Strategies To Preserve Money When Purchasing Discount Wedding Favors

You’re planning your wedding with high anticipation of your lifetime together. The costs are going to be hard on your pocketbook when you take into account reserving the venue of your wedding ceremony, hiring a professional wedding photographer, and the myriad additional wedding preparations you’ll need to harness.

So given the overall expenses, are there ways you can reduce them without sacrificing quality? Yes, you can consider the option of wholesale wedding favors.

You don’t have to spend inordinate sums of money on expensive items in a local craft store or bridal bouquet. Instead, you can buy your favors wholesale and keep that money for other things like your photographer, DJ or flowers.

For hot wedding favor ideas that you can do with low cost products, read on.

Sugared Almonds

Sugared almonds are a classic and traditional wedding favor. Tradition says that five almonds are placed in a box or wrapped in fabric to symbolize happiness, health, wealth and fertility. It’s also said that a sugared almond is also bitter sweet, much like the bitter sweetness of married life.

What’s great about this favor is that you can pick up wholesale sugared almonds at most bulk food stores. At $10 or $15 a pound, you will have enough almonds to provide classic favors for every wedding guest. Then, pick up a few yards of tulle and ribbon at a local fabric shop and you have your packaging and wrapping. Simply, wrap five almonds in a small circle of tulle and tie with a ribbon.

Candles

White candles make great wholesale wedding favors because they can be purchased very inexpensively and easily customized. You should be able to find a box of 50 white candles for as little as $5.00, with most brides spending no more than $10 to $15 to furnish their entire guest list with favors. You can also order votive or fancier candles from a wholesale supplier and still save money.

Of course, you can’t just hand each guest a plain candle, but you can easily customize them all. Start by writing your name and marriage date on a small piece of paper or ribbon and then wrapping each candle with your customized band. Alternatively, you can use ribbon to attach a small note that thanks your guests for attending your marriage ceremony.

Bottle Your Own

If you live in Vermont, you could bottle your own maple syrup. If you live in California, you might bottle your own wine. If you live in the South, you may want local preserves.

You can either purchase wholesale bottles, direct from the manufacturer, online or look for preserve products and jars at your local bulk store. For less than $0.50 a container, you get a personalized favor that reflects both you and your home.

So, before you splash out on expensive wedding favors that say little about you as a couple, consider saving money with wholesale wedding favors that you can personalize to match your colors, styles and personalities.
