Favors!! - At the table or at the door??

Angelina, on June 14, 2017 at 8:28 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 28

Hey everyone!

So the question came up at my venue appt...Should we have favors at each person's seat, or at the door when everyone is walking out? I originally said at the seats, but my caterer mentioned people tend to leave them at the table. If I put in a basket at the door, I'm nervous everyone may not grab one because there are two different areas to leave from the ballroom. What do you all think?

    Can you leave some by both exits? Or close a door so that people will need to exit through the other?

    We put our favors at their table and there were only a few that forgot but most guests took it home. They were chocolate kisses in a pouch

    We did at the door, because our favors were snacks. Warm cookies, macaroons, and popcorn. Our doc passed them out along with sparklers for our send off.

    If it was on the table I'd def leave it unless I had a clutch or just really rally thought it was cute

    @Grecoin321 that's good to know because I had my mind set on that before my caterer mentioned anything.

    The good thing about leaving them at the table is that they are edible so many people would want it. Haha

    We put ours at the place settings. We did kisses in a laser cut box. However we also had our cake sliced and boxed to go at the door. Everyone took everything.

    I'm personally going to put them at each setting because they're edible (lindt chocolates) but also because I just happen to love the way they look with the place settings!

    As a wedding guest I would more likely walk right by them when I'm leaving than I would forget it at the table. I'm likely to be a little tipsy and not scanning for favors on my way out the door.

    I'd say it depends on how much room you'll have at each place setting. Our tables are all 2 and 4 tops, so by default they'll be at the door.

    As a guest, both ways are just fine. Of course, I'm likely to forget them either way!

    Ours will be at each table setting for everyone to take. They're also complimenting our centerpieces and I can't wait to see how it all looks.

    Our favors are the holders for the place cards so people will just take it with them when they get their place cards. It's a leaf picture holder.

    Mine are going at the seats because they double as decor (pashmina shawls in variations of the wedding colors and evil eye charms).
