Use it or lose it? - Favours

Joey, on June 17, 2019 at 08:44 Posted in Wedding reception 0 29

Will you send your guests home at the end of the night with a token to remember your wedding day, or a sweet treat to enjoy? Are favours something important to you, or a place to save some money and effort?

Wedding favours for your guests - will you use them or lose them?

    I am hoping to do have wine with our name and date on it. So guests can toast our one year with us wherever they are, plus a candy table. My MOH and I made a candy table for our friend's weddinh and it was so much fun.

    We might put out some cookies and chocolate near the exit, but we are also doing a late night snack which is an additional cost and way more well received. I never care for favours when I'm at a wedding, it also clutters up the table and I find that distracting.

    I like the idea of them but I’m not willing to spend much. I’d much rather put my money on an open bar for my guests and gifts for our parents and wedding party but I found some cute little key bottle openers on eBay 100 for $50 so I figure if they are good enough quality I’ll put them out and if not I’ll just make sure everyone gets drunk enough to forget about not having favours at the end of the night.

    We might give edible favours but if we can't fully decide on what favour that would be, then it would be omitted.

    We're just doing chocolates. They're already assembled and were easy to put together.

    Yup, the venue also includes a little take-home snack as your favour, plus we'll add something small along with it.

    Using. We're doing cupcakes for our cake, then we're putting the cupcakes in little boxes and placing them at every place setting and using them as favours.

    I wish I could say lose it cause I personally don’t like favours. My mom is helping pay for our favours which is nice.

    Use it. We'll have chocolate bars with personalized wrappers because I saw them online and thought they were so cool and cute.

    At this point it's a Lose It, but that could change if we find something perfect.

    We do have a photo booth that has unlimited prints - so guests can take those home!

    I'm still having a hard time with this one. I mean, we're paying for everyones dinner the night before AND the whole wedding day. So I think we will probably lose it.

    Using it! I like having a small token of thanks - even if it's just some chocolate!

    Personally don't see the point in giving a favor, you're already paying for everyone's dinner! So we've nixed it!

    Use it. We are doing one per couple so we don't spend too much money on them. But it is a nice little token for our guests

    Use it! Edibles or usable gifts that are thoughtful as décor makes a nice piece to see.

    Use it- I think if people are making effort to come to the wedding you should do a small thank you as everyone or most people realize will be giving a gift.

    Nothing is set in stone, but I would like to use them. As long as they are usable. I see too many times where people give something that they will just throw away like a drink cozy so I will try and stay away from that.
