Congratulations you’re getting married! You and your spouse-to-be now have so many things to plan for your dream wedding that you may not know where to begin. After picking out when, how and where you’d like to get married, you may want to try to start thinking about some things you can make or do ahead of time to help you get that much closer to your perfect day. One activity that has become very popular among couples, especially if you are on a budget, is to create unique wedding favors that go along with your chosen theme to give to your wedding guests on your big day. Here are five great ideas to make cheap (but classy) wedding favors:

Mini Pictures These are one of the easiest (and cheapest) of the wedding favors to make. Find tiny silver or pastel colored frames in a variety of shapes in craft and dollar stores. The fill them with either small pictures of yourselves or print out on small business sized cards your announcements. Some people use them on tables to identify where important members of the wedding party or family will be sitting during the reception. Some of the frames even have little clips on the tops so that balloons or small cards can be attached.

Candy Tins are a wonderful and cheap wedding favor to give to guests on your special day. Find mini tins in craft shops and fill them with bulk candies in the color of your choice. If you want a super romantic version, fill heart shaped tins with red cinnamon candy. For a spring wedding favor, fill tins with pastel mints.

Personalized CDs – What better way to share the love and inspiration of your wedding day than with personalized music CDs that you can create yourself? Buy CDs at your local office store, burn the music tracks that you love and print out low cost white CD labels that state the bride and groom’s names or monogram.

Organza Bags – These silky little bags make wonderful (and cheap) wedding favors. You can find them in all the colors of the rainbow and fill them with anything from mints and nuts to seashells or scented beads. Be as creative as you wish. Guests can take them home to enjoy or display.

Photo Magnets If you are looking for a cheap wedding favor that can be made up as soon as you announce your wedding, then photo magnets may be something you’d like to create as a couple. You can choose a photo and a design that you like, you can order them from an online printing company and get many made in bulk to give out. They’re convenient to send to guests in wedding announcements or to take home with them or to send out in thank you cards after your wedding day.

With a little creativity, you can make sure your wedding favors are as special as your love for each other, even if you are on a budget.
