RD vs Favors?

OK

We always said we would do a donation favor....but as we discuss the final budget (we are literally $500 under right now!) we have a thought.

We had decided that ONLY people in the wedding would be invited to the RD. The ushers , the readers, and our immediate family.

We were talking about inviting the grandparents and our other aunts and uncles, and paying for them with the favor fund.

Would people even notice if we didn't do favors?

i think that is wonderful!! DO IT!!!

i would rather have my family around for that special night, then some favor that is not going to be taken. or thrown away when they get home.

I have a handful of favors out of all the weddins we have been to (15!) most did donations, or edibles. But that being said its more justifiable to have your family around, ESPECIALLY granparents, etc. because its not just about the rehearsal its about that special sharing with everyone how they have been there to support you and your FH and just the love that goes on that night is amazing and you will want your family there

i agree with the girls

i personally hate the idea of favors, it's such a waste!

hence y im trying to talk myself into those napkin holders lol

You guys are right.

We might end up still doing the donation if we come in under budget.

I honestly think noone will even notice...and if they do, who cares?
