Save Money With Inexpensive Yet Elegant Wedding Table Decorations

One of the simplest yet important things to consider in a wedding are the wedding favors. Of course you want your friends and family to remember this one momentous occasion and you want to give them something, a token of appreciation and something to keep and remember your wedding day. Now, you’re on a tight budget and still would want something to give away. Here are some inexpensive ideas you can make by yourself.

Personalized Chocolate bars
One sweet and inexpensive way of having your favors are personalized candies and chocolates. You can do this on your own. Chocolates can be expensive but there are a lot to choose from. You can opt to purchase inexpensive mini chocolate candy bars based on your budget. Peel off the paper label, leaving the foil intact and get the exact measurements of the label. Then you can have someone design your label or if you are creative you can design it on your own. Then print your design and cut the same measurement as the original label. You can use a simple paper, or a special glossy paper, depending on your choice. Now your label is ready! Wrap the label around the chocolate bar and paste ends together. Voila! You now have your personalized chocolate candy bars to give away.

Candy Bags
Another option is to purchase candies and put them inside a tulle pouch. All you need are candies, tulle material or organza. Tulle is the same fabric used in veils. You can purchase this in any color depending on your motif. Cut the tulle in squares in any size you want but keep it uniform. Get the candies and put them in the center of the tulle, get all ends together and tie with any string or ribbon. For the tags, you can have this printed out yourself, with you thank you note and the necessary details. Punch a hole, slide in a string and attach to the pouch.

Candy Filled Favor Tins
This is a really sweet and cute wedding favor. Use aluminum tins with clear top. Fill it with candies (jelly beans, candy sprinkles or tiny chocolate candies). Tie a ribbon or string around it. You can print out thank you notes in sticker paper or use tags.

Cookie Favor boxes
If you have a knack for baking, you can bake cookies and other goodies and pack tem inside a box. Personalize it by using stickers or tags.

Bookmarks
Bookmarks are inexpensive, and very useful souvenir. You can put quotes or poems or even a thank you note you wrote yourself. You can have it printed back to back or just one side. It’s really your choice. You can use board papers, which are widely available in bookstores.

Candles
Candles are also nice as wedding favors. There are a lot of sizes and shapes to choose from- scented or unscented. If you choose to have small to medium candles, you can just print out the label and paste it around the candle. You can also put ribbons, and other tiny decors you wish, then attach a tag to it. If you want to use tea light candles, you can also put them inside a tulle pouch, like the candies.

Bottled Favors
For this one you can buy empty clear bottles with cork lids, in any size, any shape you want. Think out of the box. You can put colored or plain sand or you can put confetti, which you can also make by yourself. You can put colored candy sprinkles as well. You have an option to paste the label outside the bottle or attach a thank you note tag on the bottle’s neck. Or you can simply put a scroll of paper inside the bottle.

Add decorations using ribbons or any string. If you want to use colored bottles, just decorated it with ribbons and strings, stickers, or use rubber glue stick or glitter paint for a personal and artistic touch. You can also use clear bottles and spray them with frosted glass spray you can buy at hardware stores and craft stores.

Wedding Soundtrack CD:
Got a theme song? Why not make your own wedding soundtrack? This is so easy and something your guests will enjoy. Pick songs to tell your love story and burn them in a CD. Personalize the CD sticker label with your thank you note and a photo.

Now doesn’t this makes planning your wedding all the more exciting? Adding personal touch in an inexpensive yet creative and artistic way of making your guests cherish and remember your wedding.
