Favor etiquette

ambercutie9 · May 2010

We are sending guests home with extra cake as wedding favors. We ordered some cute cake take-home boxes. The only issue we are having, is the fact that they are not assembled. My fiance says we should let guests fold their own box if they want to take a piece of cake. His main argument is that the boxes will take up too much space if they are pre-folded, and he doesn't want to carry pre-folded boxes to the reception area (there are only 50 boxes total). He also thinks that not all guests will take a piece of cake, and then we will have wasted time folding them. I think that we should have the boxes pre-folded for our guests. The boxes aren't necessarily hard to fold, but they are somewhat of a puzzle. I certainly can't see wasting time showing every guest how to fold them, and I don't think we should make the guests work for their favor, either. Please help us solve our dillemma! Wish we had the Marriage Ref panel

pre-fold the boxes. It seems pretty ungracious to me to throw a piece of cardboard on a table, plop a piece of cake next to it, and have your guests do the work of both assembling and filling the box-in effect, making their own favors.

Thanks for the comments and votes! I guess I have won this round.

Yeah, no guest should have to DIY their own favors. Maybe your event planner (or mom, MOH, or some other nice family member) can help fold them on the wedding day.
