Wedding Favors... too much or too little?

I'd skip the shot glass and do something edible instead. Most people will leave engraved items behind so you may end up wasting a lot of money on them. Favors are also completely optional so you could always save the money and use it to upgrade the bar, add a late night snack or add a fun station to cocktail hour which your guests will likely appreciate more than a trinket.

I always discourage anything with a name and date on it. Most people don't want things like that in their house and either leave them behind or throw them in the trash soon after the wedding. You don't have to do favors. If you are set on favors, food is always a great idea. Chocolates. Little jars of jam or honey. Little bottles of olive oil. Small bags of coffee. Many other ideas too.

I would honestly skip the shot glasses. It's a cute idea, but most people don't care for engraved gifts and will leave them or get rid of them after the wedding. Favors are optional, so you don't necessarily need to have anything. If you do want some sort of favor, I would go with something edible.

We didn't have favors at our wedding. We did have little to-go boxes at our sweets table, so people could take something home that way.

I think shot glasses are perfect! We are thinking about doing them, since we collect them ourselves. If you had the money and time, you could put something cute inside like personalized mnm's or some other candy?

Honestly, don't do it. I'd probably leave it behind, or take it with me because guilt but then toss it soon afterwards. Do something edible (or drinkable) or just skip it.

I heard so many people say shot glasses are waste of money, because lot of people wont use them after they leave the party. I am doing olive oil with a little herbal stem in it, tied with a small card with name and date on it, with easy to follow recipe behind the card. If people leave this behind also, I would able to use it in the future.

Honestly, most people don't want a shot glass, or any other trinket, with someone else's name and wedding date on it. I 100% would not take that favor home.

Edible or drinkable favors are your best bet.

Love the idea of a shot glass with a little Hershey's kiss inside. Then they get a little bit of chocolate, but not too much. Or if you want, you could put a little "Ring for a Kiss" bell inside. At any rate, making them functional for the event is good. I like the idea of the shot glass because if they do take them home they are extremely functional.

I think the shot glass by itself is perfect! If you do want to add something, I would put some type of candy in them as PP have stated. Other than that, I wouldn't do much more. Shot glasses are always a fun collectable!

I think its enough of a favor but if you wanted to incorporate either a mini bottle of alcohol or have it filled with candy (like Hershey's kisses) I think it could add the overall favor.

I think the shot glass is fine- but I wouldn't put name/date. Maybe location if you're getting married in an interesting city or fill it up with chocolate like others said?

Hi Kailey! I think the shot glass would be such a cute favor! I think just the shot glass is fine. What was your fiancée thinking of adding to it?

Maybe I'm in the minority but I would totally keep a shot glass with someone's wedding info on it - I think it's a cute memory! I don't see what's wrong with that at all. I think the shot glass is fine on it's own but you could always fill them with a few Hershey's kisses if it will make FH happier.
