A popular wedding tradition is for guests to ring bells that are placed on the tables at the wedding reception. When the wedding bells are rung, it’s a signal to the newlyweds to kiss. Though many couples have gone away from bells in recent years, they are a great choice for affordable wedding favors.
When selecting wedding bell favors, you have many options to choose from. These White Open Heart Wedding Bells are cheap and functional too. Since they can be used as place card holders, they can do double duty. Each bell comes in black gift box, but it’s more logical to set them out next to each place setting on the guest tables.
Because these wedding favors are so inexpensive, you might also consider buying wedding favor boxes and filling them with candies and other treats for your guests.

These cute cookie pictured here are from Elenis. They offer specialty cookies in various shapes and designs that depict holidays, hobbies and just about everything else – including weddings!
The set pictured here is $65 for 17 cookies. You can also order individual designs, ranging from square monogram cookies to colorful cake cookies. You could use them as wedding favors, bridal shower favors or hand them out the morning after your wedding at brunch.
If you are feeling creative, you could probably bake similar cookies yourself and then package them as wedding favors. Though they wouldn’t be as perfect as the ones from Elenis, they’d be a little more affordable.
After baking and frosting your cookies, wrap them in cellophane and then package them in one of the wedding favor boxes available at Truly Wedding Favors.
My favorite is the Pink Plaid Purse favor box – it’s perfect for a bridal shower. For an Asian themed wedding, you should consider the “Double Happiness” favor boxes. These red and gold boxes are ideal for an Asian theme wedding.

Candy favors are probably the easiest and most affordable option. But just because they are cheap doesn’t mean they have to be tacky. With some elegant packaging, candy favors can be a very nice addition to your wedding reception and a token of appreciation that your wedding guests will love. After all, everybody loves candy!
When selecting candy, you don’t have to stick to the standards of Jordan almonds, Hershey’s Kisses and mints. Instead, you can select conversational hearts, lemon drops, red hots, mini chocolate bars and just about any other type of little candy you prefer.
At Truly Wedding Favors, we offer a variety of different wedding favor boxes, bags and tins that are perfect for packaging candies and other small items. Here are a few of my personal favorites.

When selecting wedding favors, a popular choice is candy. You can choose personalized candy bars, gourmet chocolates, Hershey’s Kisses, Jordan almonds or mints. You can also get creative with fun candy like lemon drops, red hots, candy hearts or a multitude of other choices.
