Favours are just a little gift you have at the table for each guest. If you've never been to a wedding that's had them then save yourself LOTS of money and don't have them :-) They are a bloody pain in the butt!
All of my dreams come true the day I married you, Mr Walker

it's like giving the guests a little gift - some people go a bit OTT and spoil their guests with personalised obscure things like bottle stoppers or bonsai trees (no offense to anyone using these as favours- personally i'd love to receive either!) but they don't necessarily have to be fancy or expensive - my favourite favours are when you get a little bag/ box of sugared almonds or sweets or chocolate because they are good to munch on in between courses and during the speeches! (its all about food!) xxx
I would say favours are the added extra that costs a lot of money for what they are. You think a few pence per box is nothing but by the time you add on a meter of ribbon and some sweets they soon add up! I think if I were to do them again I would go for home made biscuits and ice the guest's names on them to double up as place cards lol.

Jo - i approve - place name biscuits! wow - but as i said before - it's all about food for me! lol x

Favors are...... something I haven't seen at any wedding I've been to, and something I won't be bothering with either :-)

CommentAuthorMel D
I object to favors ... why do we need to spend all that money on the wedding ... AND then give all the people we've invited a present!?! However I have been overruled - my sister is making boxes and they are also going to be place names, so we are having them, but I've made it clear that it's under duress!

you can do them cheaply. my favours have cost £38 for everything. this works out at 54pence per person!

a little gift you put at each persons place setting. They can be something simple like sugared almonds in some tulle, a rose in a napkin or something a bit more pricy like an alcoholic favour with choccy or soaps, candles etc... the list goes on.
