Inexpensive Wedding/Party Favors

The favors you give to your guests should be a reflection of your appreciation for their attendance, as well as a memorable token they'll remember for years to come.  In this economy, people are looking for ways to do both without breaking the bank, so I've compiled a list of my favorite inexpensive favor ideas.

1.  Cake Pops- Cake pops are inexpensive to make and are extremely popular right now.  You can make them in any cake flavor, and the chocolate coating comes in a variety of colors and flavors that would be perfect for your event.


2.  Designer/Couture Oreos - these have become my latest obsession! You take regular Oreo cookies, dip them in chocolate, and adorn them with beautiful patterns in various colors to suit your event.  Not sure if you're ready to do it yourself? Chez Soiree can provide these for only $20.00 per dozen (shipping and handling may be extra).




3.  Cupcakes in a Jar - These can be made by alternately layering cake and icing in a Mason jar, and adding your own personalized label to the top of the jar.  You can use a variety of cake and icing flavors, and you can also get creative and color your cake mix to match your event.  Stay tuned for the tutorial!

Nautical Wedding Ideas

Since our Nautical Theme Baby Shower post seems to be extremely popular, we thought we'd give you some nautical wedding ideas as well.  Although the traditional nautical theme incorporates navy, white, and red, try pairing navy and white with another bright color like yellow, lime, or orange. Check these out!
