Favors: One per person or one per couple?

I would have been pissed. especially at that price!

Oh believe me, I was. And, one of these people still has them on a tray, all lined up in her house. Everytime I see them, I feel like picking up the tray and saying 'I believe these belong to me.' But, I don't want to start problems.

And, for DH's surprise party, I am picking out 1 woman from each table to take home a centerpiece. I'm going to give each of the 'head women' a card that says she can take it home. And, none of the 'thieves' will be getting ANYTHING from me...

We're doing a donation and the card is displayed in a frame, so one per couple or single person. We're also doing two chocolates in a box and everyone is getting one each.

We wanted to do a donation but my mother was being a pain about it. I think a donation is a better 'favor' IMO and if I had to do it over I would do a donation.

Let's put things in perspective...

Donate to a cancer society, for example, or give people chocolate (like I did) at the wedding which they will eat and forget about...

If any of my guests got offended because they didn't walk away with a truffle or usless dust collector I'd think again about the kind of person they were.

Btw... Im not saying that giving favors is a bad idea and I mean no disrespect here. Just defending the donation concept.

That's great but that's not really the question here.

we are doing one per person, so that is how i voted, but we are doing that because of what our favor is.

we are doing irish coffee mugs, so you can't give 1 per couple.

With the Irish coffee mugs are cappuccino and biscotti, so they can eat and drink ours.

hmmm, good question. We're doing shotglasses, so i think we'll do one per person.

no it wasnt the question. I answered the question already in an above post. I was responding to what someone else had said earlier. Perhaps I should have quoted the response I was responding to.

I have never heard 1 per person...I have only seen 1 per couple...for the singles 1 per 'single'

then again,,I love our favors and they are different and will be a huge hit...so I am sure couples who are not married would of loved to get one as well...
