Wedding favors

My FOH and I are having a hard time deciding what to have for wedding favors. What are some things you guys are doing? (Our wedding is in November)

    We didn't do any. They aren't necessary.

    However, if you have a theme to your wedding, you can do favors in line with the theme. Other popular favors are candy or other edibles.

    Think about things that people might actually want to take home - mugs, specialty teas, etc.

    Unless they're edible, most will be left behind. Save the money for food/drink/entertainment that guests will enjoy and remember.

    Not necessary. But if you want to, for fall fun ideas: candied apple, cider donut holes, gingerbread or pumpkin spice cookie, carrot or spice cake pop. Edible only or they’ll get left behind.

    We had a photo booth at our wedding and used our strips as our favors. As the PP's have said, majority of favors get left behind. So the photo strips were perfect. Unless it is something personalized to them or edible, I wouldn't waste your money. Please don't use favors.

    We bought mini jars (I think they were 1.5oz?) from Amazon for cheap, and are planning to fill them each with chocolate-covered cherries, since the town we're getting married in is known for their cherries. It's nothing too elaborate, and we figured that any favors left behind could be consumed by us.

    I personally am not a fan of favors. I originally wanted to do a donation in each guests name to a charity because I went to a wedding last year and loved it. However, older members of my family weren't into that so I decided to do a little smores kit for my fall wedding!

    We are doing glass vials of our favorite coffee! We're big coffee people and get Starbucks almost every time we go out, and use our own espresso machine at home, so it's something meaningful to us and very popular with everyone on our guest list!

    I'm not doing favors. As many other brides have said, they usually get left behind or stuffed in a junk drawer if guests do take them. If you feel like you should, go with something edible.

    I doing wine corks, and bottle openers. We both work and met at our airline 12 years ago and most of our work family/friends are airline affiliated so we are doing airplane openers, and since we are in JA we are doing rum cupcakes.

    I got some vintage looking bottle opener keys! I might attach tags with the guests name and table number on them. Or just place them at the table. Still deciding haha
