Favors - Necessary or Not?

I don't think favors are necessary, I feel like the entire reception is a "thank you" to the guests for attending. I will say that edible favors are the way to go in my opinion should you feel that they're a necessity!

Not necessary. Though some favors can be nice, I typically end up tossing favors I receiving in the trash. Our guests favors were strips from out photo booth. This doubled as our guest book, so no extra expense here.

Totally not necessary. While I love the idea of having monogrammed items like candles, coozies , etc, in reality I will never use them after the wedding and eventually will throw away or donate. Not worth the money for me!

Not worth it or necessary for me

Not necessary. But I do think they add a nice touch. Apparently I'm one of the few people that loves favors from weddings lol.

Not necessary

Such a waste of money!!

Yes and no. We are doing them bc people are traveling. Definitely not a must though.

Most are junky, expensive trinkets that people leave or toss. Unless it's something guests can consume or use frequently, I'd skip it. It's memories they are taking with them, usually on their phones.

If you have it in your budget and want to thank your guest more. If not, then I would pass.

Not necessary. But I think we are going to do them. We budgeted for them already.

While I don't think favors are necessary, we will be having them. We came up with (what I think) is a really cute idea and I think most everyone would end up using it.

Not necessary. But we are going to do them. Just little things. Only because I am a sucker for mementos.

I feel like they go so unappreciated I will be providing out-of-town bags though at the hotel.

Not necessary, but we will still have them. Will probably do a candy table or some type of edible favor.

No. We didn't have them, most get left behind anyways.

I have mixed feelings about favors...silly little trinkets that people will just throw out are a waste of money - but little take home treats are fun for guests to enjoy on their way home...so that's what we're doing!

I don't think they're necessary. I don't like traditional favors like wine corks or keys with our names and wedding date engraved on them or things like that. I just feel like those items eventually get left behind by the guest or it gets thrown away not long after the wedding. We're using our dessert bar to act as our favors. The dessert bar will be opened for the remainder of the night after the buffet closes and there will be togo boxes so guests can take some sweet treats home with them.

It’s not necessary but I think that it’s a way to celebrate your love

I don't think they're necessary but I like when there are favors that are thoughtful/something connected to the couple or theme of the wedding. Generic favors are eh.
