Unless you are giving out $20 bills, even the best favors will be left behind. Figure 20-25% will be left. Either skip them completely, or do something edible.

My favourite favor (received 6 years ago and I still use it today) was a hand painted (by the GM) trivet which has B and G's initials discreetly on them and their wedding date. Beautifully painted.

I am having a photobooth instead of favors. I think people will keep the photo more so then anyting else we would give. Plus it gives us more pictures/memories from our wedding.

Candy, popcorn, cookie or some sort of buffet typically are great hits at receptions. I have been to quite a few weddings with them and noticed that they were well received and if I can recollect none had any treats left - the guest ate it all. Hope this helps

Photobooths are expensive - just to give people a favor. Really, favors are so unnecessary and I can't remember what half of them were. You're providing a great night out - why do we need favors? I'm thinking this way, but the FI and I haven't discussed it - he's much more traditional and may think people will be offended if they don't get one. But I'm already preparing, if we do one, it will double as placecard.

Can't believe I finally found him at age 47!

I really like the koozie idea for favors! That is what we are going with. We ordered ours through http://www.totallyweddingkoozies.com, and we love how they turned out! We went with monogrammed koozies, but they do have a lot of different design options on their website that don't include names.

I've made a bunch of champagne cork bride magnets and am really pleased with how they turned out. Plus, my friends are HUGE wine/champagne lovers so this is perfect for me. I'm just starting out with my side business and have a bunch of other cork creations that might also be a good fit based on different hobbies, personalities and themes. If you're interested check out http://www.poppin-corks.com. The brides are $6 each but I give discounts for orders over 10 and I'm willing to work with you on price since I would really like the exposure.
