Jean FAVORS: Cutting Costs

Q: My fiancé and I were looking at our budget last night and were wondering where we can cut corners. Is giving elaborate favors to our wedding guests an absolute must?

A: Favors need not be elaborate to add a welcoming and special touch to your reception. Guests will appreciate any little token -- even if it's as simple as wrapping up chocolates, nuts or mints in netting circles and tying with pretty ribbon. If your budget allows, opt for personalized favor boxes. And you can always add extras to give your favors a little extra sparkle with adornments, charms or personalized ribbon. Guests will be delighted at your thoughtfulness!
