I was talking to a friend of mine last week who is getting married in March. She said that she’s not having any wedding favors for her wedding because she is over budget.
I told her (maybe not so nicely) that having no wedding favors is tacky. She thinks it’s better to be a little tacky and give nothing at all, than to be really tacky and give cheap favors.
What do you think?
I believe that wedding guests appreciate the thought of wedding favors, even if they are small. And besides that, you can make your own wedding favors or buy very inexpensive favors.
Here at Truly Wedding Favors, you can get wedding favors under $1. Even if you have 300 guests (and you shouldn’t be having a wedding with 300 guests, if you can’t afford favors) then it would only cost $300 to purchase cute favors for all your guests.
No wedding favors at all? I certainly hope she changes her mind.
