Hi everyone! I had these really cute favors picked out to give out at the reception, but now as I see how my FI and I are struggling to pay even the smallest Wedding Related stuff let alone our monthly bills I am rethinking them. Is it really that big of deal to have Wedding Favors? My FI's parents are paying for over 75% of the wedding and my parents are going to give us $1000. I just don't know if I would feel right asking them for the money for the favors on top of everything else. Another thing I am reconsidering is placecards and a seating chart. We are having a buffet and plan on releasing the tables to the buffet line one at a time. Thoughts on any of this?
Re: Favors a Necessity?
It sounds like you don't need place cards. I do like to assign people to tables tho, so you make sure everyone has a seat.
Can you do a seating chart and get it printed at kinkos? I have a template if you would like it. I can email it. This would be a cheaper option.
I am getting it printed putting it in a frame that I had a poster in and then putting it on an eisle (Sp?) that my venue has.
I dont think you need to do favors. Everyone will be happy to be there celebrating with you. I dont think anyone goes there excepting to get a favor to go home with.
The only reason we're having them is one of her aunts in Thailand sent them over.
