Favors?

in Favors
I literally have not had one idea of a favor I would like to give to my guests, and I can't remember if any of the weddings I've been to have had any favors. If I skip that part it wont be bad right? I bought a photo booth and was going to set it up so it prints two pictures one for them to keep and one for me to keep. Can that be the favor, it will be going all night and they can take as many as they want, well as long as supplies last!

    Favors are not required, so just skip them.

    You can skip favors and I don't think that anyone will be angry if they don't get anything. The picture booth is a cute idea and will allow people to take something home without you have to plan favors.

    I did the same thing with the photobooth and actually bought these frames for people to put their pictures in to take home.

    Favors are not required - though I agree your photobooth will definitely cover a favor.  The picture frame idea is cute - it could be simple (I'm thinking something you'd find at a dollar store), either a "real" frame or the magnetic outline.

    A photo booth can be your favor! That's what's going to be ours. Plus, in my opinion, it's a better favor than two hershey kisses tied together or something like that. It'll be something that people can keep for themselves, and actually utilize, unlike some random DIY with the bride and groom's monogram.

    I also agree that a photo strip from the booth can be a great favor. 

    If you want to take it a step farther, you could consider these frames......
    www.photoboothframes.com

    The "T-style" frame is able to pull "double" duty if you are having escort cards.  You can very simply print table numbers on cardstock and insert into one side of the frame.  On the other side of the cardstock, you can print a simple message that says something along the lines of, "After visiting the photobooth, please use this frame to take your photo strip home". 

    These frames are really easy to embellish with ribbons or personalize/decorate in other ways as well.

    The pictures can be the favor ... I may do that AND  I know I am doing CDs for each guest that have songs that mean something to FI and I on them... we'll print labels that have a picture of us on it and the date and the insert in the case will have reasons why each song was picked

    Some of the booths can do more than just strip photos. I had a photo cube. Really cute

    I agree, favors are not required.. And I couldn't tell you one favor from any wedding I've been to, other than my sisters because I helped put them together.

    If you want to give favors, edible always seem best to me. I'm doing chocolate covered oreos that I'm ordering from Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/RebeccaDelecta?ref=seller_info (This seller has been super nice to work with, btw).

    My one sister did personalized M&M's, which were rather pricey.

    And my other did mini chocolate covered pretzels (they have ties to Sarris Chocolates). They put a couple pretzel into boxes. Then we had to tie them shut and use these little glue buttons. It was crazy..
