Cheap Favor Ideas

Design your own inexpensive party favors.


Coming up with cheap party favor ideas is simple. Making your own favors is an inexpensive way to go and can save you money. Favors don't have to be fancy or big. Even the simplest or smallest things will keep your event memorable for your guests, and your party favors can be cheap without looking cheap.


Cookie Cutters


Simple cookie cutters with colored ribbons tied to them make nice favors that guests can use for years. Various cookie cutter shapes are available to fit any theme, style or holiday. Matching a ribbon to your event's theme colors adds a nice touch to your cookie cutter favor. The shape of the cookie cutter can fit the season or can be in the shape of something the guest favors.


Candy Lollipops


Make your own chocolate-covered lollipops with just a few ingredients. Melt caramel or a similar chewy candy in a microwave and cover each side of the soft candy with small vanilla wafers. The caramel should just be warmed enough to soften it in order to insert the stick. Dip each of the homemade lollipops into melted chocolate. Lay them on wax paper and drop sprinkles of your choice onto the chocolate before it fully hardens. Wrap them individually in cellophane.


Soap


Make your own colored and scented soap for your guests. Simple soap-making kits are sold in craft stores, and various soap molds are available to create different shapes and designs. They are easy to make following the package instructions. Allow the soap to harden in the molds, then pop them out of the mold and they are ready to go for your party.


Tulle Bags


Tulle circles are inexpensive and come in a variety of colors. Add small candies to the tulle circle, gather the edges to close it into a small bag and secure it with a ribbon. These make nice, simple favors with an elegant look.


Potpourri


Small bags of potpourri make simple and elegant party favors. Add a small amount of potpourri to an organza sachet. Tie the top of the bag closed with the drawstring ribbon. This is a quick and inexpensive party favor that you can make in just seconds.
