Food favors - is it ok?

Food is generally a great idea! People much rather have edible favors than some random stuff like wine glasses etc.

I think the idea is really cute!

I am sorry but I would rather an edible gift then a gift I may throw out apart from like a glass or something. I would do like chocolates because most people like that. If they do not then they can pass to someone else. Maybe do like a shot glass or mason jar with hershey kisses in them?

I think no matter what you go with some people won't like it.

I love the pretzel idea! That's super cute and memorable.

If you're aware of anyone on the guest list who can't eat a pretzel, you can always substitute their favour for something else.

My fiance and I are thinking of giving out little bags of coffee grounds that say "grounds for celebration" on them.

We know that not everyone there will be coffee-drinkers, but we're both coffee fanatics so it's personal to us and it's cute and memorable. It'll also save us some $$ because we can make them ourselves

I remember the favours that I was given at weddings, but I certainly have never used them!

Food is definitely a good idea for favors and you're absolutely right in saying that personalized non-edible favors generally end up collecting dust (or in the trash!). The truth is, there will always be SOME guests who don't take/eat whatever the favors may be, so I wouldn't stress over that. I think the pretzel idea is awesome and I would love this as a wedding guest!

I would do food. From my experience wedding favors get thrown away.

I think this is such a cute idea! especially with your saying. are there many vegans attending your wedding? i wouldn't worry too much about that - but talk to your venue, maybe they can accommodate you

You don't *have* to do a favor. But if you do, as PPs mentioned, food is a great option! I'm planning on doing little honey jars.

No one is expecting sunglasses, cups/drink ware, picture frames, etc. with your date on it; most of that type of stuff gets tossed.

The pretzels sound great!

SO I am invited to your wedding right because I love coffee lol. I agree you cannot please everyone so do what you want and worse case no one eats it...oh well.

My FH and I are doing food favors. We're having a dessert bar during the reception and the dessert bar will have to-go boxes with our names and wedding date on them for guests to take things home with them.

We decided on food favors b/c we didn't want our guests to take something home they would trash not long after the wedding. Also, my FSIL's and I will be making the desserts for the dessert bar so we are saving money there.

You can't please everybody, honestly. You're already hosting everyone for a very fancy dinner party! If you want to give soft pretzels, give soft pretzels.

Food favors are great! People can eat them and not have to worry about anything collecting dust
