    I think they're nice to have and I would really love to have them at our wedding, but I am struggling with ideas. I want something useful and something people aren't just going to throw out or collect dust.

    I think they're a kind gesture but truthfully feel majority of the favors end up in the trash. That being said, they might be nice to have but definitely not necessary.

    I think favors are unnecessary. I'm already spending my money so that my guests can eat and drink and share my special day with me.

    I won't have favors but I will be setting out paper plates and saran wrap for guests to take home cake at the end of the night.

    Nice to have. My FH really wanted to give something back to the guests besides a thank you card. To kill 2 birds with 1 stone, our thank you will be written on the back of our favor bags.

    It's not necessary but for my wedding they were a "need", before I chose to have a Micro Wedding, ha!

    Nice to have - for us, both being our 2nd marriage, the experiences we had is most favors get left behind and it is kind of a waste of money.

    This is definitely a nice to have. My FH and I attended 6 weddings in one year and I don't think we used or kept any of the favors from the weddings that had them and if they didn't, I'm not sure that I noticed. We will likely have them if they don't cost to much to do.

    Nice to have but not a need. I always end up throwing away favors.

    Nice to have. We are going to have favors, for sure. I enjoy the idea of apple butter since it would fit out autumnal theme.
