These favors though, especially if you are giving them to everyone on your guest list, may take a huge slice of your budget. Even if they may be small in size, the quantity may take a toll on your wedding budget.

When you add favor packaging to the cost, it may be hurt your overall budget even more. If you are on the lookout for some ways on how to cut cost on wedding favors, here are some suggestions on wedding favor packaging that is easy on the budget.

To make plain boxes extraordinary, you can paint simple flowing geometric lines or simple images on the sides of the box. Another option is by putting glitter on the box, or putting embellishments such as a little flowers or a heart-shaped charm. Even if you buy these items, the cost will still be a lot less than buying special favor boxes. And sometimes a plain box is actually the best choice for an elegant wedding favor.

– Wholesale empty bottles – Available in wholesale prices, you can purchase the plain ones and tie a small ribbon or lace around it to accessorize it. No need for the fancy bottles or the colored ones as the material or item you will place inside (oil, seeds, etc.) will already make the favor colorful. Just ensure that the bottles are crack and stain free.

– Foil wraps – Best for small edible favors, foil wraps are generally inexpensive and you need only a small piece for each favor. No need to make it bigger than the favor – the favor should fit in the foil wrap exactly, this means you can already estimate how much foil wrap you will need.

– Transparent plastic bags – To delight your guests, place chocolate favors in transparent plastic bags. Bags are relatively cheap and simple to prepare. Just cut a small piece and bundle the favors inside. No need for tape, or to cut and fold. You can also use this for small decorative favors if they are not fragile so the guests can see the favor inside.
