So my wedding is 12/22, 2 months away, yikes!! Super excited. I have a question for you ladies, though: I can't decide what I should do for wedding favors. Honestly, I hate wedding favors, they are usually some cheap crap that I toss out at the nearest garbage dispenser. I considered an edible favor, but we are having tons of food, desserts, etc. so more food seems excessive. We have 140 people invited, so favors can't be too expensive. We already busted our budget on a gorgeous wedding, with an orchestra, singers, and all details done to the max. Please help. Do we even need a favor?!

You can also use the money you'd spend on favors to donate to a cause you and your future spouse are passionate about.

You could definitely skip the favors. We decided to do them, and are giving mini bags of coffee from a local roastery.

Budget was getting tight for us, didn't feel favors were necessary & not one guest has complained or ask where theirs was, etc.
I'd skip them.

The only wedding favor I have really enjoyed in the past has been a koozie. I know they are a cheap option that people actually could use in the future.

Since you are having a ton of food why not have little baggies especially at the dessert table for people to take some home. That's what they did at a wedding I went to. They put the extra cake in boxes for people to take.

Skip the favors. Put the money into more food.

You're fine with skipping them. We're doing little bags of Hershey's kisses, but you really don't have to. If I had thought about it, I probably would've skipped them. I just assumed that we would need them, and so I didn't think until after the supplies were ordered and some were put together that I could just skip and have saved $75.

We were successfully married on Saturday without a single favor and no one missed them. I think they were much more happy with dinner and the amazing bar service.

It's fine to skip them, but I disagree that people won't care. I always look forward to seeing what couples picked as their favor when I attend weddings. I also wouldn't count a photobooth strip as a favor...thats just something to do at the wedding.
