NO FAVORS?

I, personally, would not be offended. As a matter of fact, I don`t even remember a majority of the wedding favors I`ve received; however, because of that reason I wanted to give out favors that people wouldn`t forget for our wedding. So we gave out CD`s. We bought CD`s from Sams Club $24 for a 50 pack and we burned some really good songs (i.e. Barry White, Al Green, Edwain McCain etc.) They turned out to be a huge hit!!! I made the CD covers myself with card stock paper. I think the total cost for everything was $50. That`s not bad compared to the hundreds of dollars others spend. Just don`t waste your money on something that others will forget about. The men who will be at the wedding won`t even notice...it`s the women you have to worry about. If they aren`t snob-like then don`t worry about favors. Good luck !!!

I am personally opting not to have wedding favors. I mean your guest either take them home to collect dust or throw them away/lose them etc.... How many times have you been to a friends house and see a display of wedding favors?? LOL Most of your guests probably won`t even notice. ;) Good Luck on the big day!

Ithink, favors are nice to have , but if not it probably won`t even be noticed. I just got some red, white mints. Lace put 5 or 6 in it and put my color ribbions.
With they sayin simply me to be together. Just something..but yet something at there place sittin.ps
I`m needing a song for bridesmaids walk any suggestion?

I am so glad someone else is having this deliema. My family and I have decided that we are NOT oging to have favors. We decided that hte money can e better put to use somewhere else. I think gtht many favirs are too expensive and they wound up thrown away or int he "junk drawer". Unless you have the money to do something really nice (my parents went to a wedding where their favor was a formal picture of them and it was sent with the thank you in a sterling silver picture frame), don`t do it and put it twoards something else, like uograding the bar package, orhaving open bar. Maybe you cold use the money for a sit down rather than a buffet dinner. I am not sure what your budget allows, but you will save oney/. What I am doing instead of favors is I am making really nice welcome baskets for all my out of town guests (I guess this is very common and is expected), but instead of doind something basic I am taking the money saved from favors and putting it towards the welcome baskets. Hope this helps and good luck

If you are going to save money, save on the big ticket items (e.g., wedding gowns, location, catering, etc.) that will reflect the most bang for your buck. How much money do really think you will save by not buying wedding favors? This is the classic case of being "PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH". Don`t be CHEAP - make or buy some nice favors that will really show how appreciative you are to your guests.

One more thing if you are out of ideas - stop "pounding" GOOGLE. There are other search engines beside GOOGLE - like YAHOO, MSN, etc. For example, use the YAHOO directory to search for wedding favors.

Good luck!

Your wedding program can be the favor, a memento for guests to take home with them, if they want a souvenir from your wedding.
