I am having trouble coming up with ideas for inexpensive wedding favor for approximately 200 people. I really like the idea of giving a tree seedling in a test tube as a favor but am afraid that could get costly..Does anybody have any suggestions?.Thanks
I thought about the idea of giving tree seedlings. It's a great idea and you could probably make it cheaper by eliminating the test tube and just wrap the bottom of the seedling in burlap and tie it in a simple know with raffia that you can buy at a craft store. Go for it. I also posted another idea for favors that I am doing for my own wedding on the "Are wedding favors a waste of money?" message board (might actually be a different message title but it's along those lines)
How about seed packets (flowers)?? Very cheap and you could print up little envelopes (paper wraps - I've done it before - very easy) with your names & date and a cute little saying & print them out on your home computer & wrap it with a ribbon.
How about 120 individually wrapped buttermints for 5 dollars plus shipping? Each wrapper reads "Thank you for sharing our special day." One of my friends had these at her wedding and they were very classy.
I found these at the website for Oriental Trading Company.
It has the cheapest prices on favors, favor boxes and bags I've ever seen. They're cheaper than eBay--and I'm an eBay addict! You can go to their site and click on "shop wedding" and then click on "favors". I bought all my plastic champagne flutes from them, including a white "autograph bear" for my guests to sign at the reception. It will be such a fun keepsake!
We are having white favor boxes (3x3x2) filled with hershey kisses and tied with ribbon. We are also having 200 guests so I was looking for something that was not going to bankrupt me. I got the boxes from papemart.com for $9.00 per case of 100.
