How to Save With Affordable Wedding Favors
You buy your groceries in bulk, so why not purchase wholesale wedding favors? Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on expensive retail wedding favors, you can acquire direct from the factory or a wholesale company and save that money for something really important - like your honeymoon.
For hot wedding favor ideas that you can do with low cost products, read on.
Traditional Almonds
Tradition dictates that each wedding guest receive five sugared almonds encased in either a small box or wrapped in a pretty fabric. The almonds symbolize both the bitter sweetness nature of marriage, but also are a sign of health, happiness and fertility for the couple.
The almonds are not only traditional, they're also incredibly affordable. One stop at a local bulk food store or Costco and you can pick up two pounds of sugared almonds for as little as $10 to $30. Then, with little more than a couple yards of inexpensive tulle and some ribbon, you can make wedding favors that are classic, beautiful and affordable.
Wedding Candles
White candles make great wholesale wedding favors because they can be purchased very inexpensively and easily customized. You should be able to find a box of 50 white candles for as little as $5.00, with most brides spending no more than $10 to $15 to furnish their entire guest list with favors. You can also order votive or fancier candles from a wholesale supplier and still save money.
To customize each candle, buy some pretty paper or ribbon to wrap around them. You can print your names and wedding date on each, or attach a tag with a short thank you note, expressing your appreciation to each guest for joining you on your special day.
Bottled Preserves
Bottling your own wedding favors is a great way to embrace a local product and saving money. A Georgia couple may want to hand out peach preserves while a Vermont couple might bottle their own maple syrup.
You can either purchase wholesale bottles, direct from the manufacturer, online or look for preserve products and jars at your local bulk store. For less than $0.50 a container, you get a personalized favor that reflects both you and your home.
So, before you splash out on expensive wedding favors that say little about you as a couple, consider saving money with wholesale wedding favors that you can personalize to match your colors, styles and personalities. They will be automatically customized to your taste and much less expensive.
