    I sort of have 2. Our table placement cards are tags attached to skeleton key bottle openers. Also we are having a photo booth and bought magnetic frames that have a cute little saying inside so the guests can visit the booth and create their own memory favor.

    We just decided! We are using pyramid shaped boxes with chocolate espresso beans inside, and then attaching our place cards to those since we are having an outdoor wedding and need some way to hold the cards down! I can’t even take credit, all of that was FH’s idea!

    We are having a fall rustic wedding and think favors are pretty much left behind always unless that are edible so we opted to do an edible favor. I'm making apple butter to go with the fall theme and then I am canning them. Worst case scenario if they get left then I get yummy apple butter! haha

    We bought a bunch of bottle openers shaped by antique keys and will be putting skittles in the pillow boxes that attach to the keys. Pretty inexpensive but super cute and totally us.

    First we talked about coasters, then decided nobody would want them, now we are talking about a caricaturist for either cocktail hour or dancing, that way people can choose whether or not they want to participate and we won't have anything left behind.

    I found some pretty cute favor ideas on Etsy. There are tons of options and most of them for a good price! I am doing these!

    We did not do them, people tend to forget them and unless it is a commercially prepared food item I skip it. Put the money into more apps, higher end liquor, etc. Gotta be blunt: No one wants a koozie or a coaster with your wedding date on it.

    I keep going back and forth on whether I want to do this and I think we have officially decided not to. Most people will probably end up throwing away whatever they get (unless we spend a ton of money on personalized cups or koozies) so we see it as a waste of money.

    My FH and i are on the fence about favors. When my cousin got married, she had bottle openers and i thought i would use it but its still sitting in the box. I, personally, think we could use the money somewhere else such as flowers, venue reception, etc.

    We're still up in the air about these. If the favor seems functional we always love to take them with! If we did something it will probably be something edible like a small bag of popcorn with a cute saying or photo of us on it or something. Or maybe a wrapped up cookie or something similar.

    We bought stemless wine glasses from the $ store and I'm using a Cricut machine to make two different stencils appropriate to us (car for him, paw prints for me) with our initials and date and etch the designs on the glass with etching cream; one design per glass. 90% of our guests are couples so each couple will get two glasses, one of each design. We'll fill with burgundy (our color) tissue paper and silver Hershey kisses.

    I know a lot of people think favors are a waste and I definitely debated about doing them. We opted for these in the end. Good luck!!
