One of the things I always like to recommend, depending on the event, is edible favors. I can't tell you how many events I've been to and received framed pictures, silverware, and some of everything. Me being the person I am I usually like to sit it somewhere nice for a little while to help delay its inevitable fate, file 13; I'd feel bad if I threw it away instantly. But I know I'm note alone. To the contrary I've been at events where I was given a personalized cookie or some type of wonderful candy and mine didn't make it past the cocktail hour.
What am I saying when you don't have a lot to spend, and therefore you definitely don't want them wasted, opt for edible favors. Cute personalized candies or cookies are always a good way to go and are another way to tie in the colors to your event decor. Here are a few cute edible favor holders that I found while browsing OrientalTrading.com.
Baby block favor boxes are cute for any shower. With a niece on the way this one is on my personal list.
Palm tree boxes that can be filled with candy. Really cute for a tropical themed party.
Tulle covered boxes with ribbon. This little boxes filled with treats can be a nice touch for your guests. Spruce it up by adding colored candy and using your own ribbon to tie into your event decor.
