The budget for a wedding favors often depends entirely on how much money you plan to spend on your wedding. Obviously if you are only having a small wedding then you may feel inclined to spend a little more on the wedding favors. For those that still want to have a large number of guests but have limited finances then there are many cheap wedding favor options available.

Candles are one of the simplest ideas for cheap wedding favors and you can find simple candles available at very affordable prices. A way to make the candles look more exclusive is to tie a personalized ribbon around the candles. Arranging this is not as difficult or as expensive as you might think and there are many companies that specialize in this type of work that could provide the ribbon on a reel with all the wedding details so each piece can be cut to length. A simple taper candle tied with your personalized ribbon can be placed at each place setting to create a really inexpensive wedding favor.

Another guaranteed favorite is using different types of candy. A way to use candy as a wedding favor is to purchase small tins and fill them with the candy of your choice and if you purchase the candy in bulk to keep the price down you can separate the candy into small portions for each guest. If you prefer, why not have some bars of candy supplied with your details on them for something a little more individual. You can easily expand upon this idea, without costing too much more by adding special wrappers especially for the wedding. You only need to have details of the wedding and bride and grooms name but it really looks nice if there is a picture as well. Because the wrappers are the same for every wedding guest, the cost will come down dramatically and proves to be a cheap but not gaudy wedding favor.

If you would prefer to give something a little more practical but still within your budget then why not give the guests plant seeds in a box. Just to make this a little more exclusive, the seeds can easily be placed in a small container or pot that is just big enough to fit them in. As the pot is only a symbolic gesture, it can be very small; in fact just large enough to carry the seed. This is important because small pots can be purchased rather inexpensively while larger pots will be significantly more expensive.

I always like the practical ideas that also look personal and a pen fits the bill exactly especially as you can have your details on them. Marketing and promotional gift companies can supply this type of cheap wedding favor gift easily so there shouldn’t be any problem even if they are not ordered until a few weeks before the wedding. The stationery can be used for the guests to stay in touch with the bride and groom and to let them know what type of day hey had. You may also want to consider supplying every wedding guest with a stamped and self addressed envelope so they can send you their thoughts on the wedding day.

If an occasion arises when one of your oldest friends has asked you to be her maid of honor, at the wedding celebration you’ll likely like to present a pleasant speech that talks about your friendship and how happy you are for her and her husband on this very special day. There are a few broad rules to adhere to, but by applying some of your own ideas, you can set up your own spin on your maid of honor speech. Whether you make up your mind to improvise on your own or place much time into your entire address, either way will make an effective and sincere address that your friend and the groom, will remember.

Good points to think about when planning your salute and speech, are humorous accounts the bride shared with you about when she met her husband. Other matters you could speak about may be how long you’ve known the groom, what a great couple the bride and bridegroom are, and any wish you may have for their life together. A great thought is to have a draft of your speech and rehearse it with pals to see if you obtain the appropriate laughs or ‘oohs and ahhs’ of joy. During the real wedding day, it is perfectly adequate to take a composed speech with you or index cards for you to refer to if required.

In some cases, you could be the new sister-in-law to be and won’t know your brother’s bride at all. If this circumstance arises, seek to consider your brother and the sort of women he liked when you were growing up, and when you both became adults. If you try to think about the bride through your brother’s eyes, the chances are you’ll be able to come up with some neat things to mention that she’ll appreciate.

Ensure to give thanks to the bride for the privilege of holding the title you have and let her know how wonderful you feel that she chose you to be beside her throughout her very sepcial day. You can also talk about the marriage ceremony, how beautiful it was, how nice all the attendants seemed, and remember to credit the ring bearer and flower girl, if they used them, as even if they’re too tiny to comprehend your appreciation, the bride and their mothers and fathers will value your acknowledging them.

Try to keep your speech to a few minutes only as there are many other individuals that will wish to talk, like the best man, mother and father, grandparents, and even step-parents. Another good piece of advice is no matter what position the plan places you in for your turn to talk, don’t drink too much prior to making your maid of honor speech. Everyone will remember that you blurred your words or had trouble rising if you do that, and you don’t want to draw that kind of attention on your best friend’s special day. If you adopt these simple suggestions, you will be able to offer up a great maid of honor speech that everyone will remember.
