Inspiration needed for wedding favors!

FelicityChaplin, 1 January, 2010 at 20:13 Posted on Planning 0 4

My fiance and I have decided kinda last minute to get married. We have a really tight budget and therefore aren't having a proper reception or honeymoon abroad. Everyone is pretty much paying for their own food and drinks, and for that I want to gift thoughtful Favors to say thank you. For the ladies I was thinking of little handmade soaps, bath fizzers, bath pearls etc, but for the guys I am stuck! Can someone help?! I really am working on a low budget though, so the ideas will have to be kinda cheap. Thanks. Smiley smile

    Well are you dead set on having favours at all? There's nothing wrong with not having any, especially if the money is better spent elsewhere?

    Well not dead set, but I do feel a little bit out of order that I can't afford to pay for all the food, drinks and hire a venue/DJ etc.

    Just wanted to give a little something back as a thank you.

    Why not put the money behind the bar instead, or give everyone a token or something to allow them one free drink instead? It'd probably work out the same price as favours once you have factored in the boxes for them etc.

    If I were a guest and paying for my own meal then I would prefer that to something a lot of people might just leave behind. I can see why you want them but people obviously understand the situation you are in (or else they wouldn't have agreed to pay for their own meal) so I don't think anything is needed.

    I was stuck on what to get the men as favours for my wedding and when i mentioned it to my mum she said you dont need to do them. If you think about it men arent as sentimental as us women so keep sakes arent really for them.

    If you do really want to get something then ebay is a great place for favours

    Thanks everyone for the help.

    I think what I'll do then is pay the first round at the pub, and just give out favors to the ladies.
    There's only going to be about 20 of them, and I already found some lovey green & gold Organza bags on eBay which are 99p for 25!
    Won't cost a lot for some little soaps and chocolates! Sorted. Smiley smile
