could you some how use the wine stoppers as escort cards? like, attach something to it that says "joe and sally smith ~ Table 4" or "The Jones Family ~ Table 6" etc..?
No unfortunately, we're adding stickers on them to add a personal touch but all we can add is our names and the wedding date...
The labels cost heaps too so I think I will stick with 1 per guest if no partner and 1 per couple...I guess they will be sitting next to each other and work out for themselves that if there are 4 favours and 6 people, that they should only take one lol
Unless someone opposes to this idea of course...
I am only giving one favor per couple or family or one favor per person if they don't have a guest/partner with them. Sometimes people don't even take the favors (regardless of what they are) so it would be a real shame to "waste" twice as many! My friend gave our wine stoppers at her wedding and attached their escort cards to the favor (so my fiance and I took ONE wine stopper home).

Either is fine. If you set them at the table, I think it should be 1 per person. But if you have them with escort cards, then 1 per couple is fine. I'm not sure what to do if you have them set out on a table for people to grab, I'd be afraid of running out.

My FI and I have been to weddings where we weren't sure if we should each take 1 favor or if 1 was for the both of us. We would just ask the others at the table if they all got one and figured it out from there. I also agree with PP that some people don't even remember to take them. I would save the money and get 1 per couple.
Unless you have a way to specify who gets what, I think some couples will think/expect that they each get a favor, and I'm afraid you'll end up with other guests who don't get one because they've run out.
The only way I think you can get away with one per couple is if you attach the escort cards to them and have both people in the couple on the escort card. You say the label won't have room for their names/table, but can't you attach an additional card to them as the escort card?
Either way, but I would be concerned with how you would indicate that the stopper is for a couple and not an individual if you're not using them as placecards. I think that one per couple is acceptable, but I think people assume one per person unless told otherwise.
I'd do one per person. Couples don't always live together for one so they couldn't necessarily use it together. Plus, there are definitely times when DH and I have two open bottles of wine in the fridge.
I just think it looks a little stingy to give singles their own but couples just get one.
Obviously, it is just my personal opinion, but I'd say 1 per person. It's true: not all guests will end up taking the favors, but having one on each place setting (if that is how you're arranging them) is much easier than having the guests discuss amongst themselves who gets what!
Thank you! 1 per person it is then! :-) using escort cards means that the cost is going to be the same anyway so i will just order 60 of everything.
thanks!!

We're going to use wine bottle stoppers for our wedding favours ($2.88 each on americanbridal.com!! goes perfect with our vineyard theme too and colour!!! so happy!!)
We are having about 60 guests and about that includes about 20 couples...do they take home one bottle stopper each or two? They won't even need two but it's weird to just place one for them..also we're only grouping the guests into certain tables and they will sit where they like in that table so it would be hard to place the favours on the table (unless I put them right in the middle where the centerpieces are)...
Should I just get the exact guest number or be stingey and order only 40...
Thanks for your suggestions!
