While the wedding day is special and every bride wants to make it unique, many times the budget doesn’t allow her to choose items without troubling about their price. There are ways to reduce the expenses without reducing the quality and beauty of wedding favors and one option that should be considered is that of offering homemade wedding favors.
Edible wedding favors are the couples’ preferences when it comes to offering something that is homemade. Candies, chocolates and cookies can be wrapped in beautiful packages, thus making their commonness fade away. For chocolates and cookie, use a family recipe that is significant to you and state its symbolism on the favors’ packaging.

Popcorn balls are inexpensive and allow you to be creative and to incorporate your wedding’s colors in the cheap homemade wedding favors. Use food coloring to dye the popcorn in your desired hues and press it while it is hot into mini molds, allowing it to receive different shapes, such as butterflies, flowers and hearts. As it has now interesting shapes and also bright colors, it surely has a strong and pleasant visual effect that should be emphasized by wrapping the favors in transparent cellophane.
Packaging can make the difference between simple and plain favors and creative and beautiful little presents. Packaging can be affordable if you assume the responsibility of embellishing simple white boxes with elements that add style. Tulle, tissue paper, cut-outs, ribbons and beads can be purchased at affordable prices and have the ability of changing the appearance of wedding favors.

Make wedding favors that can embellish tables during the reception and that are useful for guests after the reception is over. Design place cards that have hues which can be encountered in the other table decorations and adorn them by gluing cut-outs onto the cards. Rice paper is perfect for creating the cut-outs, as it matches beautifully the card’s usual paper and it has a texture that adds a touch of richness and style to the place cards. Purchase flower seeds that have a special symbolism to you, as they will grow into your preferred flowers or they will give birth to flowers that were used in the reception’s floral decorations, then sprinkle on the cut-outs a few flower seeds. You will need a washable glue with which your will cover the cut-outs’ surface.
