Cheap wedding favor boxes: While wedding favor boxes can be as expensive as 5 dollars a piece, they can even be gotten for as little as 30 cents each! The reason for the varying prices is the kind of material used to make the boxes and accessorize them.

A really fancy wedding favor box like a colorful cake shaped box costs approximately $4.50 per box. Add to that some chocolates to put inside the box and you have a fairly expensive wedding favor.

On the other hand you can choose an inexpensive or cheap wedding favors box made from beautiful paper in the shape of a wedding dress or tuxedo.
