Wedding Favours

I didn’t do any wedding favours lol. And everyone’s opinion is different . But we provided a lot for our guests already . We just did a dessert table with a candy bar . And people can take that home. It gives more of a choice aswell .

We DIYed ours and it was a ton of work and probably cost the same as getting them professionally done. As for your question on whether or not you should have favours at all? I vote YES since it's a really nice way of thanking everyone for being there for your special day and for their gift to you.

Im ordering favors off aliexpress.com for under $1 pp

We're DIYing ours. I'm going to make jam and then have a jar decorating party we're having a barn wedding so I thought it would fit.

I wanted to make sure our guests left with something worth while so we ordered maple syrup. 250 ml bottles for each and every guest ($6 each). I supported a farm and thought it was something people could and would use. $900 I didn’t need to spend but did anyway! It was a must have for me. As a guest I don’t care if I do or do not get something as a favour but as a host I love giving.

I am DIY'ing my favours.

We are making paper coffee mugs and putting shortbread cookies inside of them (all wrapped up obviously) for 64 might have spent 40$ on supplies. I've been to so many wedding where the guests leave the favours behind so we really wanted to opt for something small and that would at least be recyclable.

If doing wedding favours isn't your thing or in the budget, you can also do a 'in lieu of favours' card and donate to a charity of choice.

We opted out of favours because most people are too drunk to remember to take them home. We ended up putting extra money into a dessert table instead and including our cake was just over $600 total for 100 people.

We're doing boxes of candy for ours! I believe ours cost around $2 per person as well: I think anything from $1-$5 per person is reasonable. If you were having a smaller guest list, you could do a pricier favour, but definitely not neccessary.

I'm doing candy table. I'm not sure how much it'll cost in the end but I love how they look and if no one takes their favour candy for us. I will use our favourite candies as well in case we have a lot left over 😉 I think your bags of candy will be perfect.

We did his and hers chocolates in little boxes that my aunt made. We did lindor chocolates (I got 160 for $50 bucks) and then M&M's (Cost me $40, we got 2 boxes of 48 mini packs from the states). So it was a little under $100 for 70 favours, plus extras!

We are having blankets! "To have and to hold, in case you get cold"

We got ours from Ikea for $2.49/each (they were on sale, originally $2.99/each)

Of course ours works well as we are having a fall wedding and would want blankets anyway so we are killing 2 birds with 1 stone by doing this as our favours.

Rough price for favours are around the $2 mark so the "his & hers" bags with candies seems about right

We're putting our cupcakes in individual boxes and using those as favours. Guests can eat their cupcakes at the wedding or take it home for later.

Love all the edible favors!

Not sure how much ours will cost in the end, but we are going to do pumpkin pie tarts. Since we are getting married on Thanksgiving Sunday! Need to have pumpkin pie somehow haha.

I believe mine were around $2 in the end. I bought all the mason jars, string, labels and bucket of honey. I packaged it all myself. If I didn't, it would have been $3-$4 a bottle.

Thanks! I've been trying to throw in personal touches here and there and thought who doesn't love candy?!

I loved the idea of honey or even maple syrup! I just couldn't make the numbers work unfortunately. My future mother-in-law makes jam and jellies constantly so I considered asking her if she's willing to do that, but we're already having our ceremony in her backyard so I didn't want to have her worrying about that, too.

I really like that idea! It's inexpensive (as far as favours go) and it's more personable.

I have a long time friend who is a bee keeper and she is doing hunny jars for us, but even with a discount, it is still much more than your idea. Still personable and I really like to help out the local businesses, especially if they are run by people I know and love.
