    Lotto scratch offa in an envelope with a penny. May also toss around some Hershey kisses or some similar item as part of the centerpiece at the table.

    I’d rather not do favors but my mom isn’t having it so I’m thinking of doing little bags of coffee beans since we both love going out for coffee

    We’re having a smaller wedding so it’s more manageable but we’re doing succulents that I’m buying in bulk and planting them in little 3 in pots with a homemade printed tag that’s says “Let Live Grow”. Couldn’t help it loved a Pinterest pix I saw!

    We are doing mini (1.5 oz) mason jars filled with honey. They will have burlap on the top tied like a jelly jar with a bee charm and a tag that says thank you. It’s actually super cheap if you diy and find some nice organic honey at a farmers market! It turned out to be about $1.10 a person.

    We are doing an intimate dinner so I think people will notice. Depending on your party size you can likely skip it. I had personalized candles with matchsticks or macaroons in mind

    We both like gambling so we did $1 scratchers and got pennies made with our initials with a sticker that says “ wishing you riches from the new mr & mrs”

    We’re doing a 4x6 print out of a picture from our engagement shoot. Something cheap and simple and hopefully not something anyone will throw away lol

    We didn't do wedding favors. They weren't necessary. However, a couple of weeks before the wedding, we decided to add a photobooth. It was a last minute purchase, so we got a good deal from a TapSnap franchise local to our venu. The customized a wedding logo for us that was printed on each photo. Everyone got a printed copy to take home and a digital copy of their photo. After the event, we were sent a link to the complete gallery that we can download and print on our own. The photos became the wedding favor.

    We aren’t doing favors at the wedding itself, but due to it being a destination wedding, we are having welcome bags with goodies. Since it’s going to be in New Orleans, we are having gift certificates to cafe du monde, voodoo chips, beads, water, Advil, granola bars, walking maps and guides, postcards, etc.

    We are doing a dessert table with boxes for people to take whatever they like home. Since our wedding is smaller, we’re doing a 2 tiered cake so we hopefully won’t have a ton left over

    I've had a hard time deciding on a favor too, at first I was going to do succulents that doubled as centerpieces, but a lot of our guests are flying and I thought that would be inconsiderate. Then I wanted to do a herb infused oil, would be cheap (other than the bottles) but maybe a little too time consuming. Also thought about doing little bags of fall-themed candy, but again could be time consuming to put together and potentially wasteful as I'm sure many would be left behind - I'm leading towards no favors now but am nervous that guests (or future mother-in-law) would see that as cheap. It's just more thing to obsess over! lol Smiley xd

    I'm having a beautiful Gold Mirror that's a Photobooth, it will have our names and Date on it and a beautiful backdrop. Most people love taking pictures at weddings so I thought it would the best thing to give our guest!

    Skipped this! Half the time they aren't picked up or if they are they are still left behind. I once had a bride who made etched glass coffee mugs and less then half the guests grabbed one! (CRAZY! Because I would of grabbed one lol).

    In lieu of a cake we are doing a brownie bar so after we "cut the brownie" (lol) we are going to leave out to go bags which I guess could be technically seen as a favor?

    I did bottle opener skeleton keys. The tags on them doubled as an escort card. I already had access to labels so just had to design them in microsoft word.

    They were $20 for 50 keys. So approximately $0.40/pp.

    My fiancé and I are doing coffee beans for favors in little brown paper bags that say “the perfect blend” and our names and wedding date. Pick whatever suits your theme and personality! We’re doing donuts instead of cake and we both are avid coffee drinkers, so it made sense for us. It’s a little out of the box, but super fun as well!
