Many people give out seeds as wedding favors because not only are they affordable, but they're also an eco-friendly gesture. However, keep in mind that not everyone has the space in their home or a yard to grow plants.
You can make the seed packets yourself or buy customized ones online. We found these cute kraft-seed envelopes on Etsy that are selling for $90 per 100 pieces — that's $0.90 per envelope.

Recipes and Ingredients
These pretty recipe cards ($8 for 12) are perfect for sharing your favorite secret or not-so-secret recipe that everyone always asks you about. You can even include one of the recipe's ingredients to go along with the wedding favor. Get cheap cloth sachets at craft stores or online from Papermart for $0.25.

Perhaps one of the best things about nuts as favors is the endless amount of love puns you'll be able to dream up. Buy them in bulk to save.

Lotto Tickets
There's no other favor that will give your guests a thrill like a lottery ticket. Package the lotto tickets up nicely, perhaps in a pretty envelope or paired with a small snack.

Hot Cocoa
There's nothing more comforting than a cup of hot cocoa. You can make the favor more visually appealing if you include different flavors and place the mixture in a clear jar you can get for cheap in bulk from specialtybottle.com.

Mason jars cost around $0.70 to $0.80 if you buy in bulk. You can get them from specialtybottle.com for less than $1. Get an etching kit and your trusty group of bridesmaids to help with this personalized favor.

Spices
Spices are definitely a favor that will have a spot in every guest's pantry. We love this idea of letting guests choose sweet or spicy! Buy them in bulk for cheap at ethnic stores, bargain stores like Walmart, or the dollar store. Store them in jars you get for under $1 from specialtybottle.com.

Soaps
Soaps are very practical favors to give out, and you can always make them look good by choosing different colors or packaging. These soaps can cost you less than $1 if you make your own.

S'mores
This might be a good treat for receptions held at night. Guests will get to bring home a quintessential late-night snack, and writing a sweet note like "S'more love" adds the perfect tie-in to your wedding.
You can find treat bags at craft stores and bargain stores like Walmart. If you want to buy them online, I found some selling on Amazon for $10 for 100 pieces and on Papermart for around $14 for 1,000 pieces. Customize them yourself with some pretty calligraphy.
