I'm doing small truffle boxes at each place setting, but really it's only to help dress of my tables. I wouldn't waste my time and money on them otherwise!
Nobody will notice or care if you don't have favors, and if they do, it's probably because they're recent brides/brides-to-be themselves!
The entire time that we were planning our wedding, I kept telling my husband that if we didn't do something edible, I didn't want to do any favors at all because let's not lie about it, nobody wants a wine glass/shot glass/candle/ornament/etc/etc with our initials on it...lol!! :-) We ended up going with chocolate covered pretzels, but honestly, I would never think anything of it if there were no favors. It's not like I deserve a present for coming to your wedding... :-)
I wouldn't think anything of it.
@MissBMarie1428: damn we were gonna do shot glasses too! lol!
Honestly, thinking of the last 5 weddings that I've been to, I can only remember one of the favors. And the only reason I remember those is because they gave glass coasters that broke in my suitcase on the way home.
We are not doing any. I don't see the point? We are going to send out pictures in our thank you cards afterwards.
I would think - finally someone who didn't waste money on something that I will absolutely never use or accidentally leave at venue anyhow. Unless it is something edible or something really neat (which probably means it costed a small fortune) it's most likely getting thrown out anyhow. I really like the donations in the guests honor, I've heard some people get all pissy about that but seriously, yeah maybe it's only a few bucks a person but if that's a 200 person wedding, why not donate $400-$800 to a good cause than spend it on crap no one wants!
I would definitely not care whatsoever!! I think it would be nice to see them slowly fade away and no longer be a tradition, it's a waste of money most of the time!
We are thinking of not doing any either.
It just seems like an added expense.
Most people throw them away anyway. The only good favor in my opinion is food and it isn't needed anyway.
I recently went to a wedding and didn't recieve a favor. I didn't notice until like a month later that I hadn't received anything.
I'd rather have nothing than have the couple spend a lot of money on things that everyone is gonna throw away. So pretty much anything edible is great, anything else is at risk, lol. I kind of like mints or mint chocolates for after dinner. That being said, one favor I did keep, and it's been over 10 years now, was a really nice Christmas ornament. It was totally my style and fit perfectly with how I like to decorate my tree.
I'd be fine without them. I'm not planning to do them for my wedding. Put the money to something else!
i would notice, but I wouldn't be offended if there weren't any.
I probably wouldn't even notice unless somebody asked me later what I was given.
What about donating the money you would have spent to a charity in the names of all of your guests? You can just print a card that says where you will be donating. Something like "In lieu of favors we are making a donation to x"x charity" in the names of all of our guests."
That way you haven't wasted money on trinkets most guests will throw away, and helping others less fortunate than yourselves.
I probably wouldn't notice, really. Sometimes you go to weddings and there are random things on the table and you're like... are we supposed to take these? Favors are sort of meh imo.
I don't mind if there are no favors. Unless it's edible, I usually just throw it away.
You can make a donation to charity and have a sign that says in leu of favors we donated... I think that would be appreciated.
I might notice that they're not there. But I really wouldn't give a crap.
We're not having favours, 99% sure. (But, in the interest of full disclosure, we are having OOT bags, and two extra functions, so I figured people didn't need a trinket or a chocolate bar to thank them for their presence!)
I would notice, only becuase I am planning a wedding for my self.
If there were no favors I would probably think the couple wanted to spend the extra money on better food or more desserts or a better DJ? All of those things are perfectaly acceptable favor replacements for me :)
I think people understand
We didnt have favours and honestly, not many people do here in Australia anymore. Sometimes the name tags are a type of favour, like on a shell or in a small frame (like really small) or something similar so that is cute and multi-functional!
@Chombie: I know! Things just make more sense coming from Ryan Gosling!
@katiee0707: We are having a photobooth and the pics will be the favors. But that's it!
i would notice but i wouldn't be offended. i do enjoy getting edible favours. i usually eat them on the way home or next morning.
A wedding is not a children's birthday party - no favors required! I didn't even know people did favors for weddings until I started planning one.
I'd be completely fine with it. I hate having clutter in my home.
The irony of this however is that I know when my partner and I get married a lot of our guests are very old-fashioned and EXPECT something small'n'tacky to take home. The funny thing about this is they certainly don't want anything useful, memorable or sweet to take home, no, they really do want something SMALL'N'TACKY to take home and judge.
Sigh.
It would be so nice to elope and avoid the judgemental rellies.
I think it's an extra little something that's nice but it's not really necessary. Plus if you have a bit of a budget strain, that's one less thing you have to worry about. If anything, the name tags on the table are their favour - I always take those from weddings because I'll be like oh, that's from her wedding and it was so beautiful and since it has my name on it, it feels more personal.
I wouldn't notice. A lot of the common favors are ones that I either forget to take home or don't care for. Edible favors are the only really popular ones I've seen, but they're not a necessity!
i probably wouldnt notice. i lile favors, but only if they are smething useful or edible (so many people have chocolates in truffle boxes and the chocolate is cheap and inedible!)

We are thinking of maybe no doing favors at the wedding? A lot of times no one wants them, so i was wondering, would you miss them?
