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?
My BM just brought up a good idea, that we can do a charitable donation, and give each guest a card telling them about the donation, and give one favor per couple. Or do the candy bowl w. bags for everyone, and give a favor per person. ShelzyP, I like your idea too, that way everyone gets a little something on top of the favor.

Re: Favors-one per person, or one per couple?
I had wanted to do one per person, but i felt that it was a waste adn I felt that that alone was not enough so I decided on the almonds, and I also think they are cute, I am goitn to attach a saying to them too.
we gave candles and I thought it would be better that people could have 2 for their house so we did per person as well (although there were many left overs, but DH's aunt has 6+ in her house...lol)
although if it is something that it would be silly that a couple would have 2 in a house (I once got a water pitcher)...then one per couple

I'm doing CDs and it will be one per couple, but I'll make a few extras.
I think if it is something edible you can do 1 per person, anything else you can get away with 1 per couple.

Re: Favors-one per person, or one per couple?
A lot of good points have been made here, esp. about how men really don't care about favors. I may have to reevaluate.
But before I read this thread - I was giving out 2 favors: bookmarks I'm making myself - 1 for each person but those are so cheap to make.
We're also giving out CDs, 1 per couple or family.
