Hi Knotties,

We're working on a story about bad wedding favors. Anyone ever been to a wedding with an awful wedding favor? Reply here and let us know!

Thank you!

Worst wedding favors I've received were handmade soaps that smelled awful. Doubt I'll ever use them, feel bad about throwing them out though...

Tiny little salt and pepper shakers.

Nice wallet photos of the couple. I just don't like the assumption that I'm going to use that photo, and it's hard to throw away.

Anything with the date of the wedding and name of the couple - seriously no one keeps any of that stuff (and no more tiny frames!!!)

A Hawaiian lei like the plastic flowered one you can buy at a party store. I know it matched the theme of the party but really what am I going to do with that!

I can't stand those funky smelling candles with the couple's name on it.

The worst was a personalized room freshner with the couple's name, wedding date and a quote saying "Wishing you a breath of fresh air." It smelled like an industrial cleaner from a truck stop bathroom.

Tiny picture frame with hearts on and with photo of the couple included.

One of those plant a seed favors from a wedding in winter. Those are only good for a few weeks, I don't know why the bride had her heart set on those despite the time of year.

I haven't been to very many weddings, but I do not like personalized wedding koozies. It's even worse when there is some inside joke printed on them that I am clearly not a part of. They are so cheap and I never use them! Whenever I think of a koozie I picture a frat guy drinking Busch Light. Very un-bridal.

ONE champagne glass per couple with a pink picture of precious moments and the bride and grooms names.

wine stoppers (common favor) that dont stop the wine

Not getting a favor because there was only enough candy for about 1/3 guests at the candy bar. Or nobody restocked it. Either way there should be enough for everybody or nothing at all.

A CD with the bride and grooms favorite songs on it.

Tic tacs.

Yes, Tic tacs.

Lol, I thought we were in the clear until I read this!! haha My FI loves music so we thought of doing this to share with our friends and fam. Another gf did this for her wedding and she still gets requests for copies. We'll see, the other option is a well stocked cookie bar!:-)

a little mesh bag full of potpourri...really?? There were a ton left over after the wedding was finished. Yuck!

I hate anything personalized. I also hate Jordan Almonds. Really, I've yet to find a wedding favor that I actually like or found useful. Candy bar is great, but only if it has good candy on it. Way too often I see candy bars that the bride took so much time finding the exact shade of her colors that the candy all tasted like crap.

I do actually like koozies. I live at the beach, and use them all the time.
