I'm a bride on a budget (like many) and i was wondering how much most of you plan on spending on favors?
I don't want to be cheapy, but I also don't want to waste money on silly items that people just end up throwing away. Any creative ideas would also be welcomed!!
Re: $favors$
With All the Trimmings
We gave Lenox bud vases to each couple, which were on clearance for an amazing $5 each.
We also gave jelly beans in fall colors in a square container. The jelly beans were around 1.50 a person.
Throw in the box for the jelly beans, the ribbon, and the wrapping paper and ribbon for the vases and it was in the neighborhood of $5 a person.
[QUOTE]we are having a photobooth ($700) and the photo strips will be our favors which are included in our package so I guess they are sort of free. but if i looked at the $700 as the favor price then it would be $3.50/pp.

We did the same thing, but also ordered plastic photo strip frames from eBay at $.75 each. With our count it comes out to $4.50 per person.
The truth behind a well laced dress
We did boxes of Frango mints, which are a staple in Chicago. They were $3.50 per box. There were not any gone at the end of the night. Definitely go with something edible, and something that you like. This way, if people do leave them behind you can eat them! This is much better than having 50 coasters left over....like my one girlfriend......
Also as a favor we had boxes of old navy flip flops near the dance floor for everyone to take for dancing. We had all different sizes and colors. These were $2.50 each, and we only had 3 pairs left over!
