Favors

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

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.

wingedbride · November 2009

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.

SarahBethBR · November 2009

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.

modb1rd · November 2009

well you have a tendency SB

wingedbride · November 2009

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.

wingedbride · November 2009

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.

ChristinS · November 2009

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.

EmilyJo · November 2009

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

noisy_penguin · November 2009

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.

noisy_penguin · November 2009

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.

jenm10 · November 2009

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.

KristenBtobe · November 2009

We did beer koozies. I see them at every friend and family party we go to.

HappyTummy613 · November 2009

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.

jenm10 · November 2009

I'm just cheap and would rather put that money towards reducing the price of booze. I hope they don't mind

wingedbride · November 2009

most guests prefer booze so I would put your money there.

GroomzMcFinehiney · November 2009

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.

jenm10 · November 2009

Groomz that picture is f'n fantastic!!

wingedbride · November 2009

that is the beauty of a shot that in hindsight looks like some genius photoshopped the most awesome thing ever.

EmilyJo · November 2009

hahahhahahahaha!!!

KristenBtobe · November 2009

Oh em gee. Hilarious.

HappyTummy613 · November 2009

That is excellent.

noisy_penguin · November 2009

Before I read it I thought it was Tasty.
