And, the suggestions are wonderful.<\/p>\n<h4>Brandi Hamerstone,\u00a0Owner\/Senior Wedding Planner All Events Planned<\/h4>\n<p>In the last few years I have had less and less clients choose to have wedding favors. The biggest \u201chit\u201d for a favor now is, as mentioned above, something edible. A sugar cookie iced with your wedding colors or something that refers to family traditions or even your relationship with your fianc\u00e9e. However, none are necessary and I find it refreshing that people are choosing to save that money, instead of buying things that people toss out when they leave.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7240\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1.png\" alt=\"olive oil favor\" width=\"525\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1.png 525w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1-205x300.png 205w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1-500x730.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1-472x690.png 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1.png\" alt=\"olive oil favor\" width=\"525\" height=\"767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1.png 525w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1-205x300.png 205w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1-500x730.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Screen-Shot-2014-11-06-at-11.01.22-AM-1-472x690.png 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weddingchicks.com\/2014\/01\/20\/boho-garden-wedding\/\/\">Wedding Chicks<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I would avoid doing anything too cheap as to not just come across as having taken the \u201ccheap route\u201d for the favors. I think people would prefer no favor over a cheap and thoughtless favor.\u00a0Another popular option is having donations made in lieu of a favor is another popular way to go. This is something where a card would be placed at each table or each setting notifying the guests that you have made a donation to a charity in their name. This amount can range, but is really any amount you choose and you can either fit the charity to a cause that is near and dear to your heart or something that you know your friends and family support.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day though, it is true, wedding favors are optional so no pressure to have them.<\/p>\n<h4>Donna, Wedding Queen<\/h4>\n<p>My son and his bride gave favors and a donation to charity.

But, favors are gifts to our guests. And, it is viewed as impolite to give a gift meant for a particular person away to someone else because we think it is a valid reason. So, as the Wedding Queen mentioned, if we do this, we also should give the guests something as well. It is much better to skip the favor all together.<\/p>\n<h4>Donna, Wedding Queen<\/h4>\n<p>Right. It\u2019s something like:<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s your birthday and I visit you and say, \u201cHey, I got you a sweater, but there\u2019s a woman I know who is out of work and needs it more than you, so I gave it to her in you name.
