Best Luxury Wedding Favors

Many brides will find their budgets stretched by the time they reach the point in the wedding planning for ordering their wedding favors . However, many will not want to compromise on the favors they give, so how can you afford luxury wedding favors on a budget?


Becoming a savvy shopper is one way. If you begin looking for your wedding favors early enough you will find plenty of websites which regularly offer up incentives, promotions and discounts to encourage you to buy. Some of these offers can save you quite a lot of money but be sure to compare as many as possible before making a purchase.


Wholesalers are the perfect option if you are having a large wedding. A wholesaler will apply a minimum order level which may in a monetary value, for instance a minimum spend of $300 or in quantity i.e. 300 units. Even if you don't need as many as the minimum order would give you, you could consider selling the rest via websites like EBay to give you some extra cash.


Typically, specialist favor stores will be more expensive than sourcing your wedding favors from other types of store. For instance, a quick look around your local supermarket will reveal a wealth of favor options for far cheaper prices. Items such as candles, coasters, chocolates, candies, cookies, cupcakes, and even miniature bottles of wines and spirits can all give you the luxury favors you want at a budget price.


Also consider purchasing enough favors for one between two. Do couples really need to have a photograph frame each or two sets of coasters? Giving wedding favors, one between two and of course one per single guest, will really stretch your budget further and you will probably be able to afford better favors than if you bought one each.


Making your own wedding favors is possibly the cheapest option and the best way of creating unique and personal favors for your wedding day. You can easily make your own cookies, cupcakes and chocolates at home for very little expense and your guests will love all the trouble you have gone too. If you are particularly creative then try your hand at soap or candle making, or even growing plants to give as favors.


Finally, go back to the tradition of only giving your female guests a wedding favor. Most men will probably not be too fussed about receiving a favor anyway and it will give you the opportunity to seek out perfect little feminine items such as mini bottles of perfume, compacts and bud vases.
