The question of whether or not you have to give a wedding favor to your guests at your reception is one of the main questions you have to consider early on in your wedding planning and budget for accordingly.
There is no easy way to answer this question except to say that it is YOUR budget and YOUR day. However, while it is true that you technically are not required to give your guests any type of wedding favor at your wedding, it is also true that your guests will likely be expecting a favor as a small token of thanks and a memento that in some cases they will value long after the day itself.
Wedding favors are becoming more and more common, so while you are not obligated to give out wedding favors, it may leave a bad impression if you don’t, and some of your guests may even be offended if you decide not to do so.
This article will take a look at the question of whether or not you have to give wedding favors to your guests, and will provide some tips for giving out wedding favors on even the tightest budget.
As we discussed in the second paragraph, wedding favors are in no way obligatory, but that does not mean that guests still do not expect to receive a wedding favor when they attend a wedding. There are a couple of reasons for this.
One of the most obvious reasons why guests expect to receive a wedding favor is that it is such a common practice now, that the majority of the weddings they have attended recently have included a wedding favor or favors at the table, some of them very lavish.
The other reason why guests expect to receive a wedding favor lies with the whole purpose of the wedding favor. The wedding favor is designed to help the couple express their gratitude to each guest for attending the wedding and reception.
Although the couple will still send out thank you cards to all of the guests after the wedding, giving a small wedding favor is another way the couple can thank their guests for their support immediately, without waiting until after the honeymoon and catching up on all the daily chores that stop them from writing the thank you letters as promptly as they might like.
