Planning on having a wedding or baby shower soon?
Getting favors is a nice way of saying thank you to your guests for coming.
Here are some tips for saving money when purchasing baby shower or wedding
favors.
1) Buy extras off other people - Oftentimes, people get too many favors for
their occasion. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. Once the
celebration is over, however, these people may be willing to sell you their
leftover favors at a sharp discount. If you don't know anyone personally,
then look in the classifieds in both local and national papers as well as
online auction sites like ebay.
2) Buy in bulk and sell the leftovers - Sometimes you will be able to save
money by buying in bulk. You can sell the extras to other people. If you
know other people that are having weddings or baby showers, then you can
combine your orders and benefit from lower costs and possibly bulk purchase
incentives like free shipping.
3) Make your own favors - If you are crafty, then you can make your own
favors. Purchase all the materials at your local craft shop or online.
Since you are making them from scratch, you can customize and personalize
as well. People will appreciate the effort that went into making your own
favors.
4) Find a craftsman - If you find a local craftsman or artist, then there
is a chance that you can get a great price from them for your favors.
Another possibility is an art student that is still in school. They will
usually work for less money than a full time professional.
5) Flea markets and thrift shops - Flea markets and thrift shops are great
places to locate bargain items. Also check out closeouts, store sales,
garage sales, and live auctions. Oftentimes, you can also negotiate prices
with these vendors.
As you can see, there are many ways to save money when shopping for gifts
for your guests. Follow these tips and you are sure to save money or favors
and supplies for your wedding, baby shower, or any other special
occasion.
