    Not necessary but we’re doing them because I bought cute butterfly boxes. FH is charge of picking the favor, he’s torn between jars of honey or “dragon scales”(it’s a candy)

    You don't need them, I usually save one and just stare at it lol. We are doing favors but we are doing chocolates and fridge magnets. I am hoping with them being magnets they wont just get thrown away and will be useful, I mean, who doesn't love a fridge magnet lol.

    We are doing Koozies! I found a relatively cheap shop on Etsy that did them and they’re so cute!

    They aren't necessary! We did them but had plenty of time & it was in budget so it didn't take away from other things.

    We’re having a photo booth, and a ribbon wand grand exit. I figure the photo booth will serve as a wedding favor they’ll want to take home and they can take the ribbon wand home if they want to

    Not necessary at all! We did customized scented candles (many people left these) and doggy cake treats (ran out early - lots of our guests have dogs).

    They are only necessary if they're in your budget and you want them. If I do them they'll be edible like mini apple pies because of the wedding being in fall.

    We did individual s’mores but you don’t need favors. Keep the money because most people forget them.

    They are so not necessary but we went with bottle openers in the shape of antique keys. They come with pillow boxes to attach with ribbon that we will fill with trick or treat size bags of Skittles. Edible favors tend to be popular. I have seen a few people use cozies, but one couple ended up with way too many at the end. I think we picked up half their stock 2 years later for camping.

    We are skipping favors and spending the money on alcohol!

    Nope- not necessary. I personally think they're such a waste.

    I tried to think back to a favor I have received from someone else's wedding. Every single one ended up in the trash. If you're on a budget- I'd skip the favors. They'll either get tossed when the guest gets home or the guest simply won't take one and you'll toss them yourself.

    We're skipping favors; instead we're making donations to our favorite charities.

    Favors aren't required! We're planning on cookies since edible favors are always a hit

    They’re a nice idea but I’ve considered skipping them as well. Lots of the weddings we’ve been to, the majority of the guests leave them, forget them, or don’t even notice them.

    No offense to those who have done it but anything personalized with the bride and groom's wedding date I will skip. Commercially prepared food, maybe!!!
