Skipping favors?

Don't stress.

We didn't do it. We opted to upgrade our booze selection instead.

I haven't decided. I wouldn't feel bad not doing them. Most of them just end up getting tossed anyway.

Everyone will tell you no favors, and it's completely up to you! Do you have something in mind, is it in your budget? They are totally not necessary and we're only doing them because a big spot in our budget just opened up, and everyone needs more cookies and tequila in their life!

No reason to stress. Favors for a wedding are totally unnecessary and in most cases, get left behind or thrown out. As long as there's music, food and booze, your guests will likely have a great time. You can put the $ to much better use.

We aren't doing them. We are offering to go containers with the dessert table though if anyone wants to take those items back to the hotel.

You can skip. I did them because my mom did them, she wanted to help with the wedding and took this on (without being asked). She also did welcome bags and it made her feel very involved in wedding planning without any of the stressful stuff..

We only did them because they were VERY important to both our moms for reasons that escape me. don't worry about them, or if you do decide to do them, do something consumable.

We've been to 5 weddings this season... there was only one with favors and most were left.

Thanks everyone. I never thought of any or planned it in my budget because I never planned on having favors. I just feel like when people ask me about it, and I mention that I'm not having any, they always look at me kind of funny. Maybe it's all in my head lol. I figured a bunch of food and an open bar was enough.

We didn't do favors. There was nothing I could come up with that I thought people would actually like and take home at the end of the night.

The last 3 weddings I went to didn't have them and I didn't care

We are not doing them. It is just not in our budget. We are instead having a welcoming pizza party for our out of town guests the night before the wedding. For us, it just made sense to appropriate that money there. I am not well versed on etiquette but I think this is ok.

It is a second wedding for both of us and my family is a large Italian family - we are having a HUGE cookie table instead of cake - my Aunts are all making the cookies homemade and we will have some cute to go containers for those.

I didn't do favors. Instead we donated the centerpiece flowers to a charitable group that breaks them down into smaller arrangements and delivers them to nursing homes, VA centers, hospitals etc. to brighten someone else's day.

If it's not super important to you, use that money elsewhere. I only recall one favor from a wedding, and that's because it was a snack for the ride home, everything else was lost or thrown away. We are doing a popcorn favor bar, but this will also double as a snack during the cocktail hour.

If it is not super important to you, don't do them. From all accounts they are stress inducing and not needed. We put the $$$ towards liquor!!

We skipped favors it was in our budget, but I just didn't think anyone would care.

Don't stress. I didn't have favors, nobody asked after them, they were not missed. If you really want them, remember that a lot of cutesy things get left. Edible is best.

We're not doing any! My sister got married in Jan of this year and there were a ton left over or people (besides your very close family/friends) don't really keep theirs for too long when you think about it!

Majority of the time. They end up in someone's trash can.

Don't stress over it.

I'm so on the fence about this! But I don't think you should feel guilty at all
