Those are pretty and they'd be useful too. We spent about $2.00 per person on our favors.
That seems fun. I wonder if you could attach a little tag to each pen with a monogram/names and your date?
those are nice! I would like a nice fancy pen!
We got personalized Hershey bars and was about $3 per person (ordered from the US to Canada so an exchange rate)
We are giving packets of wildflower seeds at about 50 cents per person.
We made personalized luggage tags and probably spent $4/person.
I like your pen idea - its also nice because if someone forgets theirs, its a practical enough favor so that other people will snatch it up! They are so sparkly and cute - reminds me of Cinderella :)
I LOVE THESE PENS!! I think they're a great idea. Who doesn't love a great pen!? (Said the girl whose always been addicted to the school supply ailes!!!)
We filled baby-shower takeout boxes with Hershey's kisses. We're stacking them in the center of the table, on a cake plate and then using them as centerpieces.
16 packages of favor boxes : $16 at The Dollar Tree
Hershey's kisses: $13
Labels for the bottom of the kisses: $7
Labels to close the boxes $8
For a grand total of $44, which means we spent 35 cents on each favor.
Oops! Apparently I'm not good at navigating the internet! I meant to add that those pens are beautiful! I would love to get those as a favor and they would be put to a very good use!
We did a donation in lieu of favors. I can't recall even taking favors home from most weddings so I opted against them altogether.
I think if you're planning on providing pens anyways, why not make it your favor. I would place a pen at each placesetting with the madlibs and print out a little card that makes it clear that the pens are theirs' to keep. Otherwise you may end up with 100 pens yourself!!
$1 each is pretty cheap for favors. I don't think you need to spend any more than that.
I am spending about $4 on each favor, but may have it come out to more if I decide to also do candy as well. I've decided on getting each person personalized chopsticks with our names on them and oour wedding date. I think it's great since we're Chinese and almost 90% of the people attending will be able to use them.
I was able to spend a bit more since my wedding is smaller than most and I'm only inviting about 60 guests total.
I think our favors will be around $1 per person - my mom is making pumpkin butter and we are packaging them in short glass jars with a ribbon and label on them. The jars were $60 each (I think, we bought in bulk), ribbon is cheap, and my mom bought the ingredients (which are pretty basic). My aunt is making labels, so we'll purchase the labels.
Interesting question. We are having favors that consist of the guest's picture incorporated into a souvenir of some kind--magnet, bookmark, etc. The cost of the various things to put them into was $70.52 for 80-100 people. That does not count the cost of the printer, paper, and ink. However, those items will also be used to construct our guestbook, so it is hard to divide them out. Here is a complete description of our photo favor/guestbook concept.
The other item that I don't know if you would consider favors is a basket of dancing shoes. It is a mixture of flip flops ($1 apiece) and Chinese cotton Mary Janes ($1.50 apiece). However, these are things we will provide for guests who need them at the wedding, although the guests will then be welcome to take them home afterward.

Pretty! I'd totally use it!
Mine came up to about $1.89 per person. $1.59 originally plus tax/ship brings it to almost $2. But we also did one per invites because nobody needs 4 measuring spoon sets.
I just realized that I wrote our jars were $60 each. They were .60 each. Oops! That would be quite a lovely jar for $60 per jar....
@Erindesmar: Haha! I figured that must have been a typo!
Here's a new question about the pens - would our male guests like them?
I think those pens would be a great wedding favor since it is incorporating your wedding theme and is unusal. Also the price is spot on to what you should spending. For our wedding favors we are doing personalized shot glasses (FI and I have huge collection) and they will be filled with different color candy based on the colors in our wedding. They will be a cellophane bag with a colored ribbon. We spent about $2 per favor. Buying large quantities helps you save a lot!

i would love to get this as a gift! i think $1 is a reasonable amount. i havent figured out what we are doing, yet i hope to personalize our gift.
None! We're not having any. (That's the plan, anyways.) We thought about it...and thought about it...but we were trying to work with a favour budget of $200 for 80 people, and it just wasn't working. So we gave up. I didn't want to spend more than that on some M&Ms or personalized soda bottles, so we're just going to give everyone a heartfelt thanks and maybe provide take-home boxes for extra cupcakes.
Okay, so my student had a fantasy dream wedding at the Montage in Laguna Beach California with about 375 people. She gave everyone snuggies as a favor. I think that they're called snuggies. It's that blanket that you put your head through it and there are no arms. They had really funny commercials. Her colors were blue and coral I think and she gave blue snuggies.
Amazing. They are like $20 each. So cool.
That is not in my budget. I am giving one picture frame per couple so I bought 111 picture frames.
They were $.99 each.
To wrap:
The tissue was $.30 each.
The ribbonwas $.67 each.
The flower on top was $.25 each.
So it ended up being about $2.25 per favor. But doing a picture frame per couple as opposed to per person really cut down my costs.
I think $1 is great to spend on a favor. The pens are really unique. I would love it. I think many women will love that pen. If people know they get to keep them, they'll probably just grab them, it will fall to the bottom of their purses, one day when looking for a pen they will dig around and find your pen and smile and remember the wonderful time they had at your wedding.
:)
I LOVE those pens! Do you have a link where you found them for a dollar? I covered 2 pens in crytals to leave for people to sign the guest book,and one disappeared pretty quickly! Guess somebody liked it enough to walk off with it!
Well we went a little overboard on favors......we have 5 and I don't even know what we spent. We also have a candy buffet.
1. Personalized Bottle Waters - Given out at our outdoor wedding
2. Personalized Heart tins filled with Personalized m&ms
3. Mints in an a apple red and white tulle pouch with personalized tags
4. Personalized Bubbles
I think the pens are beautiful and I would love to get one as a favor.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I'm thinking of doing pens as favors at our wedding. The reason? We are going to have "mad libs" on the tables for our guests to do. We need to have writing utensils for them anyway, so why not give them something they can keep?
I found these pens and I love them. Our wedding will have a lot of gold and silver in it, so I think they will go. They are about $1 each. Is this too much? How much are you spending?
Would you like to receive something like this?
