Step 1
Determine what your budget is for wedding favors. A way to do this is to take the number of guests and multiply it by the cost of a single wedding favor (150 X $2.00 = $300).
You can then get a range of what you want to spend on wedding favors ($1.50 to $2.50 per favor for example using the numbers above). -
Step 2
Think about the type of wedding favor you would like to have. Match it up with your wedding theme and the colors you have chosen. Once you have a few ideas you can start shopping.
-
Step 3
Your first stop for wedding favors should be online websites. Frequently websites will have special pricing for certain favors, and you can easily find favors at a good discount.
When you visit a website, look for their page of Specials or On Sale favors. Typically these are favors that might not have sold well or are last years style and they need to make room for new merchandise. -
Step 4
Ebay can be a good resource, but you may have to look hard to find what you are looking for.
Many times bridal shops and websites will put their left over or extra wedding favors up for bid. Also, brides that ordered too many or cancelled their wedding might be looking to unload their favors. -
Step 5
Bridal shops, like websites, also mark down their surplus wedding favors. This is a little more labor intense than online, but you can frequently get good deals if you search them out on foot.
-
Step 6
Making your own wedding favors can save you money if you have the time and creativity to do it yourself. Get friends and family to help.
You can find materials at warehouse and craft stores. Again, look for deals in the clearance isle.
