One of the best ways to get ideas for your wedding favors is to search the internet for photos and ideas.  Other great places to get ideas include craft stores and your local 99¢ store.  Keep in mind, if you opt to make your own favors, there may be a significant time factor involved.  

Another place to look includes local quick print shops.  They usually offer a wide variety of personalized items, such as keychains, mugs and frisbees for businesses.  These can be personalized as wedding favors.  

Finally, many local wedding professionals specialize in favors and are a great source for gorgeous, one-of-a-kind creations in addition to some of the more popular favors listed here.
