Favors

I need your honest opinion

I initially was over budgeting my favors until I went to my cousins $100,000 wedding and the favors were chocolate covered pretzels and a donation.

I am now thinking of ordering circular rainbow lollipops about 1 1/2" around and giving 2 to each person... They are 39cents each so I figured .78 cents a person is more than enough.

How would you feel if you got a rainbow lollipop at a wedding? Cheap or cheesy or fine with it?

    Not the best favor I've ever heard of, but also not the worst.  I'm not a fan of lollipops, but my DH is.  He'd probably end up with 4.  =)

    I'm not picky about favours at all.

    I can't remember the last time I got a lollipop actually. Do you mean the kind that look really fancy? Because I love those ones.

    I think lollipops are cute. There are also inexpesive personalized ones.

    I think it would be better just to do a donation, most people end up not taking their favors, but if you want to have something to give I think it is always fun to have treat!

    if it matches the theme of the wedding, if the whole tone is fun and whimsical I'd love it! I may not eat it, but I'd bring it home and give it to the neighbor kid, I love the way the big colorful lollypops look

    If those are your lollipops then I say eys go for it. I think they're cute. I like lollipops. I'd rather them then a donation made in my name. Lollipops are cute fun favor I think. As kids I used to love getting a lollipop at the bank I actually still look to see if they have them out to grab.

    I think they are a cute favor as usually edible is better. If people don't want them, they don't have to take them. If you are having kids at your wedding, I can definitely see them being a hit. Usually the whole donation in lieu of favors thing isn't looked very highly upon around here.

    Those lollipops look awesome!  I agree with PP that as long as they go with your theme then you should go for it.
