Cheap Wedding Favor Packaging

Especially during Christmas, where we spend money and time buying gift wrapping materials, then time and effort in wrapping them. Then come gift-giving time, the wrapper is just torn apart (well, that is the only fun way anyway to open a gift).

Packaging or wrapping is important when it comes to gift-giving. However, if it is a wedding we are talking about where the budget has to be controlled and monitored, one should find a way to cut cost and stay away from unnecessary expenses.

Wedding favors may generally cost a little, but the number of favors being ordered may hurt your budget. Add to that the packaging and sometimes the cost almost doubles. So how do you cut the expense on wedding favors? Here are some options on cheap wedding favor packaging items that you might consider.

Best used for small favors, foil wraps are cheap and are readily available, no need to pre-order. Just tie a small ribbon and the favor is good to go. Place a mini card or a hang tag to even act as embellishment. Do not use a sticker label as it may just crumple and become unreadable.

Plastic bags, the small transparent ones, are best used for food favors. To entice the guests, place colorful favors in these bags and the color of the favor inside will liven up your package.

Empty bottles make for a unique packaging, yet the cost is not that high compared to what you might expect. Buy them in bulk so you can get a discount price and just use small flowers as embellishments.

Plain boxes can easily be adorn by hand-painting them or putting lace or ribbon around it.

Apart from these wedding ideas, look for some aspects in your wedding where there could be cheaper alternatives.

There is no need to blow your budget out of proportion when it comes to wedding favors. It is better to do that with the reception food or the wedding band or wedding singer than the wedding favors, because while you can cut on cost, the quality and look of the wedding favor will not change. What is important is that you have enough time because the more planning time you have, the more chances you get to save up on other wedding costs.
