How can I reduce the overall cost of wedding favors for a large wedding?

Wedding Favor Door Prizes

Depending on your wedding budget and the number of guests, it may be difficult to buy wedding favors for everybody. Although most wedding favors are priced reasonably, the cost can add up if you're having a large wedding. Instead of buying hundreds of cheap wedding favors, why not consider one big wedding favor as a “door prize” at the wedding reception?

Always budget for the bridesmaids and groomsmen gifts; however, when it comes to the wedding favors it's completely up to you what you do. Make a note on the invitations that one lucky guest will go home with a special gift. Ideas for that big wedding favor gift include:

A large basket filled with personalized wine bottles, candles, chocolates, wedding napkins, etc.
A Vera Wang Toasting Flutes Set
A golf bag
A beautiful pen and stationery set
A gift certificate to a boutique or restaurant

These are just a few ideas to get you started. The idea is to buy one or two great wedding favor gifts in lieu of hundreds of inexpensive wedding favors. Depending on the number of people at the wedding, those “inexpensive” wedding favors can really add up.
