Weddings are an obsession of mine. In fact, I like to think that I'm still planning for some sort of big event in the future, whether it be my friends' weddings or even my parent's wedding anniversary. So one of the best parts about wedding planning, imo, are the wedding favors! They are often misconstrued as inexpensive trinkets that collect dust after the wedding. However, I believe that the bride and groom should aim for utilitarian gifts that their guests can use and enjoy for months after the special day. The guests have already feasted on a delicious food and drinks...so shouldn't they have something to bring home to remember the special moment by? Secondly, the favors should not be expensive. Given the average budget of weddings in the U.S. last year was almost $28,000, there is absolutely no reason for the happy couple to spend any more money than they have to on wedding favors. A combination of DIY (do-it-yourself) and inexpensive favors is the perfect combination for the successful wedding favor.

Glass flutes serve as tableware and useful gifts for the guests. The only negative? Potential Personalized breakage.
A modernized glass coaster that holds photos. Beware of purchasing these from an Internet dealer who will charge an arm and a leg for shipping this fragile and heavy item.
For the bride and groom who love to travel, heart-shaped luggage tags!
And finally, I could not resist to add the adorable frog in the prince - perfect for any fairy tale lovers.
