While crystal wedding favors may look like expensive gifts to give away, they’re actually a very affordable way of adding a certain richness and elegance to even the smallest budgeted wedding.
These small crystal tokens of appreciation come in a variety of styles and even on the lower end of the price range are beautiful and inexpensive gifts like key chains, candle holders, small bells or even paper weights.
If you’re having a smaller wedding with a larger budget for your favors, you can buy long-stemmed crystal roses boxed in satin with a beautiful card. Or have the paper weight engraved with a special note of thanks and the date of your wedding.
Other types of crystal wedding favors that are popular choices are small heart boxes, bud vases and wine bottle stoppers, any of which will add a touch of class to the guests tables while giving your guests a beautiful decorative piece to take home as a keepsake.
If you’re having a winter wedding or a Christmas themed wedding, you can give crystal snowflakes or other small ornaments that your guests can hang on their trees during the holidays.
Glass is an elegant alternative to crystal wedding favors and the nice thing about glass is that glass it can come in different shapes and colors for instance blown glass or stained glass. Some different glass alternatives to crystal would be place card holders, picture frames, bud vases, champagne flutes, coasters or photo frames.
Another idea for either glass or crystal is a spice jar to hold different candies or teas. And since you can buy glass items in bulk cheaper than crystal, you’ll save money on your budget.
Candies and things to fill the glass jars are also available in bulk so you can actually buy more for less money if you opt for glass instead of crystal wedding favors.
But whether you place or glass crystal favors at your guests’ tables, you’re adding sparkle; as the crystals reflect light, they will add a magical touch to the entire room. And by giving your guests favors made from either glass or crystal, you’re giving timeless gifts that will blend in with any theme.
