It probably averaged out to about $2-4 as we did a candy buffet.
Where's the $1-$2 range? lol.
Ours were $1.63. We did those heart-shaped teaspoons but people actually liked 'em, despite the hive's thumbs down on them.
Hm, trying to think of how much we definitley are spending per item, but we're doing honey favors & are spending about $300.00 for 100 honey favors.
In lieu of favors, we're donating to the American Cancer Society in honor of my Dad who passed away from cancer when I was a toddler. We're not sure how much we'll be donating yet but it will be at least $200 and we've invited 100 so about $2 a person I guess.
I'm not sure yet, but I really want personalized m & m's with our faces on them.... :-)
I think I bought too many though. If I can sell some of the extra, then it'll be a great deal!
I hope to only spend between $2-4. I haven't bought them yet, but I will start looking soon.
About $0.75 a person.
FI and I went to Ohio State, but now live in California. My mom is making chocolate buckeyes (the Ohio State mascot is the Buckeye), and we are giving everyone a pair of buckeyes from a pair of Buckeyes.
I bought white truffle boxes, ribbon, and Ohio State stickers. That was about $45. The rest of the cost is my estimation for the chocolates, butter and peanut butter.
We did cards for our favors. Our families love them and use them often. I think it's a worthwhile investment!
About 2.50 per favor. I wouldn't go to a wedding without a gift, and I wouldn't invite people to a party without giving them a favor for coming. In our generation I think that people understand if you don't have favors. My grandmother came home from a wedding last year that didn't have favors and she didn't really get it, she almost thought it was rude. It's just one of those etiquette things for me, but I really don't think it's about how much they cost. You could do home-made cookies or candies on a very low budget. It's just the thought that counts, a little way of saying thank-you for making my day a little more special by being here!
I found cute boxes 6/$1 at the dollar tree. I bought ribbon's off of ebay for about $5. They are the diy bows that you pull and a bow forms. I am filling the boxes with on sale chocolates. The purple dove hearts, purple hershey kisses. I can fit about 5 kisses in each box. The key is to stuff some colored tissue paper in the box first for filling. The tissue paper I got was 40 sheets for $1 also at the dollar tree. The total comes to about a dollar per favor and looks really pretty with the colored bow around the box.
We have decided to do a donation.. probably to Charity Water
$20 donation gives a person in Africa clean drinking water for 20 years.
I'm planning to make chocolate covered pretzel rods. I'm hoping to make about 200 for $30ish.
$0. No one missed them and I disagree that you need to give guests a gift for coming to your wedding. I know it's a traditional thing but frankly the open bar, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, espresso station and late-night snack station was gift enough IMO.
We bought Christmas ornaments from Pottery Barn as favors, which were a little pricey, but we also only had 30 guests, so the total cost wasn't bad - about $200.
:-/ ... our favors are $5.00 each. After reading all of the other posts I feel like we are over paying per person now. We are doing a candy buffet and our venue charges $4.00 per person and then it will cost an extra $1.00 for the box and ribbon. I’m not even adding in the extra $100.00 for the jars to put the candy in. Wow, officially bumbed about our favors.
We spent in the $1-$2 range for damask votive candles. We customized them by adding a DIY thank you tag.
I bought the packaging and am giving cookies as favors. I personally love edible favors.

I am just curious of how much the majority is spending on favors...
We really want to do personalized decks of cards (monogram and wedding date)
We love games so this really suits us.
