Nice to have. I’m just sticking with a candy bar and then having brown paper bags with our theme stamped on them in place of favors. Most favors I’ve seen would just be left or thrown away anyway

Nice to have. I’m making homemade Buckeyes and they will be individually boxed and left at the each guests’ spot at their table.

Nice to have, we won't be having them. Most just get left or thrown away.

Nice to have. We offered them at our wedding but don't think it's a necessity at all!

Nice to have if it's something sustainable and not monogrammed.

Nice to have, but I feel obligated to provide them. While I'm penny pincher in everyday life, the last thing I want is for my guests to think we were cheap on our wedding. Thinking of having little bride and groom bags with chocolates/candy and a tag that says "A Sweet Ending to A New Beginning"

Nice to have. Even though its a less popular trend, bot FH and I come from families that still expect favors so we will have them.

Nice to have - not really necessary in my opinion considering everything else people usually get from a wedding

Nice to have. But you have to think broadly. Will you have a photobooth? That is a favor. Can the centerpiece double as a favor? How about the escort cards? Or the programs? Get creative!

Nice to have not but necessary. This is an old tradition that I feel needs to be done away with. No one cares about your little candles or bags of candy

Nice to have! Part of the favor the guests will use for the “send off”. If some are left behind, 🤷🏼‍♀️. We won’t be doing welcome bags, so this will essentially be welcoming and thanking them for coming.
