Wedding favor bags

Wedding favor bags – Elegance at its best

Investing in wedding favor bags will add that perfect finishing touch to your shining moment.  These elegant items are far more personal and inviting than a matchbook emblazoned with your names and wedding date. Tossed in a drawer or eventually used and discarded, these wedding favors are easily forgotten. With wedding favor bags, you will be able to give your guests a memento of your special day, worthy of a place on a fireplace mantle or in a curio cabinet.

Measuring 4.25" tall x 3" wide x 2" deep, mini wedding favor bags with metal handles can be purchased for about $3 each, allowing you to present your personalized parting gift in style. The metal handles can be used to easily clasp place cards. This makes wedding favor bags quite multi-functional. For example, during an outdoor wedding reception, these filled goodie bags can be used to weigh down helium balloons, infuse color into an outdoor setting or used to elegantly display place cards at the table settings.

Some wedding favor bags allow the use of a ribbon in their construction. This is a perfect way to easily incorporate the colors of the wedding. Ribbons can be placed on the front of the wedding favor bag or throughout the design. Sometimes they may be used to tie the bag closed, holding your very special contents. Sometimes a see-through screen is part of the wedding favor bag. Many brides-to-be have placed tissue paper inside that also corresponds to the wedding colors.

The kind of material that can be used in wedding favor bags is quite varied. They can be unique and colorful like felt selections or sentimental and personal, such as handmade paper cut-out creations.

Cutting Costs: Ordering in Bulk

When purchasing wedding favor bags for your special day, you should keep in mind that buying in bulk will save you a lot of money. Basically, the more you purchase, the better deal you will receive. For example, a company selling small, pink, mesh wedding favor bags charges $26 for a 100-count order while a 200-count order might be $46.  

Some companies will sell their wedding favor bags in packages and determine the final cost in terms of how many packages you order. One company offers paper wedding favor bags with a beautiful gloss finish, rope handles and lovely heart design in packages of four. When placing an order between 1 and 11, you are charged 1.79 per package. If you order more than 108, the price per package is reduced to $1.20. When looking for companies offering wedding favor bags, keep in mind that they may require a minimum quantity order.

What to Put Inside

The options are endless for the things you can include in your bags. Depending on the material used, you might want to take advantage of several possibilities. For example, one company presents the clever idea of placing milk chocolate coins in an organza wedding favor bag with the words “A token of our love” stamped on the outside. This selection runs about $2.50 per bag.

While Jordan almonds have been a staple at many weddings, you could go wild with the available selection of edible treats. Pillow mints, chocolate mints, truffles, Lindor chocolate, Mon Cheris and jellybeans are just some of the goodies you may include. Also, try to take advantage of personalized items, such as conversation hearts and lollipops.

For a different type of wedding favor bag, try the one that offers tea. Costing around 1.50 each, personalized tea bags are available. Every item included in a wedding favor bag doesn’t necessarily have to be popped into your mouth. Candles make great additions to any favor bag. Some can be purchased for about $1-2 each. A fun item for a wedding favor bag may include personalized champagne bottle magnets. When placed on the refrigerator, your special day will not soon be forgotten. With or without discounts, this item ranges from around $1.50-3.50 per item.
