Are Wedding Favors a Must?

Hey Ladies. Are there any of you who are NOT giving out wedding favors? Are they an absolute must? I don't want to seem cheap, but we are almost over budget and one part of my brain says "I am paying for food and desert and everything else, the experience should be enough".

Hey Ladies. Are there any of you who are NOT giving out wedding favors? Are they an absolute must? I don't want to seem cheap, but we are almost over budget and one part of my brain says "I am paying for food and desert and everything else, the experience should be enough". I have been to plenty weddings, grabbed favors and threw them away shortly thereafter. The other part of my brain says "Don't be ratchet, have the favors". Honestly, I feel like they are a waste of money. Am I wrong?

    Yours not wrong! I think it’s a place to save some money, since most people throw out the favors anyways. I’m not doing them.

    We're having koozies (we're from Texas) and then getting personalized cookie bags off of Etsy and filling them with homemade cookies (my mother is a cookie fanatic). It's something to grab on your way out but nothing to keep that's going to get shoved in a drawer. Plus, slightly intoxicated people will appreciate it.

    I was worried about this but realized that the photo booth provided the favors.

    Honestly the only favors I usually keep are matches. I don’t think it’s necessary, especially if you’re on a tight budget

    We probably won’t in an effort to save some money. If change our minds, I thought it would be fun to do small bags of loose leaf tea or coffee beans. FH and I met at a coffee shop and we go to them quite a bit.

    Haha agreed! My mom was really trying to pressure us to do favors but quickly changed her tune when I told her I only would if she dealt with storing any leftovers 💁🏽‍♀️
