Re: Favors $$$$

Probably after all is said and done (inc wrapping them, etc...) about $5 per favor ... but going to do 1 per couple to cut on costs

Re: Favors $$$$

I'm DIY'ing chocolate bars, so all together, including the box, chocolate, ribbons and everything else i need to make them - It's still costing me less than $1 per favor!

Re: Favors $$$$

My shot glasses (personalized ) were on sale .67cents each... boxes were about .20 cents each.. and the wrapping paper cost me about 10.00 but my MIL paid for that..

All in all after set up cost, production costs & shipping... the favors came to about $2.00 each!

I'm not sure yet. But my Photobooth came to $1500 then the cocoa cones so far were about 20 (I just have the bags, I still have to get the ingredients and make the tags and get ribbon), then however much the roses in the cars will come to with the tags for that. And if I maybe do chocolate menu's. So all in all... my answer is...
TOO MUCH!!!!!

Re: Favors $$$$

I am doing photobooth but I don't count that as a 'favor'. I think of it as something fun at the wedding.

I am having a candy buffet, which will cost around $600. So, probaly about $5/pp

Re: Favors $$$$

We did about $3.50 per favor. It was one favor per couple and it doubled as the placecard.

Re: Favors $$$$

Favors ALONE, I don't wanna spend more than like $300. Not including placecards, etc.

Re: Favors $$$$

We actually decided to put the money somewhere else. We are not having favors.

Re: Favors $$$$

We originally weren't going to do favors...

Then we were going to do maple syrup

Then we were going to do DIY smores bags

Finally we decided on firelilly chocolate truffle cones.

lol...we are very indecisive.

Re: Favors $$$$

mine were lenox ornaments (well duh, you know! ) - they are originally $30 a piece (i think they must have came out the previous year) b/c i found them on clearance for around $5 each - i cant remember if it was 4 and change or 6 and change but either way it was around $5 a piece and then whatever the wrapping paper was...

Re: Favors $$$$

I don't want to spend more than $3-4 MAX on favors. I am having a lot of guests to my wedding. I don't even want to do favors but FH is insisting on it.

Re: Favors $$$$

I spent a little over $500 for 200 favors (the personalized reusable grocery bags) including everything -- personalization, shipping, etc. I don't need 200 favors (at least I don't think I will... that would mean everyone will come and bring friends...) so I might use some of the extra bags for the OOT bags too (I guess some people will get an extra then) or just for fun. I'm very excited about them!

Re: Favors $$$$

I'm doing a photobooth as well, but not counting them as favors. Mine will come to about $1.50 each.

Re: Favors $$$$

All along I didn’t want to spend a lot of money in this area. My centerpiece is also a favor (and this is one for each guest, its edible) plus I got a heart cookie cutter for each couple, grand toal its under $5 (and this also includes my centerpiece)

Re: Favors $$$$

We spent $1.30 for the picnic gift baskets w/ two truffles at 0.75 ea. each favor- $2.80 for 70 guests. The total cost- $196. Don't go all crazy, def get edible items so that your guests can enjoy it for the night and possibly a pin/keepsake tucked into the favor. Don't waste money on frames, candles, etc. most of it unfortunately gets tossed in the trash after the wedding.
