$5 and under Favors

I recently stumbled upon an article on Brides.com titled "Favors for $5 (or Less)" It gave me a lot of great ideas because a lot of things are either completely or at least partly DIY, which is exactly what we're looking for! Some of the ideas the article gives could even be made cheaper if you are really looking to save some money without anyone noticing. For instance the first picture shown is a decorated canister of popcorn, which is a great idea because I don't know too many people who don't like popcorn and it would be something easy you could either pop yourself or buy fairly cheap. The canister would be really fun and easy to decorate as well for fairly cheap. This is a great idea, however if you wanted to take it a little bit further and save a little bit more money instead of buying canisters you could use old-fashioned popcorn bags. To help the popcorn stay fresh you could put a plastic bag inside of the paper bag, maybe finding a plastic bag that matches the one of your wedding colors might even add a little flair to it. The paper bag could potentially even be a better idea because you and your groom or bridesmaids could make a whole night out of decorating the paper bags that would hold the popcorn, which would save you even more money, which we all know I'm game for! Make sure you check out the other great ideas the article has as well, there really are some awesome ideas (Numbers 3, 8, 11, and 13 are my personal favorites!)
