If you are trying to save the wedding budget you may have thought that wedding favours would be a good area to look, they may not be crucial but they do offer your gratitude to your guests for coming to share your special day. Saving in this area is a possibility but wedding favours don\’t have to be expensive, it really is the thought that counts and couples can be as creative and original as they wish.

Before chopping wedding favours from the budget completely it\’s worth considering that there are options that won\’t break the budget. Firstly, set a budget: if you\’re expecting a large number of guests you will need a large number of wedding favours. If you\’re not planning a massive wedding breakfast then it allows for a little more to be spent on favours.

If you have a particular colour theme then select a wedding favour that compliments the the theme, personalised favours are becoming very popular and gives you a great way to personalise your wedding day and gives a fun little added touch to your day. If you\’re giving each guest a favour then leave them at each place setting or as party of the table centre piece. A good money saving tip is to give a wedding favour per couple, thus halving the amount you will need to buy. Another good way to save whilst not cutting corners is to give the children that are attending a goody bag filled with sweets, a colouring book or small toys to keep them entertained throughout the meal.

As not to order too many favours it\’s important to plan ahead and know your numbers before placing your order. It\’s good to give your small token gifts knowing that they\’ll suit well with the guest recipients. Make sure your chosen favours fit perfectly on a universal basis if possible.

Probably one of the nicer tasks you will have to perform will be deciding what wedding gifts you wish to receive. This may sound easy but be warned, this can be a tricky task well worth spending some quality time and consideration. Soon after you announce your wedding date you\’ll be sure to have family and friends asking what you\’d like as a wedding gift so it\’s wise to start making a list as soon as possible. Thanks to the internet couples can enjoy a massive selection and lots of web sites offer gift lists to prevent your guests all buying you the same wedding gifts, as each guest buys your wedding presents the item will be crossed off the list.

If like many couples you\’ve already setup your home then it\’s likely that the usual gifts have already been bought. It\’s be a waste of money to receive lots of toasters and kettles which is why lots of guests are buying personalised wedding gifts for the happy couple. Not only does this provide something a bit different but it shows how much thought, effort and love they\’ve put into your gift.

Choosing wedding favours and the wedding gifts that you will receive will require some careful planning but with so many inspirational ideas out there it\’s well worth buying a few wedding magazines to help gather some ideas before making your final decision.
