The point of a favor is generally two-fold: 1) to serve as a token of thanks for coming, and 2) to serve as a token of nostalgia for the event. Guests feel cared for and celebrated by the thoughtfulness of the favors they receive.

You can, however, extend hospitality and thanks to your guests in other ways. At one of Chris’ best friend’s weddings, nobody received favors, but it didn’t even dawn on me that something was “missing” until a few days after the wedding. The bride and groom had spent so much energy on making each guest feel so special and thanked that the purpose of a favor was already met. We didn’t need a present to secure that thought.

There is a growing number of businesses and organizations that are changing the world by their missions of compassion and their methods of integrity. All you need to do is find ones that offer products or services that you need for your wedding.
