are favors necessary?

Most of my guests are flying to our destination wedding and putting up a lot of money for hotels, rental cars, and vacation time. We really cannot afford another dime, but I am worried people will leave insulted that they didnt' get any kind of favor. Would you even notice if you went to a DW and didn't get anything? Thanks :)

    It doesn't matter to me if it is a DW or an at home one.  I never attend a party expecting to be given a gift.  I wouldn't even notice if you didn't have them.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    No. They are not necessary for any type of wedding. In fact, most of them are incredibly lame and get thrown away unless they are edible.

    Favors aren't necessary at all.  The only ones I like aree the edible kind, and that could  cause all sorts of problems getting food to where ever the DW is.

    Favors aren't necessary.  I don't notice when I don't get them at weddings and I usually forget them when I do.  We didn't have any at our wedding.

    Nope, not necessary at all.  Feed and water your guests well, and skip the favors.

    I probably wouldn't even notice if I went to wedding without them.

    9 out of 10 times, I forget to take the favor home because it's lame.  So, I wouldn't worry about it.
