Plan Your Wedding Today

You’re planning your wedding with high anticipation of your lifetime together. The costs are going to be hard on your pocketbook when you take into account reserving the venue of your wedding ceremony, hiring a professional wedding photographer, and the myriad additional wedding preparations you’ll need to harness.

So given the overall expenses, are there ways you can reduce them without sacrificing quality? Yes, you can consider the option of wholesale wedding favors.

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on expensive retail wedding favors, you can acquire direct from the factory or a wholesale company and save that money for something really important - like your honeymoon.

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.

Of course, you can’t just hand each guest a plain candle, but you can easily customize them all. Start by writing your name and marriage date on a small piece of paper or ribbon and then wrapping each candle with your customized band. Alternatively, you can use ribbon to attach a small note that thanks your guests for attending your marriage ceremony.

Bottled Preserves

If you live in Vermont, you could bottle your own maple syrup. If you live in California, you might bottle your own wine. If you live in the South, you may want local preserves.

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.

In short, before you spend for pre-made wedding favors from any retailer, remember that you’ll be buying in bulk and could save hundreds of dollars by either purchasing wholesale wedding favors or wholesale products that could be easily converted into wedding favors.
