Any past brides who did not do favors?

Are there any past brides who did not do favors? Was their a negative reaction from guests? I dont know if this idea will go over too well with the in laws, but I am really NOT finding any affordable but Nice and useful favors that I like. I do like wine bottles- but they seem like they are going to cost a lot, and I do like chocolate, but still it can add up with a large wedding which we are having. My idea is to cut costs and not do favors...but I dont know if this is a good or bad idea

I went to a wedding this week and she gave no favors I did not even notice, I don't think you have to give favors JMO

More and more brides are not doing favors. Most people do not even use them. I still do not know either. I like wine, but will look into how costly it will be.

I have to be honest- I DO notice when there are no favors at a wedding. I would find another way to save money.

You don't need to go overboard on favors. How much were you lookng to spend (and how many guests are you planning to have)?

200 people MINIMUM, more likely around 215 with children...

and I dont want to spend a lot-

My sister did not do favors. Instead she put a program type note on each table that said in lieu of favors a donation had been made in loving memory of our father to a foundation that studies that ailment he died from.

I'm torn on this issue. On the one hand, I don't think it's a big deal to not have favors, on the other hand, I think people expect them nowadays. I do think it's a nice way to say thank you to your guests. Why not make CDs that you can burn at home? Or candies in organza bags. There's actually tons of creative thigns you can get. Also, seed packes in the shape of a heart or a butterfly. Tons of unique things that just add a little thank you.

Re: Any past brides who did not do favors?

I actually LOVE the seed packets- have you seen them for cheaper than 4.50????

Jewish weddings, more often than not, do not have favors (some do). I have been to more Jewish weddings than non-Jewish weddings in my lifetime and I certainly do not miss favors nor would I think less of ANYONE who doesn't give me one (regardless of the custom). Any favors I HAVE received from any wedding get shoved in a drawer never to be seen again. I look at them, say 'Oh this is nice' and put them away. I am not doing favors personally, but had, at one point, considered sending people home with bagels, cream cheese and a copy of the Sunday NY Times. Even that is costly.
