It's pretty rare to find a bride that isn't on a budget. Finding a way to get wedding accessories, wedding favors and other necessary wedding supplies without spending a fortune can be a challenge at best. Many women forget to include the bridal shower supplies in their budgets, so keep in mind that bridal shower favors and other items required for bridal shower planning are going to cost you, as well.

That doesn't mean you can't make it work, though! There are several ways to ensure that you have the perfect favors for your events, no matter what the budget.

First, make sure you look online. While there are usually plenty of bridal stores that offer favors, you will almost always find better deals online where the overhead is less and the selection greater. 

You should know exactly what your budget for wedding accessories and wedding favors is before you start shopping. How many do you need? Make sure to divide the amount you have to spend by the number of favors required to get a good idea of what you can spend per favor. This is true for wedding supplies, as well as bridal shower planning. 

Don't forget that certain people traditionally receive larger gifts, usually those in the wedding party. It's usually a good idea to buy those gifts first, then focus on the general favors. You'll find a wide selection available when you shop online, so you should be able to find something for everyone and order it all from the same place.

Look for free shipping. The actual shipping can be a huge expense that many brides aren't expecting when they order online. These days, free shipping is common enough that you shouldn't have to deal with paying this. Remember that this adds to the overall cost of the items. 

If possible, try to buy in bulk. This usually gives you a discount of 10-25% and if you have enough guests to justify it, can be considerably cheaper. This is a great way to get your bridal shower supplies, as well. Many bridal shower favors are available for a very good price online, as are wedding accessories and wedding favors. When you're looking for the best deals on wedding supplies and doing your bridal shower planning, make sure you take a look at a couple different stores to make sure you're getting the lowest rate and the highest quality.
