[Music]
hey hey blushing brides welcome back to
my channel for those of you who are new
here welcome and congrats on your
engagement you're gonna have to bear
with me a little bit today
I am six months pregnant so I got super
out of breath when I'm filming these
videos so hopefully that's not too
distracting but yeah just stick with me
a couple of months we'll get through it
so today we are going to talk about 12
ideas for easy and cheap wedding favors
brides end up spending way too much time
and way too much energy on their wedding
favors and way too much money and then
people end up not even taking them and
if they do take them then they end up
just throwing them away or putting them
in a closet somewhere or something the
favor idea is that I'm gonna share with
you in this video our favors that your
guests will actually take and that
they'll actually keep and actually use
that they'll really like like I said
these are easy and cheap favors but you
can elevate them depending on the budget
that you have or the time that you have
to put into them so if you are on the
hunt for some easy and cheap wedding
favors that your guests will actually
like hit that thumbs up button and let's
get started my first favor that I'm
gonna share with you has been a guest
favorite every time I've done this
guests have always taken them they've
asked if they could take more than one
and they love them and that is bottle
openers so I usually recommend that you
do not personalize the favors
specifically on the favors because
guests don't really want stuff with your
name all over it I mean there's some
guests who like really like want a
keepsake from your wedding like your
grandparents and your parents but you
can like make them a picture frame or
something but every single one of your
guests doesn't want stuff branded with
your wedding stuff so the favors that
they're actually gonna love and actually
gonna keep around are ones
that don't have your name all over them
so I highly recommend if you want to add
personalization to your favors that you
do it with a tag instead of spending the
extra money to have stuff engraved so
bottle openers are super easy to add a
really cute tag too and then you can
really do any kind of bottle opener you
could do a fancier one I'll link a bunch
of options below you could do a fancier
one that goes along with your theme or
you could just do some cheaper ones from
like Amazon and tie a cute tag and a
cute ribbon around it that goes with
your wedding colors and your wedding
theme
my next favor be done very cheaply if
you do it yourself and that is
succulents I love this idea I think it's
so cute and I think it's totally
something that people will keep around
for a while especially because they
don't die easily I'm going to be able to
really keep plants alive but my
succulents always live so yeah I think
this is a super cute idea I love like
the terra cotta pots and you could just
paint on them wet love grow you could
get a little stencil to make it easy and
it's also super cute to tie a little tag
around these as well with a ribbon that
matches the colors and theme of your
wedding and just have the tag say let
love grow and then your names in your
wedding date this is something that you
can also put on your tables and so it
adds a lot to your table scape when
guests come in and sit down and then
it's like in front of their face so they
don't forget to take one at the end of
the night
another super super cute idea that I
have done for one of my weddings was
have the succulents in a teacup so I
added like tons of character and it was
really beautiful
and if you pull it like that on the
table that would add so much especially
if you're going pretty basic on your
floral and your tablescapes that would
add a lot it's also a super cute idea
for like bridal shower and basically any
party I love love the succulent
idea if you do not have the time and
energy to sit there and plant succulents
and put this together you can totally
have your florist do it for you and put
them together for you obviously that's
just gonna cost a little bit more my
next one is always a huge hit with
guests and it's so cheap it's super
cheap super easy to do and super easy to
incorporate in any theme and that is
snacks specifically I like the idea of
doing like trail mix or something
something that you can put in a little
bag and then you just tie a ribbon
around it with a little tag that says
your wedding day and your names and some
sort of thank-you or like happy trails
is cute especially if you're doing kind
of like a woodsy theme or an more
outdoor theme but there's lots of ways
that you can incorporate your theme into
this idea as well another one that I've
seen that was super cute my cousin
actually did this at their wedding they
did chocolate-covered coffee beans and
it just said thanks for being here but
like be EAN like being here I thought
that was super cute and it was like they
did just cute little colored bags so
there's lots of different ideas you can
do here you can do it for super cheap or
you can have it a little bit elevated
depending on what you put the trail mix
in like you could do little jars or
something if you wanted something a
little bit nicer so this is a perfect
favor guests just love them and they
always take them and you're not gonna
waste too much time or money putting
them together my next idea is super cute
and pretty cheap and easy to do as well
and that is little candles so it'd be
really cool if you know of a local place
that makes candles that you could kind
of do like a local theme the like
handmade candle look is really cute and
then you could just tie a little tag
around it I like the idea of doing a tag
that says keep the fire burning and then
like your names in your wedding date
like I said this is something that
guests will be more likely to keep
around and more likely to like use if it
doesn't have your name
all over it so either you could do like
something fancier like a local handmade
crafted candle with the tag or you could
do something a lot cheaper obviously
find something on Amazon and put these
together with your own little tags and
ribbons my next idea is another huge hit
and that is do little shooters that have
a tag around them that say take a shot
we tied the knot so you could just do
just the shooters it's a little tag or
you could go next level and do like a
shooter and a soda like a glass
coca-cola bottle with a ribbon tied
around it that's super cute too
my next idea along with the shooters
idea is you could do little mini
champagne bottles so this one you can do
you could just get the champagne bottles
and do your own tabs and ribbon or
there's like tons of places online where
you can print your own labels and so you
could just peel the labels off of them
and have them actually be personalized
if you're into that and you want to put
in the money and the time and effort to
do that this one's going to probably be
a little bit more pricey than the other
favors that I've suggested so if you
wanted to do it for your bridal shower
instead of for like your whole wedding
you could do that as well but it's a
super cute idea I love it if you're
finding these ideas helpful please hit
that thumbs up button and also be sure
to share this video with your bride
friends as soon as you're done watching
my next idea is perfect for destination
weddings but you could do it for any
wedding and its little hangover kits so
I did this for a favor for my best
friend's bachelorette party and it was
super cute they actually have bags that
you can get on Amazon that say like
hangover kit and it says like in
sickness and in health it's super super
cute
I'll link those below and then I just
put in there like a few things I'll link
my bachelorette video that shows
everything I put in there but just
basically like chapstick advil stuff
like that that's super cute idea
especially if you have a heavier
drinking crowd
and this is something that guests will
love it's creative it's cute but it also
does take a little extra time and energy
to put together my next one is another
kind of snack idea but it's a little bit
elevated from like a trail mix and that
is macaroons I am obsessed with all
things macaroon but little favors you
can get like personalized boxes for them
so if you just have your baker who's
already doing your cake do these for you
it kind of keeps it simple you can also
order them online if you're on a budget
you could just do some plain simple
boxes and maybe a little tag with your
names and your wedding date and like a
little thank-you on them or you can also
order like personalized boxes or special
boxes that go along with your theme as
well totally depend on how much effort
and time and money you want to put into
this my next idea is perfect for those
DI wires out there who are ready to put
in some work but I think you could also
buy these two and that is little cookie
mixes like the little mason jars with
the different ingredients in them and
you can do like recipe for love or
something on the tag and your names and
your wedding date so this one can be
done on the cheap
if you put them together yourself that's
probably going to take some time and
some energy so be sure you plan for that
if you do want to do this yourself but
that way you could really personalize
them and maybe add like M&Ms that match
the color of your wedding or something
like that and then pick out the jars
that go along with your theme and the
ribbons and the tags and everything if
you don't have the time to do this I'm
pretty sure you can buy in bulk pre-made
ones I'll try to find something on
Amazon and link it below I think I saw a
company that does these or you can order
a bunch of them and then you could just
add the tags if you didn't want to take
the time to actually sit there and
measure out ingredients and put these
together yourself but this is a super
cute idea you could do cookies but you
could also do like pancake
mix or in the if you have like a fall or
winter wedding hot cocoa mix is super
cute with like the marshmallows and you
could do that in like a little mug that
would be super super cute and I think
that could be done pretty cheaply as
well another idea that is super cute is
do little olive oils and these are
something that you could find like a
really cool like local person to do or
something there's like lots of really
cool like olive oil stores that have
like all these different flavors and
everything so you could have like a
special one for your wedding or you
could do this yourself if you wanted to
there's so many ways you could go with
this but I think that that's a super
cute idea and I'm sure there's something
you could think of something cute to put
on the tag as well this next idea is
something that guests love and
definitely keep around as well and that
is little luggage tags so this could be
done kind of as your escort card or as
like on the table as their place set on
their place setting and so you could do
it like how'd it match the theme or the
colors of your wedding and then have
each won already personalized luggage
tags are something that everybody needs
and it's a little bit unique and it will
add tons of personality to your wedding
especially if you're like really into
travel I think that adds your
personality into the favors as well
and that's something that guests will
keep around and really love this one is
also has a range of budget you could do
it for cheaper if you just order the
luggage tags and then write out the
papers that slide into them or you can
get actually personalized luggage tags
for each of your guests and that's
obviously gonna be a little bit more
expensive but really cool my next one is
cocktail glasses or mason jars with a
little cocktail recipe tied around them
so this one came in kind of you could do
like the shooters in the coca-cola in
them like along with them as well or you
could just do the glasses and then your
favorite cocktail recipe or find a cute
little cocktail recipe that kind of goes
with your wedding theme
like shows you in your fiance's
personalities and do that and just
either tuck it into the glass and so it
would just be the glass with a cute
recipe tucked inside or you could do the
tag that ties around the glass and then
maybe have the stuff to make the drink
in the glass and those are my 12 easy
and cheap favor ideas that your guests
are going to actually like like I said
at the beginning of this video
people spend way too much time and money
on favors and then their guests don't
even like them or don't take them or
don't keep them if this video was
