Re: Wedding Favors...2 Questions

  • We did one per person. But we filled a celophane bag with nostalgic candy. We had 10 people not show and only went home with 4 favors.
  • 1 - never heard of it 2 - I think it'd depend on the wedding favor. 
  • 1 I haven't heard of them. 2 Depends on the favor. Bottle of wine 1 per couple. candy, carmel apple, etc one per person. Something with your name on it--don't give this crap out.
  • 1. Nope, sorry. 2. Depends on the favor. We did personalized candy and had one favor per person. If it had been something like a bottle of champagne, one per couple would work.
  • 1 no. 2 If the favor is candy, I'd do one per person b/c I like candy, esp. chocolate, and I'd want my own.  If it's a thing, you may be able to do one per couple.
  • 1. never heard of them 2. I'm with the rest of them. It all depends on what it is.
  • Never heard of it.We had both. I had homemade buttermints at every place setting. And I had customized Yankee Candle votives between the place setting. So those were 1 per couple. I also had matches for everyone, but I don't think those count as favors...Hope this helps!
  • We are doing a favor special for us...we live in the DC area but getting married in NY.  The favor will be a candle shaped like a wedding cake with a cherry blossom tree on it.  Maybe this helps on the per person or per couple debate?
  • P.S. If it was something like a candle, or a baby bamboo plant,  I wouldn't mind sharing with DH, but I do not want to share my candy!
  • I would say one per couple
  • Jillzlee- I wouldn't want to share my candy either!
  • Are you really set on that favor? The thing is if I got that I would most likely either leave it there or throw it out after a week. If you are REALLY into the favor though 1 per couple would be fine.
  • So... I per couple is good... because very few guys will be disappointed that they don't have a wedding cake shaped candle with pink flowers on it. :) But don't forget the singles! Not everyone comes in couple form. And weddings are not the funnest time to be reminded of that.

  • 1- No 2- I've never gotten a 1 per couple favor-- I've only ever gotten individual favors.  But on my local board it seems like couple favors are not uncommon.  I think it depends on what you give.  I can see why things like full bottles of wine would be one per couple, but it seems weird that couples only get half a bottle per person while singles get a full bottle to themselves.  And distributing the favors equitably can be tricky because people may not figure out the 1 per couple rule.
