When planning a wedding you would like to keep the costs down and one way to achieve this is by using cheap wedding favors.

The favor although inexpensive to purchase or make does not need to look cheap, the secret to making them look expensive is in the way you package and present them.

 There are many stores that can supply inexpensive wedding favors which can also be personalized, but do shop around as prices can vary considerable on the same type of product.

Keep and eye out for the clearance sales and discontinued lines you can really pick up a bargain at these sales.

Homemade wedding favors are another cheap wedding favors idea, but do cost out the project first before making, because in some instances the materials used to make the favor can add up to more than a purchased one.

You may have to do some careful shopping and planning or change the favour idea to something that you can comfortably afford.

If you would like to try your hand at making your wedding favors consider giving edible wedding favors these usually go down well with most age groups and there are many simple ideas around.



Here are a few simple ideas for cheap wedding favors:

  • Mini Florentine Cookies


  • Daisy Cupcakes


  • Wedding Cake Cookies


  • Coconut Fortune Cookies


  • Spritz Cookies


  • Viennese Coffee Balls


  • Gourmet Rocky Road


  • Print bookmarks on your home computer, laminate them having about 2.5cm (1 inch) of sealed laminate edge at the top end and punch a hole in this 2.5cm (1 inch) section. Tie a narrow ribbon or tassel to this end.


  • Make your own wedding buttons.


  • Make wine glass markers, the items and instructions for these can easily be found in any craft store.


  • Give small pictures frames that can double up as place cards.


  • Give scented candles, add a special message and tie it to the candle or present it in a small organza bag.


  • Give a living gift such as a tulip bulb in a terracotta pot, small shrub, seed packets or even flowering pot plants (you can use these flowering plants as your table centrepiece as well).
Yes you can do it! Just select a project that is simple to do. You can find some more ideas on our wedding projects page these are simple and doable, no matter what your level of expertise.

Important Tips

  • Keep in mind that the containers or packaging that you present the gift in may not be the correct container for storing the gift. So be sure to give instructions to the recipient.

    That way, any food which is not consumed right away can be safely stored. How long the food can be stored also depends on how long you have stored the food gift in your own home since preparing it.


  • Offer serving suggestions this way the recipient knows how to serve and enjoy the food.


  • Include preparation directions. For food favors that require reheating or other specific instructions do include preparation directions, this could be as simple as putting a photocopy in the box or pasted onto the gift tag.


  • Present your gifts in inexpensive plates, trays, boxes, decorative paper bags or cellophane bags tied with fabric ribbon or curling ribbon.
