Don't Forget To Plan For Wedding Favors In Your Budget

Wedding favors are small, inexpensive gifts or souvenirs that you present to your guests as 

a way of saying "thank-you for attending our wedding celebration". It has become customary 

to give something in return to your guests that they can keep as a memory of your special 

day. 

Favors don't have to be large or expensive. Some are elegant, some are practical and some 

are just plain fun. Choose a favor that reflects your wedding theme in some way. Many favor 

ideas can easily be interchanged with various themes just by substituting a decoration or 

color on the favor. 

Budget For The Cost of Wedding Favors 

When planning out your wedding budget, be sure to allot about 3% of your money toward 

favors. Make sure you know the approximate number of guests that will be attending your 

reception, then you will be better able to estimate the maximum amount of how much each 

favor can cost. The fewer guests that you have, the more expensive your favors can be, if 

you so choose. 

When making or buying any favors, keep in mind the color scheme of your wedding and use 

ribbons, tulle, flowers, etc. decorations that reflect your wedding colors. 

Once the favors are completed, attach personalized favor tags that have your names and 

wedding date printed on them. You can use paper tags or monogrammed ribbons that you either 

create yourself or purchase from a vendor. Some couples also add a small saying to their 

tags as well. 

Delight Your Guests With Unique and Creative Favors 

Wedding party favors are only limited by your imagination, so mix and match, and have fun 

creating your own unique bridal favors.
