Budget $2–5 per favor for DIY and $5–10 for pre-made. A candy box favor costs about $3.30 each (candy $2.50 + organza bag $0.30 + tag $0.25 + ribbon $0.15). Mini candles run $4.50–5 each. Succulents cost $5–6 each. For 100 guests at $3.30 each, budget $330 total.
Organza bags ($0.30 each) are the most popular — elegant, see-through, and easy to fill. Kraft boxes ($0.60) give a rustic look and protect fragile items. Clear cellophane bags ($0.15) are cheapest and show off colorful candy. Custom printed boxes ($1.20) add a premium touch for weddings.
Each favor needs about 12–18 inches of ribbon for a simple bow. For 100 favors at 15 inches each: 125 feet total (about 42 yards). A standard 25-yard spool costs $3–5, so you need 2 spools. Satin ribbon (3/8 inch) is the most popular for favors.
