"I don't think so! You could do maybe a party bag style thing with some wedding cake in and a thank you for coming card? Rather than favours!"
Facebook User - Anna B. says
"Nope, no 'need' to do anything at all! As long as it's a good party, people won't care, most leave favours behind anyway, so it's money in the bin-spend it in something better "

"People go to weddings to celebrate your special day not to get presents from you. X"

"I went to a wedding party of a lady who eloped so she just had an evening party. They didn't do favours and they weren't missed. One lovely thing she did do was a welcome drink for everyone, champagne for ladies and beer for men. Then later the staff came round with more drinks. Max 2-3 per person but it was a lovely touch as wasn't expecting it at an evening party"

"Get them all a fridge magnet!! We did our wedding thank-yous on postcards from where we had been after. If that helps."
Facebook User - Danni C. says
"I'd maybe just do a welcome drink for everyone so your favour could just be a glass of bubbly or something x"
We are planning on making a donation to a charity, a lot do cute little badges to give out x

"What about a sweet cart... so everyone can make their own."

"I wouldn't bother with favours it's an unnecessary expense"
I didn't just a nice buffet and plenty drinks and fun
Get loads of the cheap abroad bracelets and some of those brown tags with the location and date you got married so it's kind of like they have a little piece of the ceremony with them :) or collect some beach sand and get some "fairy dust" bottles and fill them, again tag with the location and date for a nice little trinket x
We didnt do favours and they werebt missed. And to be hinst im glad we didnt due to the number of non-replies to invites and no shows we had.
