I wanted to get an idea of how most people are doing this.
As you know the tables are already crowded, so I don't want to leave the favors on the tables, but I find it hard to have someone give out favors at the end of the night.
So how are do you ensure everyone gets a gift?

I think we are putting the favors on everyone's plates...Of course we will have some extras just in case.

We are putting ours on a table opposite our cake. When people say goodbye we will give them the favors. I feel that the tables are crowded enough. Most women make sure to get their favors, or at least in my family they do.

Probably on the table for us because we have coasters (small in size). If you have something big, like wine bottles, you can ask your hall to set up a separate table near the exit to put all the favors on, and appoint someone to ensure that as people leave, they are given a favor.

I love how favors look on the tables... unless it's a large bottle of wine or something. My cousin did wine and had the staff at their hall give the wine bottles out to each couple about an hour before the wedding ended.

At most of the weddings I've been to, the favors were placed above the plates. There usually was one per couple.

Re: How are you giving your guests favors?
our families have the bride and groom hand them out to everyone as they say goodbye for the evening. that's also usually when they hand the gift envelope to the couple. fair exchange i think!

We had two favors - bottles of wine that we put on a separate table that guests grabbed on their own on their way out, and wine stoppers that we put on the tables (every other setting.)

My favors will be my placecards. I'm attaching their placecard to the favor - This way I know everyone got their favors.

Ours are going to go on the tables, this way we don't have to worry about people remembering to take one or having anyone to hand them out.

Re: How are you giving your guests favors?
My favors are way to big to be put on each plate.....besides all the weddings I have been to the favors were displayed on their own table and given at the end when people say good bye and give you the card........that's how it is done in my family & FH's......I am giving one per couple..

We're doing a separate favor table, and each favor will have the guests' names on it, so that way everyone gets one.

We are doing wine bottles but I'm afraid if we put them on a separate table, each person will take one. We are doing one per couple.

They were on the table. There was a box and chocolate wrapped in tulle at each place setting

Re: How are you giving your guests favors?
I'm torn because at my first wedding I gave out expensive Mikasa salt & pepper shakers. I left them on the tables, during the evening someone must have opened it, saw what it was and took more. Some people told me they never got a favor. Now, this time I wanted to hand them out. They are in gift bags so they are too big for the table.

Re: How are you giving your guests favors?
I'm probably go to leave them at each table. But, I really HATE when other people take favors off other tables. That makes me sooo MAD!!!!!
I'm going to ask my hall if something can be done, without me having to babysit.
