Favors
HELP?!?!
Hi guys,
I will be getting married in June and we will be having approximately 500 guest attending. I havn't decided on the favors for the simple fact that they are very expensive. My Fiance just graduated from college and I still have a couple years to go so we are on a tight budget if anyone can give me some good but inexpensive ideas that would be great!
Thanks so much,
Kris

Re: HELP?!?!
That is a lot of guests...
Remember, favors aren't required. IMHO, you'd stress yourself out putting together that many favors.
If you still really want to have favors stick to something edible, and think about things that you and your FI like.

Favors are never required. You can skip them. But, seriously.... if you are on tight budget, why in the hell are you inviting 500 people? That is a ridiculous guest list.

stick to your closest friends and family. thats what the wedding is about.
if you must have favors, there are cheap favors out there but anything is going to add up when you have 500 guests
As another bride who knows who how it is to have a large family and guest list, trying to think of favours is difficult. My guest list is bordering on 400 and my fiance thought to give away goldfish for each couple/family. Think of something unique that relates to the two of you and share it with your guests. Good luck

Omg. Do NOT give away live animals as a favor. This is horrible.

Skip them. They aren't necessary, required, or expected.
And if anyone handed me a live goldfish at a wedding, I would refuse to take it. So plan on being stuck with all 400 of them.
With All the Trimmings
My fiance and I are in the same boat as you. We have actually decided to not do any favors, just for the sheer fact that that is one of the least important aspects of the wedding. We had to cut something out, so that's what we did. We are actually thinking about having a "photo booth" where they can get their picture taken and then we will mail it to our guests with the thank you cards.

Ummm. That would be expensive. So that's not really helping her.
