Cheap & Easy Wedding Favours

Wedding favours are an important detail of any wedding ceremony. The favours offer a small memento of the occasion for not just you and the groom, but the guests as well. While favours are a necessary part of your wedding, they don't have to take up a large part of the budget. There are several easy and cost effective things you can do for wedding favours including:

• Confectionery Tins: These small sweets tins can include mints or chocolates and can be personalised with the wedding information.

• Favour Boxes with Cookies: You can create your own favour boxes, personalised with the wedding details and make a bunch of home-made cookies, in a variety of your choice. Include a certain number of cookies per box.

• Personalised CDs: Choose a few songs both you and your future husband enjoy or make CDs with all the songs to be played at the wedding. You can do this yourself with a printer, some labels and paper, and a CD burner, or you can hire a company to do it for you.

Depending on the time of year or the theme of the wedding, there are many other ideas for wedding favours, such as:

• Hot Chocolate: Perfect for a Winter wedding, hot chocolate is very easy to make yourself. With a bit of powdered milk, baking cocoa, and sugar, you've got everything you need. Grab some small bags and decorative ribbon and you're done.

• Seed Packets: Perfect for a Spring wedding, seed packets are easy to make yourself without breaking the bank, and very eco-friendly. Enjoy the start of your new life together by starting some new plant life, too.

• Autumn Leaves: Anything that has to do with the Autumn leaves of the season is a wonderful favour.

When you're trying to decide what kind of wedding favours to use at your ceremony, answering a few questions may help you come up with the inspiration you've been looking for.

• Where did you meet?

• What are your hobbies?

• Is there a theme to the ceremony or reception?

• What activities do you and your fiancée enjoy?

The possibilities for wedding favours are only limited to your imagination. Remember, it is your special day. Making your own favours will not only save you money, but it will give you a great pre-wedding experience.
