Things You'll Need:
- votive candles

Step 1
Pick up the supplies for your inexpensive wedding favors at your local Michaels Craft store. Check your weekly ads for coupons!

Step 2
Go down the wedding isle and pick up tulle circles, white or ivory is good but you can do with other colors depending on your wedding colors. In the same isle, you can find either tags or charms that say "thank you". Purchase however many you will need for all your wedding guest favors. Pick up some thin ribbon that matches your wedding colors.
Go to the candle area and purchase votive candles in either your wedding colors or white/ivory. -
Step 3
To assemble your homemade wedding favors, place a votive candle in the center of a tulle circle. Gather the edges of the tulle up above the candle and tie with a piece of ribbon. Slide a thank you charm over the ribbon, and then tie a bow.

on 1/9/2008 yeah the cost of getting married is ridiculous. There's so many things you can do yourself to cut the costs down. This is a perfect example.

on 1/7/2008 That is a wonderful idea. I only wish when I got married, almost 10 years ago, there were a Michaels in my city to do this awesome suggestion.

on 1/5/2008 This is a great idea and the smell is so wonderful. Little cheesy sayings on paper punched and laced with ribbon make great favors for any kind of party. Try this one on for size, "You light up my life."
