The question of whether or not you have to give wedding favors to your guests is a very common one. However, there is no easy answer to this question. While it is true that you technically are not required to give your guests any type of wedding favor at your wedding, it is also true that your guests will likely be expecting to receive a favor. This is what makes the matter more complicated. You may not be obligated to give out wedding favors but your guests may be offended if you decide not to do so. This article will take a look at the question of whether or not you have to give wedding favors to your guests and will provide some tips for giving out wedding favors on even the tightest budget.

As we discussed in the opening paragraph, wedding favors are in no way obligatory but that does not mean that guests still do not expect to receive a wedding favor when they attend a wedding. There are a couple of reasons for this. One of the most obvious reasons why guests expect to receive a wedding favor is that it is such a common practice that the majority of the weddings they have attended in the past have included a wedding favor. The other reason why guests expect to receive a wedding favor is that the purpose of a wedding favor is for the couple to express their gratitude to the guests for attending the wedding and reception. Although the couple will likely still send out thank you cards to all of the guests after the wedding, giving a small wedding favor is another way the couple can thank their guests for their support.

You may wonder why a couple would consider not giving wedding favors at their wedding. In most cases the simple answer to this question is that the couple is on a very tight budget and feels as though purchasing wedding favors for each of the guests will put them over budget. This is a very valid concern as it is important to remember that although wedding favors may be fairly inexpensive, this unit price must be multiplied by the number of guests in attendance.

For example you may select a favor which costs only $2 per favor but you may be expecting 400 guests at your wedding. This means the costs of the favors alone will be $800 which may not even include the costs associated with shipping or wrapping the wedding favors. While we certainly understand the importance of budgets we believe the couple should incorporate a budget for wedding favors into their overall budget before the planning begins. This will help to ensure there is enough money available to give each guest a wedding favor as a token of gratitude.

When the couple is concerned about budget it is important to remember that wedding favors do not need to be expensive or extravagant. One simple way to make wedding favors more affordable is to give a wedding favor of a single flower to each guest. If you are already planning to have floral centerpieces you can discuss your options with your florist beforehand. You will likely be able to negotiate and affordable price for this favor because you are already purchasing your centerpieces from the florist. Selecting one flower used in the centerpiece and having your florist supply enough of these to give as favors is a really nice way to tie the centerpieces and the favors together. Alternately you might want to give each of your guests an artificial version of one of the flowers used in your centerpiece. These can be rather inexpensive and can also serve as a lasting reminder of your wedding.

Another way to keep wedding favors more affordable is to discuss your options with wedding favor distributors carefully. Many of them likely have closeout items available as well as discount items. Closeout items are items which have been discontinued but the distributor may have enough in stock for all of the guests at your wedding. Additionally, they may be willing to offer you a discount if you are purchasing a large number of favors.

Depending on the size of your wedding the budget for your wedding favors can be very important. This is important because you may be planning on allowing for one favor for each guest or one for each couple. Whichever you decide to do, if you are having a large number of guests it may greatly impact the amount you can afford to spend on each favor. If you are only have a few guests you may be able to splurge on more expensive favors. However, if you are having a large number of guests on a limited budget you should consider searching for budget conscience wedding favor ideas.

Candles are one of the simplest ideas for budget conscience wedding favors. You can find simple candles available at very affordable prices. You might even consider purchasing personalized ribbons to tie pretty bows around the candles. These ribbons can usually be ordered and may include your names and the wedding date. This may sound like a pricey item but if you purchase these ribbons on a reel instead of precut it can be very affordable. A simple taper candle tied with your personalized ribbon can be placed at each place setting to create a really inexpensive wedding favor.

Candy is another budget conscience wedding favor idea. You find a number of different ways to give out candy as an inexpensive wedding favor like:

1. One way to do this is to purchase a pretty fabric and some ribbon, cut the fabric into small squares, put a few small pieces of candy on each square and pull the corners together and tie with the ribbon. This is not only a very inexpensive wedding favor idea but it is also a very simple idea which can be assembled at the last minute.

2. Another way to use candy as a wedding favor is to purchase small tins and fill them with the candy of your choice. You can purchase the candy in bulk to keep the price down and separate the candy into small portions for each guest.

3. A final way to give candy as a wedding favor is to buy candy bars with personalized wrappers. The wrappers can include your name and wedding date and even a picture of the two of you. This can be very affordable especially if you are ordering in bulk and are only using one design for the wrappers.

Packets of flower or vegetable seed also make great wedding favors which are also very inexpensive. You can stack up a few different types of seeds and tie each with a ribbon to create an attractive presentation which will not blow your budget. Another way to give flower or vegetable seeds as a wedding favor is to put the seeds in a small pot. The pot does not have to be big enough to grow the flower or vegetable it is merely a symbolic gift so it can be rather small. The pot only needs to be large enough to hold the packets of seeds. This is important because small pots can be purchased rather inexpensively while larger pots will be significantly more expensive.

Another great idea for a wedding favor which is also very affordable is pen with the names of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date inscribed on the pen. These can often be purchased for very little and can be paired with stationary and a note encouraging your guests to stay in touch. This is such a great idea for a wedding favor because it is something your guests can really use plus by including some stationary and a note encouraging the guest to stay in touch you are letting them know you truly value their friendship. You might want to even consider including a self addressed stamped envelop with the favor so your guest will be more likely to follow your suggestion and send you at least a short note after the wedding.

Bridal accessories for the miniature bride are just as important as the accessories for the bride. Miniature bride accessories include the dress, headpiece, bouquet or basket of flower petals, shoes and jewelry. Because miniature brides are usually younger, they need to have a dress that is going to be easy for them to move in, therefore, something that touches the floor may not be fitting. The miniature bride dresses are normally ankle length and made from a satin or cotton material. They are the most adorable dresses and are usually only worn once or handed down to other miniature brides.

 The shoes are going to be the next problem, you want something nice and probably a satin shoe or leather patent shoe, but you are going to want something comfortable as well. The miniature bride (flower girl) and the miniature groom (ring bearer) stand throughout the ceremony and they need something comfortable. You do not want something too tight and something that hinder their ability to walk or stand. The bridal accessories include the headpiece for a miniature bride. You want something that will fit their head properly, but also something light so it does not cause them stress or an uncomfortable feeling. They usually wear a head ring of flowers or a ring of garland. This of course depends on your type of wedding.

Jewelry is always optional with a miniature bride. This is usually a personal preference, but usually little girls wear earrings if they have pierced ears. Something dainty and delicate is appropriate. They can wear a dainty bracelet as well. They normally will carry a bouquet or today, we see many of them carrying a basket with rose petals or other flower petals. They will need a basket that is small enough to fit their proportion but also big enough to carry enough petals to make it all the way down the aisle.

When a miniature bride accepts the honor of being a little bride, they are all excited and want to do everything right away. If the wedding is months away, you might need to wait until closer to the wedding before altering the dress. They made have growing spurt and the dress could possibly not fit correctly. This holds true for the shoes as well. Bridal accessories for the miniature bride are just as important and need to be carefully planned. This holds true for the ring bearer as well.

Once the big day arrives, the miniature bride will need to have her hair done with everyone else and she will also want to have her nails done if she is old enough. This is all a part of getting ready and the miniature bride wants to be included in everything you do. As for the bridal accessories, you should have everything she needs to get ready and walk down the aisle. Do not have her get dressed to early or she could become anxious.
