Filed under: personalized wedding favor
im not getting married but ive noticed a lot of couples personalize their favors. is it okay not to personalize them or does it even matter?
you do not have to personalise them at all. I didn’t with my wedding. We just used choc coated raspberries for my gift, nicely boxed. By the end of the night they were being thrown across the room by a bunch of rowdy guests anyway so don’t spend too much time on them when you do get married anyway cos alot of ppl don’t even notice the effort.
no , if your on a budget like me im just doing a little thing of candy . however i have noticed at weddings if you dont put the favor at the place setting then everyone forgets them

Personally I don’t think it matters. With my family (which is huge, no joke) personalizing favors would take forever and although it is a nice touch it is not necessary.

The monogrammed coozies & toasting flutes are going in the dumpster no matter what. In fact, couples would do the planet a favor by not monogramming them - maybe somebody would take them from the Goodwill and use them if they didn’t have initials on them.

Small apartment. Room for somebody else’s mementoes? I dont think so.
I didn’t even have favors at my wedding. There are no actual "rules" about favors.
It really depends on what it is. If it’s edible, I’d say that you don’t expect people to save them anyway, so what’s the point of personalization? If it’s something that you expect them to keep, you might want to consider personalization…otherwise they’ll just think of it as a trinket and it will lose it’s intrigue.
For example, my cousin had chocolates at his wedding. No personalization needed, since we weren’t going to keep them too long anyway.
On the other hand, friends of mine gave away wine glasses filled with chocolate. The wine glasses were personalized with their names. In that case, it was good that they had personalized them. A wine glass that doesn’t match our other wine glasses wouldn’t have meant much to us after a week and we probably would have thrown it out — but since it was personalized, it served as a nice reminder of the day and we really like it a lot.

They don’t have to be personalized, and you don’t even have to have them! You can waste a lot of $ on something that people will just throw away. However, if it’s something they can eat (candy or cookies to take home with them), that’s different. Just make the favor something useful to the majority of the guests.

I don’t think favors are important but I do chair covers rental and have noticed that i usually saw fewer than 10 favors were left there by guests at the end of the receptions when I took down the chair covers. So most of the guests actually took them home.
I don’t think you need to personalize them. It depends on your time and budget.
