be home-made (soap makers sometimes offer them at a tremendously discounted price) or it can be bought in boxes of 4, 6, or 8.

5.      Cupid-inspired or heart-shaped favors. Spread the magic of love by giving away cupid-inspired favors or keepsakes containing heart in different shape. It can be a pen with a heart-stand set, key chain, bottle stopper, bookmark or a place card holder.
