Preparing a wedding takes a lot of time, effort and money to put together. As this is a major and special event, this is also just probably the same time where you would need to get in touch florists, caterers, printing shops and others – suppliers you don’t normally transact and interact with. However, you can put in something familiar with your wedding preparations – how about going to your local supermarket or grocery to find wedding favors? They’re easy, convenient, and as expected, they can be very cheap as well.
With supermarkets piling on stocks, it’s easy to find wedding favors that you can easily purchase instead of being told that it’s out of season, or worse out of your budget. Here are some ideas that you can use as wedding favors, and can easily be bought at your local supermarket.
Lip balm from the cosmetics section of the grocery can be made into a personalized wedding favor by placing label stickers on the lip balm. They are available in certain colors to reflect the flavor variant, so choose one that is the same or complementing your color motif.
There are edible favors that are both yummy and inexpensive. Your top choice would be chocolates. Whether nutty, fruity, chewy or crunchy, chocolates are a sure treat for people of all ages. You can buy some in foil wraps, plastic, boxes or some in trays. Depending on the theme and color motif of your wedding, choose a packaging that is complimentary as well. If you have a floral theme wedding, your best choice would be chocolates in transparent plastic and tied with ribbons or laces in pastel colors. For a renaissance wedding or something with a period theme, buy chocolates in foil wraps to give it that ‘classic look’.
Small packs of coffee are one of the most popular edible favors as well. Choose a brand that your guests will appreciate, so go for the gourmet ones, to make it more special.
Candy pillows are fun to give-away. Buy small packs and tie the together and of course, put your favor labels either through mini cards or hang tags.
In the supermarket, of course there are lots of practical favors available. Soaps, coasters, and specialty pens are available and they are inexpensive and are most probably stocked in your local supermarket. Make them personalized by adding a sticker with print of the wedding details.
In making wedding favors, all you need is just some creativity and a little bit of practicality can go a long way as well. When budgets are stretched thin, it is important to find all means possible to save money yet not lose your style or compromise quality. You can just put on a little ribbon, a little lace and a whole lot of warm and lovely thoughts and you can make your wedding favors truly special for your wedding day.
