Personalized Cheap Wedding Favors

These ideas will help you create and give personalized cheap wedding favors to your guests, but they'll never know.
You want to save money on your wedding favors but you don't want them to look cheap. What do you do? The good news is brides have been using cheap wedding favor ideas for decades and most of their guests were never the wiser. Below are some ideas for personalized cheap wedding favors.

Create a Stamp

The easiest way to create personalized cheap wedding favors is to create your own rubber stamp. You can then add your stamp to cards, matchbooks, and any number of other items to give it that unique touch.

Creating a stamp is easier than you might think. Here are a few things you are going to need:

-A rubber eraser large enough for your image or text
-Carbon paper
-Pencil
-Craft knife
-Glue
-Other small, sharp tools
-Block of wood
-Ink

First, you create the image you want and transfer it onto the rubber eraser using carbon paper. Once that's done, you need to carve the eraser so the image stands out from the rest of the eraser. You'll need to do this using the craft knife and other sharp tools. Sometimes needles can do a good job of getting into the tiny crevices.

Once you've cut out the stamp, test it using the ink. If you're happy, glue the eraser to a block of wood and start creating your personalized cheap wedding favors.

Best Ideas for Saving Money

Now that you have your rubber stamp, you can purchase some type of cheap wholesale wedding favor for your guests. Candy is sometimes the best choice. The bulk price is affordable, and you can control quantity to keep the price of the favors within your budget. If you choose candy, create small bags, tie with ribbon, and attach a card stamped with your own personalized design to make it unique.

You can buy a wide range of other cheap wedding favor ideas available at wholesale prices, too. Matchbooks, for example, can be bought for as little as a quarter and personalizing them doesn't cost much more than that.

Here's another idea for personalized cheap wedding favors. If you can find a good price on wine glasses or shot glasses, you can purchase etching cream to add your wedding date, monograms, or other design to the glass. You won't need much in terms of supplies and the project is a fairly easy craft project.
