Creative Wedding favors ideas for guests

Before looking up wedding favors, you need to consider your wedding budget!

This step is truly important as you can easily spend $1K or even more very easily.

Weddings can be expensive even for your guests.

It’s a good idea to get yourself a good wedding budget like this one to ensure you never go over what you can actually afford.

However, if your wedding budget does not allow for it, you can totally choose to skip wedding favors altogether!

Honestly, I have seen couples spend a lot of money on these and guests not take them at the end of the night.

It is important to get favors that guests are actually going to want and or use otherwise it’s a total waste of money.

They are lots of amazing places you can find unique wedding favors ideas that are budget-friendly.
