What are some of the favors you did for the wedding im looking to do something simple, but cheap?

Favors aren’t necessary and won’t be missed! But if you want choose edibles: cookie, coffee, honey, etc

I'd look at Party City online, they have quite a few for under $1 each.

These little paper boxes that fit our theme, filled with Lindor truffles. They doubled as escort cards. None were left behind

Also: total cost was 86 cents per favor!

The best favor we did was I booked a caricature artist as a surprise! He was 1 charge, that when divided up between all the guests, came out to about $5.33 per person. Then I made sure he was aware that he can place a tip jar out, and people were tipping him left and right. We also tipped him at the end of the night, so I think he left pretty happy. We actually saw him as we were hanging around town the next day, and he was working another event, and he called out to us and waved, said congrats again, so I don't think he was mad. 😁 And we also got one done as a "wedding gift".

We had quite a few kids, and ours was more of a casual, lawn games-type affair, so it really worked out well for us. I've seen them at fancier weddings near the dance floor, also, so it may work across different themes. Just an idea!

You could also look at Etsy. Sometimes if you find something you like (for example - a personalized flask for Father of Groom) search for that item in the search bar and it will pull up EVERYONE on Etsy selling the same items and you can price check the different stores. I also found it helpful, for total costs, to check out their shipping charges. Some may appear cheaper, but total out to be more. It's not super fun, or easy, but you can end up finding some pretty good deals on there, with a little digging. Good luck!!! Hope you find something perfect!

View Quoted Comment Oh my god! Those are so freaking cute! Did you make those???

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I wish I was skilled enough to make them--I actually found the die-cut flat boxes on Ebay, I just had to fold and fill them

We are making biscotti and wrapping them up nice. I went to a wedding where they made chocolate bark with fruits and nuts and that was really nice. I feel like edible favors are cheap and appreciated

You don’t even need favors!

We’re having a photo booth as our favor in addition to animal crackers ( my wedding is at the zoo )

Skip them. That's super cheap

We are doing coca cola bottles with a bottle opener and a straw... goes with our 50's theme...

We weren't planning on having favors, but my mom and aunt made up little baggies of Hershey's hugs and kisses that were placed at everyone's seats. We didn't end up with many left behind.

View Quoted Comment We also did a photo booth! Was a hit w the guests and we got a cute little guest book too!

I have to check on that

So as my best friend tells me, I am “that extra bride” 😂 FH pocked out our favors, which are blankets ($2.50 a pop and December wedding!) But I am making coasters with each guests name (Cause who wants to lose their drink?) we will have a photo booth (We didn’t really think of this as a favor) and at the end of the night, guests can pick up a bag of hot, fresh, made to order doughnuts as they leave! (Cause I’m always hungry after dancing the night away.)

Were not doing favors, but if you want something cheap, check oriental trading company

We decided not to do favors because they usually get thrown away anyway! We will not be doing those! Saving Money there!

I have little boxes with our names and wedding dates on them filled with butter mints because most people have some sentimental attachment to those things, they’re edible, and it was pretty cheap!
