Would you go over budget.......

Original post by Lsorrent

For a favor you absolutely love??????? It's the ONLY cheeseboard and slicer set that I've found that's IN STOCK and NOT DISCONTINUED!!!!! But it'll be around $200 more than I wanted to spend on favors.

(I can't even take credit for this.....Kris found it for me)

$200 over including wrapping, tags?
and how much labor is involved lol

idk....tough one...i would try not to... but if this is the one u absolutely love then yes



Nope, I'd have to buy wrapping paper and do all the wrapping myself.

i wouldn't go over my budget for favors (other things maybe, but not favors) ... but that's just me - if you absolutely can't live without it, then go for it

i think it's a very cute idea, btw



ITA. Though that is pretty cool. How big is it though?

IMHO, for me personally, I wouldn't go overbudget on my favors only because I think alot of people tend not to keep favors sometimes. But if you really love it more then any other favor, and you can swing the extra $200, then go for it!


I agree

i would

so factoring in labor + wrap paper + tags + (Assuming they come boxed) = its more like $9.50-$10 per favor? and per couple or per guest?

If it's in your budget and you really love it, I'd go for it.

I would say Yes for YOU bc I know what a hard time you have had trying to find favors.

However, I personally wouldn't. Sorry... I could use that $200 somewhere else more important to ME....

am I making sense?

Yes, I think its a great favor and I would definitely use it!!!

They would be per couple. DEFINITELY not per guest, lol.

The only reason I'm even considering this, is because it's actually useful and practical and because I've been going crazy in the favor department.

yes i would and i have.

Re: Would you go over budget.......

oh boy this would make me go crazy too... $200 is not a lot in the big pic...but $200 can be used somewhere else

i say keep it in your top choice and try to find something similar a bit closer to yoru budget...

if you cant go for it!

for something like favors i probably wouldnt. its just a favor and imo its not that important.
if you can swing it then go for it but if you are looking at it like 'whats another $200?' then just remember you may have done that along the road already and might do it again before your wedding and all those 'whats another $xxx' will add up
