Favor Question

OXOX14_5182289

For our wedding favors we are giving 375ml bottles of wine with custom labels. My question is does every person get a favor or each couple?

I suggest doing each person, because what happens if someone comes alone, then they won't get one?  Unless you are going to be giving them out as people are leaving or something, I would do each person.

If you are looking to save money, do per couple

were doing full bottles one per couple, the venue is putting them on the table after dinner because its just too much on the table

It's totally up to you because per couple will be much cheaper than per person; however, I would do per person only because if you invite someone with a guest and the two of them aren't living together then who gets to take the bottle home?

i thought it was each person got one, but my MOH insisted each couple...guess it's preference.

I did by couple.   And if you came by yourself you got one.  Besides, from a lot of weddings I've gone to, I've noticed that people often leave their favors behind.

I always think it is awkward when it is one per couple.  So single people get twice as much favor?  (And won't some people maybe think you cheaped out by not just getting everyone a favor?)  What about couples who don't live together or "couples" who aren't dating (like if someone brought a friend as a guest)?  And how are you politely letting people know that it is one per couple when you don't know who is sitting at what seat at each table?

If you can't afford to get one for everyone, I think a different favor is a better choice.

I've seen one per couple and one per single person work out great.  I don't think it's awkward at all.  Couples who are dating but not living together can surely drink your bottle of wine (if they choose to open it) on a date night.  I mean the point is they spend time together otherwise they wouldn't bring that person right?

I would order at least a few extra and keep them aside JUST in case somebody is left without because somebody else took more than their share.  But I don't consider it cheaping out at all.  What's awkward is when somebody wastes their money on a totally useless favor and my FI and I have to take home two of them (I think it's rude to leave on the table).  If you have them set up at the table, people can count and figure out if it's not one per person.  It is not rocket science.

We did one per person

I agree with everything ev4149 said:  one per couple, one to single guests, and the reality is, many are left behind.

I was planning to do one per couple and one per single guest. I have been to many weddings with my FI when we were just dating and only received one favor. We never thought anything of it. But I can see that it is truly preference.

to the people that did one per couple and one per single guest, how did you distribute it??  i was going back and forth about this as well since im doing a full bottle of champagne, and its too big to put on the table.  have them on the table on the way out or have someone distribute them?   

PS, ive always gotten one favor per couple and i dont think its cheap at all!!!
