i am just curious. my centerpieces are candles and about 3 couples at each table will be able to take one of the hurricane candles home....
my budget is veryyyyyyy tight and well..... just wondering... is anyone not doing any favors whatsoever???

Just so you know you can have very nice favors for very little. Even if you go to michaels you can get theses really cute empty containers for very little and fill them up with candies. M&M's, Hersy Kisses, mints, etc... Also I talked to one bride who bought a huge box of Hersy bars at sams club. Then she printed out personal wrappers. It didn't cost much at all and everyone loved them.

But I don't think your guest will be offended that you don't give out favors. Weddings are very expensive. I'm sure your guest won't even notice. To be honesty I find most people find that many favors are just another thing to dust. A woman I use to work with told me she got that same favore at three different weddings. It was a heart shape cork screw and she doesn't even drink. (mind you this was yrs ago.)

My friend had lotto tickets and the reason she ended up doing it was because her mom went to a wedding where someone won on a 'win for life' ticket. They get $1000/ week for life. It's a cheap and fun favor to give!
