We havin an outdoor ceremony w/ fans that double as programs and we are giving sparklers to guest to use during our exit.

Should we do another favor or is that enough? I have friends who HATE taking home some little plastic do dad, but I personally hate going to weddings where there seems to be no appreciation for the guests time or money spent on celebrating with you.

    A few posts down is a poll on edible favors. If you do a favor, I would high suggest an edible one.

    Not to be rude but I personally dont consider either of those to be favors. I personally dont care if I receive a favor but If you are someone who appreciates when you receive a little thank you favor from the bride and groom then you should probably throw something else into the mix. Just my opinion.

    I would agree with SpringChicken on this one. I wouldn't really consider those favors. I think the edible favors that were mentioned are great ideas!

    I wouldn't consider either of those things favors.  That said, I've never been to a wedding that had favors that weren't edible and of the weddings that had edible favors, I never even remembered that we got them till someone reminded me when planning my own wedding.  I couldn't care less about getting a favor. In fact, I wouldn't bother spending money on it.  As a guest, there are few non edible favors that I would want to have, most I'd throw out and I wouldn't consider it some sort of wonderful consideration on your part.  I'd rather just have great food and have a good time and if it's in your budget, you could provide transportation from the hotel to the ceremony or something.  A nice thank you note would mean a lot more than a favor.

    I vote for favors that are edible and only a small amount. People just leave them behind and you have tossed your money to the wind.

    Andee, what do you mean by a small amount?  As in, not getting a favor for each person in case some don't take it?  I agree that not everyone will take it but it's pretty risky to order less than the amount of people you're inviting.  If someone didn't get one, I'd feel really bad.  It'd be worse than not having favors at all to exclude someone accidentally.

    Oh no, I mean for example a small box/container of jordan almonds for each person or a samll paper cone for cookies.  Keeping the amount per person low but something for everyone.

    I was thinking about doing a cone of colored paper with m&ms in it.  Its cheap and is thoughtful and a little something sweet that the guests can munch on while driving home.  An elaborate favor is not necessary.  You spent adequate money on your guests (food and alcohol) to show your appreciation for their time and money on your gift.
