Not having favors?

allykev22 · July 2011

I'm thinking of not having favors at all. I think they are nice, but to me it just seems like an expense I don't really need. I'm trying to keep our wedding very inexpensive. Will my guests be offended if there are no favors? Are these expected? Any advice would be appreciated!

I doubt your guests will even notice if you don't have favors. It definitely something you can cut to save money.

Completely optional and not expected. Save yourself the money.

Favors are completely optional so feel free to cut them to make your budget more affordable. Your guests will not be offended if they do not get a favor.

I am not doing favors.

I'm a firm believer that favors are useless junk except edible favors which I think is also useless since 5 seconds later it is gone and anyway you are already feeding your guests probably a meal and dessert.!!!! Whomever thought up the idea should be hogtied and put away. Probably someone with money enough to throw out the windows like confetti at New Years! CANDY BAR is also the stupidest thing I ever heard of. I am doing one because my daughter wants one.... But it's still ridiculous!

Thanks for posting this question! I was going to ask it myself. I'm cutting favors as well and wondered if peoople would feel slighted; now I know.

Good luck to all of you!

lol @ Lynne101! I think favors are stupid too, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one

Thank you so much for asking this question! I've been stressing over this same thing. I had thought they were just a waste of money, but then my Mom said she used to think that too a few years ago but was afraid I probably had to do them anyway because they've become expected. Such a relief to hear that they're not! (One less thing on the checklist too! Score!)

Nothing wrong with skipping favors. They are just a nice extra touch. But your guests will most likely not miss them.

I think we'll skip the favors, too! I was wondering about that; to me it seems that I've been to weddings were so many favors were left on the tables by guests, and that's just money down the drain.

I'd rather spend $ on other things.

Thank you for asking this question. I have been going back and forth with get or not getting favors. I think I am going to cut this expense.
