Throwing a wedding is becoming a really expensive undertaking. Every bride and groom wants to make their day special. There certainly are ways of cutting costs in your wedding preparations without sacrificing on quality. One fun way to make your wedding day memorable without having to invest a great deal of time or money is by giving your guests cookie cutter wedding favors.

Many guests who attend a wedding want to take something more than a small piece of the wedding cake home with them. They want a small keepsake that they can remember the wedding by. With cookie cutter wedding favors they are not only receiving something memorable but they are useful as well.

These types of items are really inexpensive and can easily be personalized without much added cost. A nice idea is to purchase cookie cutter wedding favors in the shape of a heart. Then you can use your home computer to print out small, attachable cards that contain a greeting from the happy couple, the wedding date and a sugar cookie recipe. With some pink or red ribbon, these cards can be tied to the cookie cutters and placed on each of the tables before dinner.

Another fun and affordable idea is to include a photo of the wedding couple. This can also be done easily with a home computer and a good quality printer. A small image of the couple from their engagement can be placed in the corner of the recipe card. Whenever someone looks at the cookie cutter wedding favors, they’ll be reminded of the special celebration they attended.

If you have children in your family who have been asking for a way to participate in the wedding, this is a perfect way. Ask them to help assemble the cookie cutter wedding favors and if there isn’t a dinner following the ceremony have them hold baskets filled with them for the guests to take upon leaving. This will help make the youngsters feel responsible and helpful and again your guests will welcome the small item they get to take with them.

Many local wedding supply shops will carry many different designs in these. If you don’t find the heart shaped cookie cutter wedding favors appealing, you can certainly choose another. Butterflies, daisies and leaves are a few of the other options. You can also purchase small gift bags to place these in if you want to add to the look of the favor.
