Point of view: you and your partner set a firm budget for your wedding ceremony and reception and come to find that between the caterer and the rentals you've gone way over — what do you do? First and foremost, you're not alone. It's incredibly difficult to adhere to those financial guardrails when you're at the mercy of so many vendors, with so many fees. One thing you can control, though, is how much you spend on wedding favors. Guests certainly love leaving with a small token — that they'll use — from your love-filled day, so get them something good without breaking the bank.
Up ahead, find wedding favors that average out to under $10 per favor and don't appear like you went over budget and had to settle for something less than you'd hoped. In fact, you might just find these wedding favors to be even better than you'd imagined. From personalized flip flops to eco-friendly gifts, your guests will certainly get some use out of these crafty ideas.
