My friend is getting married in three months, and while the preparation is going as well as you can expect, having only started five months ago, we've just realised that we've forgotten the wedding favours! There's time enough to think about what we want to do, thankfully, so these are some of our ideas for wedding favours on a budget.

Hot Chocolate Mix

If we buy plastic test tubes in bulk, we can assemble these mixes quite easily. Just pick a drinking chocolate of your choice, and add a few teaspoons of chocolate shavings, top it off with a couple of mini marshmallows, and you're good to go!

It would be quick and easy to make, with a few extra hands to help, and who doesn't love chocolate, right? Best of all, you can place them in a glass jar at the centre of each table, and they'll look great as centrepieces.

We got the idea from Coast Celebrations, and were thinking of handwriting our own labels or tags to go with it. What do you think?
DIY Bath Bombs

Then we went in a completely different direction and thought — what about bath bombs? They're pretty, they smell nice, and you can put them in whatever mould you like, to get the perfect shape. We were going to go with their initials, and maybe a love heart, and then package them in little boxes for each guest.


We chose the recipe from Planet Science, because we like fizzy things, and fizzy bath bombs would be fun for everyone. Plus the ingredients are all readily available at your local supermarket; you can buy them in bulk and save a lot of money that way.

Tealight Holders

The great thing about tealight holders is that they're simple and elegant. You don't have to add anything special to the holder itself, but you can place it into a nice box and write a little message on a card for your guest, to thank them for coming.

You can get tea candles in bulk from IKEA, KMart and Target, both unscented and scented alike, so the majority of the cost goes into finding the holder themselves. You can get them in bulk online as well; we're looking at the ones from Wedding Favours Australia. Pricing really depends on the design you're after, in the end.
Candy Bar

One wedding I went to last year had a candy bar, and everyone was given a little box to fill up with whatever goodies we liked. It was a lot of fun, especially for the kids, and you don't have to worry about packaging each individual gift.

We really like this idea, because it can show a bit of her and her fiance's personalities in whatever lollies they choose to use on the day. It doesn't have to be fancy, can follow any theme you like, and you don't have to worry about guests missing out on getting their gift.


So those are all our ideas at the moment. What are some other good, affordable wedding favours that would be easy to prepare within three months? If possible, we'd like to be able to do it on our own, since it feels more personal this way, but we wouldn't mind buying them if they were really, really nice.
