Best wedding favour you've had!

[gemloving]

Just that - let me know please ✨

Wedding favours are supposed to be 5 almonds or bonbons, they are symbolic and traditional but like everything else (including this thread) it’s the competition isn’t it. The quest to have the most memorable, quirky, thoughtful, sophisticated tat. Even on this thread you have posters writing about why their favours were a cut above.

It has been a laugh out loud thread though, so pretentious.

Was the favour you realising you’re human trash?

Best favours were edible (especially sweets or chocolate), or at a couple of weddings a caricaturist. I don't understand why some PPs hate the idea - it isn't compulsory, and is really fun.

No favours at our wedding, although there was an enormous amount of food and a free bar, so I guess any mumsnetters would have enjoyed that aspect!

@Lostgerbil, I think you win! That's absolutely lovely, such a lovely thought and must have taken you forever.

Bath bombs and scented candles, although lovely - a lot of people are allergic to bath bombs, I like scented candles but my DH has a strong aversion to them so I can't burn them at home. I always feel a bit disappointed when I receive one as a gift as I can't use it! So favours like those I would probably leave behind.

Worst was a wooden heart with my name scratched into it - also worked as a place setting but now it just clutters up my jewellery box.

I think they’re all a bit naff really, although I like the retro value of sugared almonds.

Just remembered two weddings.
Wedding 1 had no favours but did have a free bar, a massive buffet and a hog roast.
Wedding 2 had glasses that were bigger than a shot glass but smaller than a tumbler had the couple’s initials either side of the crossed irons logo for West Ham ⚒filled with haribo and a small tube of bubble mixture for blowing bubbles (do you see what they did there) the buffet was nearly gone by the time the last two tables went up.
So in the spirit of this thread, I’m blaming everything good at wedding 1 and everything bad at wedding 2 on the favours or lack of.

I love it how some posters talk about the favours at their own weddings as being well received and going down a treat. Exactly how would you know, people were probably being polite or so hungry or bored they used them.
They all sound pretty naff and mostly self indulgent apart from the charity donations.
Agree just like party bags.
Just save your money and spend it on things people care about like a donation or enough food your guests aren't hungry.

Haribo and bubbles...
Exactly what you'd expect to find in a 5 year old's party bag 🤦‍♀️
What are these people on?! Bet they'd also tell you it went down a storm with their guests 😂
