Wedding favors

Favors are not a necessity.

Absolutely not a necessity! If your can fit them into the budget they’re fun, but cutting them is not a big deal at all!

View Quoted Comment That's good to know! I'm trying to plan a low budget wedding and wasn't quite sure if those were needed.

View Quoted Comment Honestly there’s nothing that guests are “entitled” to. They’re there to celebrate your marriage not get stuff, they’ll be happy just to be a part of your special day and get to spend time with you. Just focus on what’s important for you to have and what fits in the budget, don’t go crazy trying to make other people happy the is about you!

Nope! They're totally optional. If you'd feel comfortable offering something though, edible ones like cookies are great!

Nope, favors have fallen out of favor in the lady decade or two. Provided good food & drinks are the “thank you” to guests for attending your ceremony. Totally ok to skip!

In the “last” decade not “ lady.” Stop correcting me, Siri. 😝

Personally, I feel like guest favors are a waste of money.

Not necessary. We wont be having any.

No they aren't. I bought mints for each table plate that say "Mint to be, Thank you for celebrating with us" and have a mini dessert bar for guest.

Not necessary, but a nice touch.


A luggage tag, bottle opener, edible favor, little ornament, flashlight, tote bag or coozie are all easy to transport and make a nice favor.

Nope! You could always offer up boxed leftover cake or dessert as a cheap/ easy favor- we're doing cookies. But I think them getting to share the day with you and get fed is plenty!

Definitely not. This is a place you can save some money and guests will never think twice.

Nope...not at all. With that being said though, we bought some cheap favor boxes and we are planning on putting M&Ms in them. We figure that since we are getting married 2/1 then we should be able to score some Valentine’s Day colored ones.

I'm not doing favors either. People either forget them, throw them out, or put them in a drawer to gather dust. The money could and will be put to better use somewhere else.

I don't think they're necessary. We aren't giving anyone anything to take home with them but we are having a dessert bar and a hot chocolate bar that will act as the "wedding favors" because they will be available for our guests to take home with them.

They are a no go for me .At the weddings I have attended most of the favors have been left behind to only go in the trash. That money is better off be used on something you really want or in your pocket book. 🙂

No, my hubby and I are not doing it. We know the top 3 things we wanted to spend money on the most and that definitely was not one of them. What I learn more and more is that it's your wedding and you shouldn't feel pressured to do traditions you don't want to do. A lot of traditions are becoming a thing of the past now.
