ways to cut your budget is to go for cheap wedding favors. It is hard to find a

Your plain, everyday shot glass is a great bet on a cheap wedding favor. Shot
glasses are often regarded as mementos because they often come from
restaurants or souvenir shops. Your guests will associate a shot glass with a
memory of a great wedding. Giving shot glasses is a great way to say thanks
as well as send everyone home with something nice that they will cherish. It
is also easy and elegant to have them inscribed with a personalized message
like "October 23, 2010" or "Bob and Susie Watkins." Another alternative to
shot glass favors is personalized match wedding favors. Both make great
mementos for a low price.

Save money by giving out fresh flower cuts at your wedding. Not only can
they beautify your reception tables, but giving a small bouquet of daffodils or
daisies will make a great eating atmosphere for the party. Typically used in
spring weddings, fresh flowers represent the rejuvenation of nature after a
long winter. Festive, beautiful, and affordable, flower wedding favors can be
placed in anything from an old jar to a crystal vase.

For a great do-it-yourself idea, purchase ribbon from a sewing store or a

choose a color that matches the rest of your wedding, as you would not want
to deter from your theme.
Tip: To curl ribbon, run a single scissor (or pocketknife) blade down the
ribbon's stretched edge.
One way to get wedding favors for cheap is to order them in bulk. It almost
always works out cheaper if you buy a lot of something. Favors like bottle
stoppers, playing cards, wedding box favors, cake toppers, Jordan almonds,
candy jars, toasting flutes, and candles are all small items that you may
consider buying in bulk if your wedding party will be 75 people or more.
Thinking that baking your own homemade goodies might save you a little
dough? You're right. One great recipe for a cheap wedding favor is chocolate
covered pretzels. Using your favorite brand of pretzels, throw them in a
melting pot of chocolate. Remove after a few seconds, and place on a baking
sheet with wax paper. Stick them in the freezer, and you are good to go for a
whole week before the wedding! For an economical way to wrap them, use
plastic wrap and tie with a curly ribbon. For a quick and festive way to spruce
up the tables, throw glitter and confetti around the pretzels.
