How to Keep Your Wedding Budget Down

Planning your dream wedding can begin to run havoc with your expenses if you don’t keep a strict wedding budget. Although you may have factored in all of the main elements of your big day, such as the venue, cake and dress, when it comes to all the small things that put a personal stamp on the celebration, your running total can begin to quickly stack up.

Here at Petals Polly Flowers, we have put together a list of affordable wedding favour ideas to help you keep your wedding budget down.

Handmade Treats
Opt for a tasty treat your friends and family can take home. Homemade biscuits are a great way to keep your wedding budget down and if you have the time, they can even be personalised to each individual guest. Homemade biscuits can be made in large batches and in a variety of shapes, so if you fancy doing a spot of baking one afternoon, you could have your wedding favours sorted in no time (not to mention a gorgeous smelling kitchen).

Personalised Mason Jars
Mason jars are a great wedding favour that may be purchased in bulk from a wholesaler. Used for a variety of things, mason jars are a great gift for your guests to take home and treasure for years to come.

If you’re feeling crafty, you may even decide to purchase the jars in a variety of colours or use paint to personalise the jar further for your guests to enjoy. Mason jars also offer you a chance to personalise the style of each wedding table, as you may fill the jar with a variety of things, depending on the style you would like to achieve.

Sweet Treats
Consider purchasing mini silk or tulle bags and filling them with tasty treats such as individually wrapped chocolates or candy. You may either purchase your supplies in bulk from a wholesaler, or buy multiple chocolate boxes so that each guest has a varied selection to choose from.
