For some reason we love favors, although they are not required and really an added expense that couples can't afford! And sometimes guests just choose to "forget" to take home! This brings up the question why do we feel the need to provide them then? Well partly because they're a great way to do something "nice" for those guests that spent time and money to attend your wedding.
To assist the couples who "have" to give favors at your wedding one thing I would suggest is put yourself in your guests shoes when deciding on what little trinket to give. In reality we all have enough candy dishes or picture frames, and who needs trinkets with another couples' name on them?
Favors more often than not take alot of your money, time and creativity. And few of these guests appreciate all that you put into them, so to not seem hurtful and rude some people deliberately leave them behind, hoping you’ll think they simply forgot, and hoping you can use them better than they can. So as a result you are left with the very gifts you spent all your time creating!
Here are some helpful and inexpensive ideas for those of you who feel you "must" give favors.
*Book of matches with writing on it like The Perfect Match and your names and wedding date below.
*Tulle wrapped candy all you need is tulle, ribbon, and candy keep in mind the weather or environment when choosing the candy itself but it is always a hit for grown ups and children alike!
*Tree or flower seeds with a small clay or plastic pot (wrap the plastic pot to disguise it)
*for children give small boxes of crayons and color book not only will they love it, it also serves a dual purpose to give them something to do during the "boring" parts of the reception
*there are many ways to create inexpensive and thoughtful favors that won't be left behind!
