Bulk Wedding Favors
Wedding favors – small gifts for your wedding guests – can range from the smallest thank you card to the most extravagant of gifts such as silver or crystal pieces.
We all know that wedding favors can get expensive due to the volume – depending on the type of gift you’ll need either one for each guest or one for each family in attendance. When planning your wedding and searching for wedding favor sources, you may want to consider looking into bulk wedding favors as a way of saving time and expense.
Ordering bulk wedding favors will allow you to enjoy discounts on the items themselves and perhaps shipping and handling as well. You can order bulk wedding favor pieces and package or finish them yourself (such as putting candies into little boxes or bags and tying with ribbons) – be sure and enlist your friends and bridesmaids for help!
Alternatively, you may find you can order bulk wedding favors which arrive complete and ready to go – all you need to do is ensure they are placed into the hands of your guests.
Some places you may try for sourcing bulk wedding favors are as follows:
- Wholesale favor companies - Find these via online and local yellow pages, bridal listings, and perhaps through your bridal salon or wedding planner.
- Wholesale or bulk gift companies - Remember that you need not deal with a ‘wedding’ company, as there are many small gifts that may be suitable as wedding favors. In fact, you may find more variety and realize a far better pricing structure at ‘normal’ gift companies than at wedding-specific companies. Look around at your local decor and home gift stores and ask if they have a bulk ordering system for parties, etc..
- Wholesale warehouses such as Costco and Sam’s Club - These stores are built on the bulk concept, and you may find just the item you’re looking for already packaged in bulk and ready to take home. Be sure and check online as well, as Costco carries far more online than they ever could in-store.
- Internet- The possibilities are endless here, as you can find bulk wedding favor ideas anywhere from ebay to online gift sources. As above, remember to broaden your search by not just sticking to wedding sites. If you’re looking for candle wedding favors, for instance, try searching for bulk candles or wholesale candles rather than just candle wedding favors.
