All this talk of favors

What are you girls spending for each favor. My mom found these frames for $10 and I thought she was nuts. No way can I spend that much on a favor.

$10 is really expensive, i think ... remember that most people don't really want or need the favors and it just goes to the garbage in the end.

We're adopting an animal for each table ($25 per table through the World Wildlife Fund) ... so it comes to about $2-3 per person (but it's tax deductable haha)

Frosted glass photo frames are about $1 each. But I'm also getting a photobooth and DIYing a candy buffet.

Re: All this talk of favors

about $1 for each favor. I did book marks because I'm a book nerd. and I also got bottle stops that match the bookmarks. I got two different favors so that each couple didnt get two of the same things.

Re: All this talk of favors

The wedding favor I'm considering is $10, it would be per couple. It is totally useable, I think in that range it is not the things people just throw out, which is important to me. With the bulk order, I think I can get a 20 % off, so it'll be about $4 per person, which I think I justified to myself. Gotta go with what you are comfy with!

Re: All this talk of favors

Personalized mint tins were about $1.25 with the mints, slipper baskets broke down to $1.50 per pair. That's all we did! At the after party we had a candy buffet with bags to take stuff home.

ETA: We had 150 guests. I did 96 pairs of slippers because I got 2 cases. There were some left because there were less than 96 ladies lol.

Please tell me this totally usable favor! I'm having a very hard time with choosing something.

Re: All this talk of favors

We got the foldable reusable grocery bags and it was $500 for 200 of them (we only had 110 guests at the wedding, so I used them for OOT bags too). So I guess it was a little over $2 per favor.

But some stores like Target give you $0.05 back every time you use your own bag, so they're slowly starting to pay for themselves!!!!! (j/k -- really, i'm kidding... but I love them)

I truly believe you should do favors that you love, not because you have to. Something with meaning to you if you can.

As I've shown y'all before, I gave Rob Thomas one of our wedding bags and it was such a proud moment. I won't post the pic again, but you know I want to...

Re: All this talk of favors

we are having a photobooth....got everyone photo albums with a frame cover (on sale from $9 to a little under $3)....also doing a pashmina basket (still trying to find a good price)...and the escort cards are with jordan almonds and will come out to about ($1.50 each)....so i guess in total (UGHHH NEVER ADDED THIS UP BEFORE ) its about $15 if you include the photobooth toooo

I love this idea!!!

I would do that if we weren't already donating to 2 organizations.
