Favors

If I don't give favors does that make me a horses a$$ or smart logical person?

Re: Favors

  • The Olds won't like it.  But then my favors were donations to Sierra Club in the name of my guests, so they probably didn't like that either.

  • I imagine they won't but by the time they get home and think "Oh $hit I left my favor" they'll realize why there wasn't any and think I'm genius!
  • we did not do favors, i heard no grumblings.

  • I don't think people pay much attention either way, honestly.
  • i didnt do favors, i donated to the ALS association and i didnt announce it and never heard a complaint.

  • We did favors solely because I like the boxes too much not to use them.I became a bit, um, obsessed with things made of paper when I was planning.

  • i had them. but it wasnt like i heard anything about them, so i assume they were small on everyones priority list.
  • We didn't do favors per se but at the last minute I decided to do a candy buffet, and people went apeshiit over that thing. Most favors are a complete waste, though. No one wants a candle or a tiny jar of honey or a monogrammed fan to schlep home.

  • Then you'll love the paper lanters I got!!!
  • Mod, you're right.  Maybe I was trying to ensure I would always have a snack if I got nervous on the day.I'm with Fitty, though.  Favors should either be consumable or charity donations.  No one wants a frame with your initials on it.

  • now a candy bar is something i could totally get behind. even though im not a fan of candy, i think they are very cute. i kind of wish i had done one since all of our relatives are sugar fiends.

  • we had a candy table. we got this three tiered candy cake covered in willy wonka stuff. our favors were edible m&ms. all candy because my husband has a sweet tooth.
  • People generally always go apesh*t for a candy bar. I did these local gourmet jumbo pecan/carmel apples and people were nuts for them. If you want to do them, do food. If you don't do them, I really don't think people will think anything of it. I never do.

  • caramel apples?? i think that would be my most favorite favor ever.

  • We just scattered a bunch of buttons with the bride & groom on a cupcake drawing that we had on all our paper stuff across the tables. People pinned them to their fancy clothes and I felt like I was campaigning.

  • But yeah, I'm always on board with food. Some friends of mine gave away cookies from the cafe where they used to go on lunch dates. That was pretty awesome.

  • I used to hate the candy bars, I thought they were to pre-school.....then I went to a wedding with one and spent a good hour at the table eating at random.
  • We did beer koozies. I see them at every friend and family party we go to.

  • I've been to a handful of weddings this year.  About half gave favors and half didn't, and no one commented either way.  We did chocolate because it was easy to do through our venue.  I don't think you'll get a huge negative reaction if you don't do anything.

  • I'm just cheap and would rather put that money towards reducing the price of booze. I hope they don't mind :)
  • most guests prefer booze so I would put your money there.
  • We did small bottles of wine as favors.  And they doubled as table cards.  I don't think it matters either way, but something edible or drinkable usually get a better reaction.  At least from me.  And by edible, I mean something I can ingest on the way home, not honey or a jar of spice.
