Party Favors

Does anyone really care if they get a favor at a wedding or baby/bridal shower?

I am struggling to come up with an idea for favors for my sister-in-law's baby shower and I'm sure I will go buy something lame to give out because I feel like I have to. 

What is the best favor you have ever gotten?

Re: Party Favors

  • We made sugar cookies that were shaped like a onesie for my sisters baby shower.  We put blue fondant on it that said it's a boy.  I think food favors are good because they get eaten.  I don't usually keep little plastic booties or stuff like that.
  • I agree, edible is best.  I don't usually keep favor type things / keepsakes around. 
  • I like edible favors- cookies or chocolate.

  • Food is always good or you could take the money you would have spent on favors and make a donation to the March of Dimes in the mommy-to-be's name and just put a little card on each table saying that a donation was made rather than having favors.

  • I don't do favors and I don't look for them at functions either.
  • I do like food favors...my shower was chocolate star shaped lollipops...

    but I do have to say I liked my wedding favors- they were little bamboo shoots in terracotta pots (they were the seating cards) I still have them on my window

  • Not a big fan of favors...unless they are edible.  At my baby shower, the favor was a frosted sugar cookie in the shape of a duckie.  Wegmans will make any shape cookie and individually wrap it, for a reasonable cost.

  • I am always interested to see what people do for favors, so I do look for them.  I don't expect them, but when they are around I look.  I like the little details people do.

    I personally like anything edible or candles.

    The lamest favor, I know I said I like candles, but the candle I received from a baby shower was so gaudy looking that I never used it.  It was a blue bear, sitting on a blue letter block....all wax.
