Not doing wedding favors... Rude or preference?

What about something super cheap like flower seed packets with a cute note on them??

It's fine to go without favors. They are optional, not necessary.

Favors are completely unnecessary. I'm skipping them too.

We're skipping favors as well.

Cut the favors. You can also skip chair covers and programs.

You dont need to have favors!

If you feel weird about it then you can possibly do something cheap and easy but honestly most things (besides food) are not something people really want to take home... I have no need for flower seeds, votives/ornaments/boxes with someone elses name and wedding date on it.

I hardly ever take the favor, and I can't remember which weddings had them or didn't. Skip it.

History on favors.

One of the earliest accounts of a wedding favor dates back to 16th century England. It was common for couples to give love knots constructed from lace and ribbon to each of their guests as a favor and to represent their bond of love. Throughout history, favors have evolved into a tradition that can be seen around the world.

Totally optional! Happy planning

Most of the time the favors are either left at the venue, in the hotel, or make it to the trash. It's perfectly fine to skip them!

Skip them.

Not necessary.

It's fine to go without.

Definitely not necessary. I've never gone to a wedding and been disappointed that there weren't favors.

You can skip favors. They are not necessary.

Thank you all! I was just curious the proper wedding etiquette. You all answered it for me.

Skipping favors!

Not necessary. Half the guests will leave them behind anyways.

My favors are bubbles for my departure and a candy buffet so I don't feel they will go to waste

@The Pink Office Weddings that is a cute and cheep idea actually, with a little paper explaining it!

The only favor I want at a wedding is open bar!!
