Should You Use Discount Wedding Favors?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 | Frugal Shopping with

Planning a wedding involves what seems to be a never ending list of details to take care of. One of those is choosing what gifts to give your guests at the reception of your wedding. Because the costs can begin to mount some people begin to consider using discount wedding favors. Let’s take a look at why you still can get the results you are hoping for using these popular favors.

Choosing the theme of your wedding is one of the most important things you do. This is where you inject your personality into your wedding. If you have a flair for decorations you can add it to your wedding and wedding reception.

The favors you give to your guests can be a part of that. These gifts are the perfect addition to an already perfect day. Now you get to direct the spotlight towards your guests and away from yourselves.

Thankfully discount wedding favors can be just as effective as ones that cost more. What many people do not realize when planning their wedding is that your guests do not care how much you spend on these gifts.

It is the thought that counts. When you plan in advance you are able to shop for souvenirs that match your wedding theme and your budget at the same time.

For example did you know that you could get flip flop favors at a discount if you are using a more casual theme. You can do the very same thing with a wine bottle stopper if your reception is going for a more elegant theme.

If you will plan in advance you can find discount wedding favors without breaking your budget. You do not want to add any extra cost if it is not necessary. However, you still need gifts for the wedding reception. This is why it is good to use discount favors.

When you are shopping for wedding favors at a discount you want to make sure that you shop around. Also, if you have a theme for your wedding you want to make sure that the wedding favors will go with the theme.

One example might be to give out cake candles which you can get in a color matching your colors at your reception.

Another example would be if you are going to have a beach wedding than you can find beach wedding favors that will be beach related. This might include beach stylish sailboats or candles that would add to your beach wedding decor. Shopping online is a great place to get more ideas.

When buying favors for your reception at a discount you will not be purchasing anything that is of cheap quality. Most of the times you can find inexpensive items that are on sale because they have been overstocked or the store is trying to get rid of their remaining inventory.

    I’m wary of wedding favors after doing a lot of thrift store shopping this summer. You don’t know how many countless mugs, swans, ice buckets and numerous other discarded wedding favors I’ve come across.

    My friend, in lieu of wedding favors, made a donation to the American Cancer Society and left a little card on each guest’s table saying so, with envelopes in case the guest would also like to donate. I think this is a great way to do favors nowadays, especially since so many people have enough posessions already. How many more ceramic swans will they need?
