Hi ALL,
Our wedding is adding up like most weddings. we ended up putting more money towards an open bar and decor etc.
Do we need to provide guests with wedding favours. at the start we decided we wouldnt but wondering if some guests would be offended? or if they would even notice?

Nope. Most are thrown away if not forgotten

If you do favors, go with an edible favor. We found some pretty little cakes and our guests loved them!

Some people will throw them away no matter what, while others will keep them forever.

Totally unnecessary. We did have them but only because my mom was excited about her ideas for them and she was paying so I went along with it. They were a nice touch but absolutely unnecessary.

We’re not doing them. And I can’t actually think of one wedding that I have ever attended that has done them. Not sure if it’s a regional thing (I live in Australia) or not, but that’s my experience lol. I’d rather spend the money on improving my guests’ experience/comfort.

JessieFay13 : yeh not sure. i am from Australia too.
We tend to do it in my culture (italian) but everybody always says how much they dont really care for them.
I just cant be bothered worrying about another thing to be honest. Rather get a photobooth

“I was so outraged/upset/disappointed that there were no favours. It ruined the whole wedding” said noone ever!

Think of the open bar as their favor. People usually appreciate open bar.

happybridetobee2017 : The bride and groom were both Italian at the last wedding I attended – they didn’t do favours and it didn’t seem as if anyone minded.

I have mentioned it to SO once in passing and he was convinced we needed them or guests will be offended. I’m on the side that its unecessary, but we’ll see what happens.

I’m not giving out wedding favors, I don’t see how they are necessary or that important.
