OK, am trying to figure out the whole favor thing, and to work them into our budget. Originally I was going to do a charitable donation in lieu of a favor, but FH is not thrilled w. this idea. SO, do you give favors to each guest, or each couple? I am torn bet. getting nice favors for each couple, or something small for each guest. Our guarentee is for 150pp, so I am assuming we will need 160 favors. Thanks!

Re: Favors-one per person, or one per couple?
Depends what it is!! If you use something like chocolate bars I would say one per person, if you did candles or a bigger item I would say 1 per couple

I think it depends on the favor and what you could afford. We did full size bottles of wine and gave one per couple.

I'm doing frames one per couple as favors.
And my aunt is making fabric roses for each plate with a little thank you note from us.

Definately do favors one per couple. So many weddings I have been to that had too many favors and it goes to waste.

We are doing mini bottles of wine, so it will be one per person. I could not see giving something so small to 2 people.

We are doing 1 per couple way too much $$ if we did one for each person, guess depends on what you get and how much you allot for favors

You have to keep in mind even though favors are small most men do not take favors at weddings. I mean unless you are giving away actual wine or something like that. Keep in mind men will look at favors and say oh thats cute and leave it right there.
I have seen many brides waste money on favors.

We are giving one favor per couple unless they are coming by themselves then they get one also.

We are doing these as one per couple:
and then we are going to do 5 jordan almonds in an organza bag for everyone.
I think it depends what you are doing too, plus how pricey it is. I gave out little trees, and they were cheap enough I was able to do one per person.

Re: Favors-one per person, or one per couple?
well, I was thinking of wine stoppers, but they are too much to do one per person. For the one per person, I was thinking of CD favors, but even those can get pricey, and they are time consuming. How are they handed out if its one per couple? Are they on the table, or handed out at the end?
