Here are 10 great cheap wedding favors to give you ideas and save money but still give yourself the beautiful wedding you deserve.
1. Personalized Mini Apothecary Jars

Another great container for cheap DIY personalized favors are our
Mini Glass Bottles - these are great to hold liquids such as: vanilla extract, a shot of liquor, maple syrup, flavored syrup, flavored basting oil, hot sauce, balsamic vinegar or BBQ sauce. Add your personalized sticker, charms, ribbons and you have a pretty unique (and cheap) wedding favor!
3. Chocolate & Candy
Chocolate is something that will never go to waste so if you're worried about your favors not being taken, used or eaten - go with a timeless standard. While these
Hershey Wedding Kisses are inexpensive at only .29 cents each, a cheaper alternative is to give non-personalized kisses in a favor container such as an
organza bag or one of our many
favor boxes.

If you have a green thumb, use them to start plants for your guests. And if you a traditionalist - jordan almonds inside can't be beat.
