favors- 1per guest- 1 per couple- 1per family

Hi.

I have been to four weddings in the last few months, and now that it is time for mine, I am thinking about how to distribute favors.

I have noticed that the most common distribution is 1 per couple. what is everyone doing?

I was thinking of giving mini champagne bottles and giving one per person.

What are your thought?

If it's something along the lines of giftwear, like a frame or bottle stop, or even a champagne bottle, I'd do one per couple.

When it comes to candy and the like, I'd do one per person.

Can I tell you, do one per couple to avoid wasting money. I have been to several weddings and so many people do not even take the favors, especially men.

I did one per couple but I gave out 2 favors so I dont know where that counts.

I gave out brass NYC ornaments and a wedding CD. I bought extra ornaments and ended up with those but I dont have a single extra CD!!

We did one per couple but we put extras out on the tables just in case.

Edited to say: I kind of think it also depends on what you are giving out. We gave out candles.

I think since you are giving out champagne, one per couple is fine.

Even though we are doing mugs, which could be one per person, we are doing with per couple (couldn't possibly afford twice as much for favors)...

It's usually one per couple or actually one per invite. You don't want to break the bank w/ favors. Do what you can aford to do.
