Wedding favours???

I suppose it depends on how many people you will have at your wedding (i.e. how much cost)

depending on what you decide to do they can be as cheap (or expensive) as you like!

If you are on a tight buget i think favours are one thing that can easily be left out.

My brother in law isnt having favours...i agree with cola they arent a necessity

I agree with cola....people dont expect them and of course you have to factor in the cost of the actual pressie, then the box/wrapping/ribbon etc that goes with it as well

if you wanted something on the tables in place of a favour you could do a little handwritten note for everyone with a little personalised message (if you have the time and energy!!!) that would be free and guests would love it!

i have also seen in place of favours a wine glass trinket on everyone's glass (you can get these cheaply on ebay), feathers attached to a napkin with a ribbon, or a couple of loose sweets or chocolates on everyone's plate xx

We're not having favours - I think they're a silly American tradition and a waste of money.

I would say that its something that you can leave out if you are watching your costs. Better that than having somethig really cheap that ends up being left on the table x

We considered not having them, but it was my OH that said that he thinks its nice to get some wee thing and would be a tad disappointed if there was nothing! you can get wee favour bags on ebay and other places online for not a lot and, you can buy sweets in any of the supermarkets of their "value" range! cou could have change from £20!

You don't HAVE to have them but they are a nice touch to thank guests for coming. But doubt anyone would miss them and cull you because of it

Im with GB on this one, i think they are a waste of money. They arent an english tradition, as far as im aware. And as for giving something back to the guests for coming to the wedding, we are givng them a 3 course meal and some booze! My friend did favours and they were all left behind.

We got married last november (08, i mean), and we did favours just for the women, we gave them brest cancer pins, which cost like £1 each. depends how many people you're having I guess.

I've seen this too - it must be so frustrating for the bride/groom but people just don't really tend to realise what they are....

Personally I don't see the point. As the others have said I've been to a few weddings where they just get left behind which is just a waste. I figure you're saying thank you for coming by providing food, music and drinks so thats thank you enough!

Yup - we're not doing them. It does just seem a waste of money to me, and OH really wasn't keen.

We will be having favours, i think it's quite a nice touch. We bought theses little boxes off ebay 100 for £18 and i'm going to fill them with some kind of chocolates( maybe 2 or 3 fererro rocher or something?)
