What is everyone doing for favors? I am so confused. I was going to do a coaster set, but my MIL said 'if i want to be classy I will do a donation' I don't want to do a donation. And, she knows that. Hopefully she will drop it, but I don't want to get on her bad side. Any ideas? I want to do a favor that people will use!

I know a lot of people like edible favors however these arnt an option for me. Traditionally we give out plates and serving ware. Im not fully decided yet but may do oil and vinegar bottle that comes in a holder.

I agree! Fh and I are doing personalized glass coasters too (pics in my album), along with a s'more station with fall inspired flavors like pumpkin spice, classic, and vanilla bean . I found these chinese take out cartons on ebay that they can use to take the s'mores home if they want.
And if you're FMIL is anything like my mom, she's probably referring to what people did when she was getting married. Maybe you can explain to her that people today are getting more creative with favors, and infusing their personalities in them. I once went to a wedding where they gave out bottles of wine as their favors for the adults, and for the kids in attendance, Arnold Palmer drinks in bottles with the bride and grooms monogram on them.

I'm doing donations but coasters are definitely useful. I got coasters at a wedding and it's one of the few things I actually use that I've gotten at a wedding. I've gotten candles before which I thought were great because I always burn candles.

Where are you getting them from? I wanted to do something like this but wasn't even sure where to start looking.

I like the idea of coasters! Definitely something that will people will use afterwards which was an important factor for me in picking my own.
Originally I was going to do an edible favor (cake pops drecorated like brides and grooms) but in the end we went with a vintage looking key bottle opener. We wanted something that people will use and not just throw away.

We are getting a fast food and candy truck with bags for people to take home goodies. We're also having little things for guests to take like photo booth magnet strips and koozies at the bar.

We have a lot of little things for the guests - beer koozies to be given out by the bartenders, Viennese Hour with to go bags for them and photo booth frames but our main favor is a donation is everyone's name to my cousins foundation - Maureen's Hope. We're putting one donation card on each table to display.
