Okay we are definitely hitting a Dilemma!! So a wedding is already costly!! We are already paying for unlimited drinks, food, the venue, music, decorations lol! We live in the Atlanta area so all of those things are super costly especially the venue 😩! So i feel like this is the favor lol but i really have no idea what to really do! Because i don’t want to be rude but we also don’t want to add more cost. Are Favors Mandatory??? And if you have any ideas for a not so costly favor??

    I think they are unnecessary, especially since most people forget them and you end up with loads of stupid favors hahaha. I am having a caricature artist so I felt that is a takeaway people can have if they want. We also will have soooo much food and dessert people will be able to take home. We are also doing T-shirt’s and I feel like if people don’t want them I can always use them for sleeping purposes 😂😂

    Skip them. I watched a vlog that was really helpful. It was what guest don't care about and favors was something. If you feel that you need to do something make some "drink tokens" or some Hershey kisses in a bag

    We had the same dilemma and decided against them. If I did do them, I wanted to do them right and well, that’s expensive! I’d rather put the money toward other things.

    Favors arent really necessary because they always end up in the trash anyways. In my opinion favors are just a waste of money that could have went towards something else you really wanted. We opted not to do any favors because we just dont think it matters enough.

    Absolutely by no means. Just skip them, no one will notice, and if they do, they probably won't mind. you're already spending so much on the wedding, no need to pend even more on something the guests will just throw away.

    We are doing favors, but my mom (who is part French) is making macarons and we're going to buy a bulk of small plastic clear boxes and give each guest 2. This isn't going to be very expensive and we still wanted to give the guests something small and delicious.

    You can also donate to your favorite charity in your guests' honors.

    It seems guests would prefer more food and drinks vs favors that they will probably grab but leave behind at the wedding.
    Save the money and put the money towards something more important
