There are affordable ways to create your own wedding favors
. Think outside the box. Expensive does not necessarily mean better. There is nothing wrong with scouting for discounted craft for your wedding. Watch out for great deals from the retail stores in your area and buy supplies in bulk when they go on sale (e.g. tape, ribbons, wrapping paper, boxes). Be on the lookout for coupons and ask friends and relatives if they can help you find good deals. If it's taking too much of your time from other more important things to tend to for your wedding, you can always ask somebody else to look for discounted supplies. If all else fails and you think you just don't have the time to look for affordable pieces, at least make a quick online search for coupons and try to avoid buying supplies at their regular retail price.
