You shop at Costco for bulk groceries, so why wouldn't you also want to save money with wholesale wedding favors? You don't have to spend inordinate sums of money on expensive items in a local craft store or bridal bouquet. Instead, you can buy your favors wholesale and keep that money for other things like your photographer, DJ or flowers.
For some great wedding favor ideas that you can buy wholesale, keep reading.
Traditional Almonds
Sugared almonds are a classic and traditional wedding favor. Tradition says that five almonds are placed in a box or wrapped in fabric to symbolize happiness, health, wealth and fertility. It's also said that a sugared almond is also bitter sweet, much like the bitter sweetness of married life.
The almonds are not only traditional, they're also incredibly affordable. One stop at a local bulk food store or Costco and you can pick up two pounds of sugared almonds for as little as $10 to $30. Then, with little more than a couple yards of inexpensive tulle and some ribbon, you can make wedding favors that are classic, beautiful and affordable.
Wedding Candles
Candles can be a great way to symbolize your love, inviting guests to think of the happy couple each time they light it. The great thing about candles as wholesale wedding favors is they're easily available in bulk from many retailers and are available for as low as $0.10 a candle. For a little extra, you can splurge on votive or decorative candles too.
To customize each candle, buy some pretty paper or ribbon to wrap around them. You can print your names and wedding date on each, or attach a tag with a short thank you note, expressing your appreciation to each guest for joining you on your special day.
Bottled Preserves
Bottling your own wedding favors is a great way to embrace a local product and saving money. A Georgia couple may want to hand out peach preserves while a Vermont couple might bottle their own maple syrup.
A simple online search for "wholesale bottles" will yield hundreds of results which can then be narrowed down to wholesalers in your area. Purchasing a hundred wholesale bottles at less than $0.50 per bottle and filling them yourself is much cheaper than paying for pre-made favors from a local bridal retailer.
So, before you splash out on expensive wedding favors that say little about you as a couple, consider saving money with wholesale wedding favors that you can personalize to match your colors, styles and personalities. |
