  So far, we're planning on not doing favors for the same reason you mentioned. If you feel obligated to do a favor, maybe you can try edible favors or a candy buffet.

  I don't think it's a no no , if its something forgetable then dont do it. Our favors will be the photobooth picture, a classic bottle of coke w/our names and some cracker jacks (vintage /classic theme)

  We aren't doing them either. The only favors I have liked were photobooths but it's not in the budget for us. I really can't see spending the money on what most people wouldn't use or even take home with them.

  I think it's nice to do a favor, but it's not required.  Edible favors (candy, cupcakes, etc.) are always taken by guests at weddings, so that would be something worth getting if you want to do them.

  Favors are supposed to be a very special keepsake, to remind the guests of this very special magical night together, celebrating this new married couple.  I have never left a favor on the table, and I've never seen other people leave the favors on the tables - at least take it with you and throw it away later if you truly hate it.  Leaving it on the table says that you are disrespecting the event and the money someone spent to try to make this a nice evening for you.
  
  Frankly, I can't think of a wedding I've ever been to with no favors.  Maybe that's because of the tradition-bound region of the country I live in.  But I think favors are a classy way to show your respect and appreciation for these people who unplugged from their own lives to plug into yours...

  Well I live in this region as well, and I'm not doing favors either. I'm pretty sure people aren't trying to be risrespectful they probably just forgot. I tend to forget them because I am having so much fun.

  I 100% believe in favors. However I understand that some guests leave the favors, but I also believe thatn some cases its do to the guests not knowing its a take home item. I am a food favor kind of bride and to avoid being left behind you can have them handed to your guests as they leave for your "Grand Exit"
