    We aren't doing them. It's always either bags of m&ms that get wet from the table or a shot glass I throw out after a few months when I no longer feel guilty trashing it. At least, this has been the weddings I have gone to. I don't have the money to spend on anything other than some cheap candy in tulle bags, so I'm just forgoing them.

    I don't think they're absolutely necessary, but I think they're a nice to do. FMIL and FH's grandmother are making homemade strawberry jelly for everyone as our favor. FH's grandmother makes delicious strawberry jelly that I LOVE so I thought that was sweet of them to offer to make! I went to a wedding in December for one of my high school friends, and her favors were small wood ornaments with the Tennessee state flag on them. I was SO excited to get that as a favor but accidentally left it at the wedding and was super upset!

    We're not having favors. With the wedding less than two weeks away, we are only now considering a photo booth. They guests can take the prints home as favors.

    I don't think they are necessary. Especially things like koozies and key chains.

    I am doing koozies, because we will have bottles or cans of beer and a lot of our guests will use them. I think it's a know your crowd thing. Definitely don't waste hundreds of dollars on something you don't think anyone will use. Debating on doing homemade macarons or something similar as well just as an extra treat.
