Something edible or some sort of liquor (wine, beer - my cousin had bottles from their favorite local brewery).

Re: What was your favorite Wedding Favor?

Ha! I thought you asked what was my wedding favor. My bad lol.

My fav. by far is a set of (I think 5)little cups/tiny bowls. DH and I use them ALL THE TIME when cooking and eating. They are great for prep work and side sauces.

something edible

i don't care for trinkets. it actually makes me sad because i know that hosts/newlyweds put thought, effort, and money into them.

for my wedding, we did the candy buffet near the exit. this way people were able to fill a small chinese take-out box of candy as they were heading out. from what i was told, my guests enjoyed it... like others have mentioned, they were able to pick through their goodies on their way home.

Anything edible.

Although I thought the ice cream scoop was pretty useful.

I hate donations in lieu of a favor. Just skip the favor & donate. No need to publicize that you're taking a tax deduction instead of giving favors.

Anything edible! Everything else will just end up in the trash.

We did boxes of jelly beans in our wedding colors, which were different tints of orange. I got a bunch of clear foldable boxes on the internet and lots of jelly beans in flavours like cantaloup, orange sorbet, tangerine, vanilla, banana etc. Filled up the boxes with Jelly beans, tied with an orange ribbon et voila! It was fun!

Our favor was bamboo plants. Everyone loved them and 9 years later, many are still alive!

We did glass coasters which everyone still uses (not personalized) and since we got married 4th of July weekend we did really long like 16" sparklers (3 per guest) tied together with a personalized ribbon and a personalized book of matches that said Met My Match, which was a blast!



My friend did this. We use the coasters every day. They're the photo ones, and I put pics of us from the wedding in there. Super nice and useful!

The best favor we received from a wedding was a bottle opener that looked like a golf ball. The groom is a huge golfer and it was a really nice weight. We still have it and use it, the wedding was over 6 years ago.

edbile or a donation-we did a donation, not to publicize but to HONOR our family who were affected by breast cancer and alzheimers and bring attention to the causes.

Re: What was your favorite Wedding Favor?

We just went to a wedding where they did a donation for breast cancer in lieu of a traditional favor. It came with a small, metal pink ribbon pin. I thought that was really nice. A lot of people were putting them on at the wedding. We did Lindt truffles at our wedding. Easy, inexpensive, and it doesn't sit in someone's draw for all eternity!
