Hoping to wow your guests with incredible favors that are both easy and cheap? Last minute ideas are usually what we look for when pressed for time. The great thing about wedding favors is that they do not have to require a lot of your time to impress your crowd and look fantastic on your reception tables. Use a little creativity and you’ve got this!
Plants are great last-minute wedding favor ideas that you can do yourself. You can visit a greenhouse or nursery where plants are grown, and choose maybe one or two different plants to use as wedding favors. Inexpensive flowers include impatiens, daisies, and marigolds. These flowers have abundant blooms that you can separate into small vases or jars and place next to each guests’ place settings. Using plants can also be a great way to add color and texture in your wedding.
Give your guests a memorable photo frame wedding favor to take home. Photo frames are easy to find and are also very classy. Some couples display a photo of themselves in the frames, but that is up to you. Instead, hand write a poem or letter to your guests thanking them for coming and place it in the frame. The recipients will appreciate your sincerity and keep the frame as a memento.
If you find yourself in a craft store that sells fabric and other sewing materials, opt for 
purchasing ribbon to make ribbon wedding favors. This is an expensive favor that you can craft on your own. If your gown has a touch of green, consider using a similar shade for the ribbon to match. Or create multicolored ribbon favors by purchasing many strands of different colors and tying them in bows.
Thinking edibles for your favors? Chocolates are a great present to give your wedding guests. They can be eaten at the reception tables or taken home to be enjoyed later. Some candies, like M&Ms can actually be monogrammed with your initials. Other sweets to use are lollipops, mints, cookies, and miniature candy bars. Mix and match treats for a wedding favor surprise.
A great time-saver for choosing wedding favors is to buy candles for your guests. Beach-themed wedding? Give them ocean-scented candles. Tea lights are very affordable, as well as elegant when coupled with a frosted votive holder. Or consider making your own candles with a candle-making kit. Give as favors in jars or other container for a truly unique gift.
