Items like these picture frames can make great cheap wedding favors!

If you're looking for beautiful but cheap wedding favors, you can find lots of options at your local dollar store!

Instructions

1. 

   Your first step is to start early so you can make the best decisions without being rushed. Scour the dollar store for items like picture frames, small photo albums, coin banks, painted boxes, bookmarks, teddy bears, candles, vases, key chains and packs of note cards. Consider things that you can wrap, as this leads to the next step:

2. After you've chosen your item, if it's in a box you want to consider wrapping it for the best presentation. Get the nicest wrapping paper you can afford and wrap each favor individually. For items like coin banks or teddy bears, consider tying a large fancy ribbon around the middle of it to dress it up.

3. Make sure your guests know you have favors available to them or they'll go to waste. Even cheap wedding favors should be presented as more than an afterthought! Have a nice table by the exit door set up with them or assign a young relative to hand them out after the dinner.

Tips & Warnings

• You can talk to the owner of the dollar store about buying a case of your items so that you don't need to buy them individually. They may give you a small discount, but if not at least you'll have your items in a nice box so they're easier to transport home!
