Wedding favours

It's generally done but most people don't make a big thing of them - usually a chocolate on the plate or a mini bottle of booze, some people have things like a sweet station in lieu of favours. Anything a bit cheap or monogrammed with the date tends to get left behind, so unless you really go to town with something lovely, something consumable is the way to go

Saying that, no one misses them if you don't bother with favours!

View quoted message Thank you, I’m getting married in Dec and was thinking about maybe a Christmas tree decoration or something like that, but also don’t want to waste my money if they are not really done anymore

Aww that's a cute idea! I'd just go for something classic and not monogrammed - people won't hang your name or date on their tree but probably would hang a pretty bauble or something and it would still remind them of your wedding

View quoted message Yes that was what I was thinking, thank you

We weren’t keen on favours as lots of people say they are a waste of money. In the end we went for chocolates with guests names on them which double up as their names on the table

View quoted message They are lovely and a good idea too

It’s definitely something you can skip if you choose. No-one would notice. I’ve only done them because I work for a chocolate company and got a discount

We aren't bothering with favours.

We did mini packs of Love Hearts which you can get personalised with the date and your names from the company that makes them. It’s just a sticker you put on the outside of the packet. We put them in mini organza bags from Amazon and added a couple of jelly babies as my husband used to bring me jelly babies when we first dated so that was personal to us.

Hi, can I ask where you ordered these from please?

We made a charity donation instead and put little cards on the tables to tell people what we’d done. If anyone felt they’d missed out on favours, they didn’t tell us but a couple of people did tell us they loved that we donated instead.

View quoted message What a lovely idea

Sweet cart for us. the cart is provided by the venue so we just have to buy the sweets for it. we may do a donation though.

our coordinator warned us off spending silly money on favours as shes lost count how many times over her years as coordinator that they have been left behind, as lovely as they were.

We've personally decided against wedding Favours, and instead will donate the allocated favours money to plant trees. X

She has done me matching stickers, menus, reserved seat signs and chocolates! I love it that everything matches 😊
