Finding very cheap wedding gifts that still impress your guests can be a tremendous challenge. However, gifts for your guests don’t have to cost a fortune to be elegant and beautiful. There are a wide variety of beautiful pre-made inexpensive wedding gifts to choose from. To save more money, you can even make them yourself. Brides on a budget know that weddings are expensive, so they are looking for creative ways to save. DIY gifts are the perfect option for using creativity to save money.
These four inexpensive wedding gifts are great ways to show guests your gratitude and love, without breaking your budget.
- Homemade coasters They’re great for wedding gifts on a budget, and your guests are sure to wear them for years to come. Beautiful handmade coasters can be created using ceramic tile found at your local hardware store, a flat brush, a picture of the bride and groom or one that matches the wedding, ribbon and decoupage medium. To make the coaster, apply a thin coat of decoupage medium to the tile, place your chosen image on the tile, and smooth gently to remove bubbles. If you need a large number of coasters, it is easier to apply the images to each tile before proceeding to the next step. Once the decoupage medium has dried, apply another two coats of the decoupage medium to each tile, allowing the glue to dry between coats. Finish off the look of elegance by tying a matching ribbon around each coaster.
- Edible favors like candy or cookies they are always precious and inexpensive gifts that all guests will love. Choose packaging that fits your budget, such as small to-go boxes, decorative gift bags, or tulle bought from a fabric store for a few dollars a yard. Candy options can be Hershey’s kisses, jelly beans, M & Ms, or any colorful candy. Put a handful of candy in each package, seal the package, and tie a ribbon around the container for a personal touch. Cookies are also perfect for a tight budget. Cookies can be homemade or purchased from a local bakery. Place a cookie or two in the desired packaging and tie them with a ribbon or twine.
- Candles They are a great favor for any wedding theme because they are available in different colors, shapes, and sizes. When shopping for candle favors, choosing inexpensive votive candles will save you a great deal of money. They are usually available individually or can be purchased in bulk. To add color to guest seating, if budget allows, place candles in candle holders, tie with a colored ribbon, and attach one to each spot. Votive candle holders can easily be personalized with the couple’s name and wedding date by printing the information from the computer on the address labels and attaching them to the glass candle holder.
- Plantable favors, for eco-friendly grooms or weddings that take place during the spring and fall seasons, they are easy to turn into cheap and fun wedding gifts. To make plantable flower seed favors, you will need a mix of wildflower seeds, small boxes or envelopes, and twine. In each package, place about ΒΌ cup of wildflower seeds and tie a piece of twine around the box or make a small loop of twine for the envelopes. If you wish, personalize it by attaching a little poem or the wedding date. Gifts can be placed at each location or in a decorative container for guests to take with them when leaving the reception.
