Let's face it, weddings are expensive. In this day and age and with the economy in its present state, this can be a huge problem for lots of couples getting ready to tie the knot. The stress level of all the planning is enough as it is, without the constant concern over the costs that seem to be adding up at an alarming rate. It's important to know that not every last detail has to be so stressful. If you are looking for a good place to start saving money, why not start with the little things? Some of those little things can really add up over the course of the entire planning process, and something that you thought would provide you with some relief may become one of your biggest sources of frustration. Let's see if we can remove some of that frustration by finding some small ways to keep money in your pocket. Finding economical wedding favors can be just the thing we need to get the ball rolling.

The only thing that is really holding you back here is your imagination. As long as you can think of a way to tie your wedding favors to the actual wedding somehow, you will have a winner on your hands. Also, the more personalized it is the better it will come across. I think that's really the key here. You can take any ordinary item such as candles, coasters, flower seeds, or maybe even something you crafted yourself. As long as you make it your own and make it relevant to the occasion, you're bound to impress. Just don't go overboard, and keep it simple and you may just come up with something that will rival or surpass anything that you could have shelled out big bucks for.

Some other ideas may be favor boxes or tins filled with candies or cookies, picture frames with photos of the happy couple, or even small flower arrangements. Odds are you probably know your guests well enough to know what they like, so just choose accordingly and I'm sure they will be pleased. After all, it isn't about getting lavish gifts or priceless collectibles. This is your day and they will support you no matter how you choose to say thank you. So the best piece of advice I can give is to just give something from your heart. You can never go wrong with that, and they will appreciate you even more so for it.
