Hey,

What kind of party favors are you beautiful individuals getting for your wedding guests?

I am having a smaller wedding (Probably not surpassing 70 people)

For those having weddings with a larger number of guests, what sort of party favor best fit your budget and was perfect for you and your fiance?

    Doing a credit card bottle opener with our names and date. Small wedding and it’s at the beach who doesn’t need a bottle opener at the beach. Lol 😜

    We are doing 3 pieces of sponge candy in cellophane with little Amarula bottles tied to it (a South African alcohol, kind of like a Baileys).

    Yup. Most are left behind. We skipped for our DW because my family hosted a “welcome BBQ” and we did 5-star food & open bar. 🙂

    As a guest, I’d really only want edibles: chocolate, coffee, cake pop. I don’t want “stuff” like koozies, bottle opener, glasses, etc.

    We're doing chocolate chip cookies. We're inviting 125. My FH manages at a popular dessert restaurant, so our cake and the cookies are all free.

    I skipped them. We put more money into the food and drink!

    My future FIL is a bee keeper. Putting little honey jars at every seat. Also got sunglasses with Sam & Jen for the win. Printed on the side.

    We have about 230 people attending our wedding. We are doing a photo booth and a candy bar. The photo booth is $329.00 and our candy bar is going to be around 400 including 100 bags of cotton candy. We tried to keep a $3.00 per guest budget.

    My best friend is getting married this fall and she's doing s'mores. They're cute the way she is putting them together- she is a graphic artist and very artistically inclined so she is writing a little inscription on papers for them. Itll be cute and affordable.

    I had a small wedding last weekend about 65 ppl and we gave guests silver decorated boxes with wedding ribbons & labels. Inside was a slice of Jamaican black cake and hershey's kisses. My fiance is from the West Indies. It was a hit because ppl often collect so many favors and have no use or even space for them. We thought of an edible favor because of our experiences with so many party favors.

    We're not doing them. We're putting it towards booze and food. We don't need a bunch of leftover stuff, if people don't take them, and most of our guests will be from out of state and flying.

    I am renting a photo booth but I had two other ideas in mind in case the photo booths were booked luckily they weren’t but here are my two other ideas
    1) Customized M&Ms you can upload you and your FHs picture online and it will be on the back of the M&Ms. you can pick three colors and words to have on then like “Thank You” or “Just married” and also your names. You can buy small candy bags or boxes from Amazon and put them in there.
    2) I was going to order “Thank You” cards from shutterfly with me and fiancés picture and buy frames at the dollar store, spray paint them gold and have one in each table for guests to take home.

    Hope this helps

    We’ll be doing something similar to this and a candy table. Our venue has a fire pit so they’ll be able to actually roast the s’mores then if they want

    We are doing silk fans for the ladies and paper fans for the guys. The guys said they wouldn't hold silk fans... They are personalized with our names, wedding date, and Mr. & Mrs. Logo. Then mint tins with the same personalisation. Godiva dark chocolate for the table. And we were going to do cigars with personalized wrappers but no one warmed up to cigar idea, so we are using the personalized cigar wrappers and wrapping them around white chocolate dipped pretzels. Good luck and congratulations on your special day!

    We hand painted lobster buoy Christmas ornaments for everyone. They will have their escort cards tied to them. Hoping everyone takes them home, those suckers took forever to paint.

    We are doing cookies for our favors, with personalized bags to take them home in. Edible favirs are always best!

    Our wedding is small too, less than 60 people. I will have a display of custom made, personalized lollipops that have our name and date on the wrapper, with little signs I made that say “Love is sweet” “take a treat”. I also got some personalized decks of playing cards as a fun little extra. We are getting married in Vegas so I didn’t want guests to have to deal with hauling favors home.
