Wedding Favours

We went traditional with our wedding favours: good old fashioned sugared almonds. Didn't cost much, and they kept people's mouths shut during the speeches so I didn't get heckled.

:p
 
Perhaps you could tailor the donation to the person? Personally, a donation to Cancer Research is great, but more personal to me would be British Heart Foundation because of family members.
 
We made little boxes which doubled up as name cards which guests could put the cupcake favours into.

FMC and myself will be giving to charity rather than giving wedding favours/gifts, with a little charity card on each table signifying this.

If you google there are various charities that will provide favour notes for you also.
 
No need for these crazy things IMO. Why are they called favours? I bet no-one even knows why they do this anymore, they just see other people doing it so they copy them. People don't need to be thanked with a little chocolate for coming to a wedding - they are about to eat loads of free food and drink free alcohol.

We are arranging ours for this summer and there will definitely be no favours!
 
We used Balinese folklore characters from one of the local interpretations of the Hindi story.
Heh, used in Ireland to give a hint of Bali where our ceremony was.
In Bali at the meal we have nice choclates amd Guinness and Bailey's cheesecake style biscuits to give a hint of Ireland to teh folks attending that meal.

Probably another American thing that has crept into our way of life to make couples spend more money.

This is something I assumed as well. I first heard about them a couple of years ago, it seems totally stupid to me. We certainly never had such tosh at our wedding and I don't remember any wedding that I've been to more than five years ago where such things happend.

You don't remember sugar almonds? A staple of any 80s/90s wedding I went too!
