There seems to be definitive pros and cons regarding wedding favors. Some want to dismiss them, others want help finding inexpensive ones, others prefer to look for unique and elaborate ones. Ive seem small picture frames, bells, individual boxes with special candies, luggage tags (which doubled as your escort card - very clever bride Betsy!) wine bottles, wine bottle openers in the shape of a bird - in keeping with a bird theme, beeswax candles tied with a ribbon, beautifully decorated cookies in a small bag. These cookies are usually in keeping with a theme. I've also seen individual cakes with small cake boxes that the guests can take home. I was a guest at an outdoor summer wedding on a beach where we each received a large fan with the program on it. This came in very handy! This past weekend I received a cd with the couples favorite songs, I've been enjoying it all week!
Some couples prefer to make a donation to a charity in lieu of a favor and there will be a note stating this.
My findings have been that for the most part, people prefer a favor that is useful.
Now, who is "pro" the favors and name some you've enjoyed. Who is "con" and tell us why??

I don't know about the rest of you, but who doesn't love free stuff? I went to a wedding recently and for favors they had a table where you could choose from heart themed items- a wine topper, coasters, a bottle opener, or little heartshaped tea spoons. I thought they were all so cute it was hard to decide! I say definitely go for the favors. Besides it is a way of thanking your guests for coming to your event!
Great point!! "Little somethings" mean a lot!
