Our venue has public metered parking. We can purchase parking passes for our guests but the minimum would be around $500. I feel silly asking people to pay for parking to come to our wedding BUT if we pay for the passes, our budget doesn't really allow favors as well. (We are also having an open bar) So, my questions are: What are your thoughts? Should we forgo favors and pay for the parking? Should we get favors and notify everyone of the parking charges? (if they have a smart phone charges can be kept up with through an app so no one will have to leave to feed the meter) Or should we just suck it up and pay for parking AND get favors? I certainly don't want to inconvenience anyone or come across as "cheap" (lets face it, nothing about any of this is "cheap" LOL)
Re: Favors, parking, or both?
Favors: 0
I honestly can't remember a single favor that I received at any wedding...
I would definitely go for the parking and make sure that it's communicated to the guests, favors are nice but as lots of people have said, they usually don't last long.
