Wedding Favors: Yea or Nay?

Me and my FH are making candles to give out as favors.

Great idea! Any particular scent or will there be a variety to choose from?!

No we are skipping this.

I think we are skipping this too. If there is room in our already tight budget, maybe, but not likely. We want our wedding to be a hell of a party interrupted by a wedding!

Heck no. They are a HUGE waste of money

they are not that important to me, so if i do them, they will be very inexpensive and simple

I've been considering skipping this, but go back and forth with it. I've read so many things about how pointless this gesture can be, or how unnoticed it goes. Lots of people leaves these behind (I did it at my cousin's wedding with every intention to take mine home with me!)

We're going with koozies in our wedding colors. Keeping it simple!

Yay...want to do something practical but adorable

That's a great idea! Are you putting any details on the koozies or just getting them in your wedding colors?!

Love that last line!!! I feel like that should be quoted on your invitation

We just might! That's our next step...finding an invitation that matches us!

I'm having a photo booth. The pics will be the favor, as I don't see the need for too much more than that. If money were no object I would most definitely do something else, but BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET....lol

Nope! they're already getting a buffet dinner, open top shelf bar, photo booth, cupcakes, an awesome DJ, and watching us love birds get married! they don't need a souvenir except the great memories!

We will have a mix of navy & fuschia koozies with gold lettering! Once we come up with a hashtag it will include that & our names and the wedding date.

Yay! Good way to thank your guests for coming. We're doing small candles for our favors!

I'm not sure about the other commenters here, but this is an expectation at every event and wedding, family or friend wise, and would be considered very rude where I'm from to not have favors! My FH and I were thinking about Nik-L-Nips in an organza bag.

We are making personalized ornaments (out of seashells) that will be both escort cards and favors. Our wedding is right before Christmas and we will have them displayed on a lighted tree.

Such a good idea!! Have you two started working on them yet?! Dying to see what they look like!!

We havent started yet but we are collecting the shells slowly. The inspiration came from these:

Name would be here

design would be on the outside of the shell and would correspond to the table name

Another thought for the outside

Because each table will have a slightly different look based on a different fantasy world and the ornaments are going to match that world, we have to wait until we get RSVPs back to start making them because we need a seating chart first. But we are planning on making one as if everyone says yes and as each table gets mostly full we will start theirs.
