I personally never notice those things at weddings. I pay more attention to the event than what I get out of it. Will it be rude or something if I don't do wedding favors?

I agree that they tend to be a waste because most people don't even care about them. One type of wedding favors I have seen done that was cute is having bubble blowers on the tables. If they're going to be a lot of kids at the reception, they usually enjoy being able to blow bubbles and it looks pretty. My advice would be to do what you want. It's your wedding, so making it the way you like is not rude.

I personally think they are overrated. They are nice to have but at times they could be an extra cost that your guests don't even notice unless they are a little more extravegant like a candle, pictures frames etc. I went to a wedding once where not one favor was taken because they thought they were deocrations.
My advice, if you are going to have them make them stand out so everyone knows they were thought of in a special way. I think just being a guest and having pictures to remember the occasion by are enough for most people. Don't feel obligated to have favors concentrate on the more important things.
God Bless

I always thought "I have to have favors". After spending $100 on favors and 3 hours putting them together... only a few people actually walked away from our wedding with theirs. I ended up with a box full of favors that I gave to a friend how is getting married in April. I did like how they looked on th etable and added to the decorations but if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldnt have done the favors and chosen some other type of tabel decoration to go along with the centerpeices.
Maybe try buying little bells or bubbles that people can either ring (bell) or blow (bubbles) when you and your new husband leave the reception. We had those along with favors and most people took those with them since they used them when we left.

Its not rude, but a wedding favor is a very nice touch. A few wedding favors that a nice and not that expensive are:
1. A Pewter Picture Frame
2. A small bottle of wine
3. A lovely Vase
4. A cake server
But if you decide not to give out favors, it is acceptable. Look up Wedding Etiquette on the internet or buy a book at borders.

something with candy. There are some spectacular candy molds accessible (for chocolate) which you will make so genuinely and it fairly is totally much less high priced to purchase chocolate and cause them to. additionally they have candy molds the place you may make chocolate lollipops or chocolate lined pretzel sticks. when I sit down and anticipate dinner at a marriage i'm generally getting exceedingly hungry. it rather is generally good to contain candy or a small snack because of the fact some travelers have not eaten for the reason that breakfast and could be ravenous! stay faraway from favors like customized candles or in spite of. people basically throw that stuff away. no longer a lot of people i be responsive to could take domicile and definitely shop a customised merchandise that had my photograph or call on it.

Yeah - it is sort of the right thing to do. Especially being thaqt most guests will be bringing gift.
This does not mean it has to be the the traditional wedding favor, in fact my fiance and I donated $100 to breast cancer awareness and got pink bracelets as a favor. We also did the "typical" favor too (a bell that holds the place cards and an ice cream scooper). She wanted the typical favor and then when I brought up the Breast Cancer Braclet in memory of my grandmother and aunt, she wanted to that too!

I've never even been to a wedding with favors. Usually people take an extra napkin with the couple's names on it or an extra tulle bag of birdseed or tiny bottle of bubbles with them (if there are enough). "Getting something" from a wedding is not a big focus with me, either.

No, it wouldn't be rude to miss out the favours. Like you say, who notices anyway. I was at a friends wedding just last week and when the favours came round nobody really bothered. It's a nice touch, but not all that important.

Well we decided not to waste money on trinkets. We are doing bubbles and bells (Used coupons from Michael's) , Little triangular boxes tied with out personalized ribbon with candy (not sure what kind yet), and we are making a donation to the Cancer society in honour of our guests and having little cards at their place setting that states that this was done. (this money will go to good use and many on both sides of the family have been touched by this disease). In all we are spending about $8 a guest, half of which goes to charity. Hope that helps you.

I would not be offended if you invited me and there were no favours, it's your wedding day, it's not necessary to give your guests gifts, they are being fed and watered, and are there to help you celebrate. I'm not doing favours either, after looking into it and thinking we would buy everyone a little bottle of champagne it just added about £1000 to our budget and that's money we can spend elsewhere, like on honeymoon.
