Hello,
I am planning a shower for my best friend for about 80 people. I am on a tight budget and I am wondering if I have to give a favor to everyone. Most of the showers I went to gave away a lot of prizes for games but I wasn't planning on doing that either because of the budget constraint. Is it rude not to send everyone home with something? If I should give everyone a favor or prize do you have any recommendations on something easy and cheap that I could give away? Even $1 a piece takes a large chunk out of my budget. She can't invite less people because she has a very large family and it would be hurtful not to invite everyone. Thanks for your advice!
Re: Favor Question
I have never understood favors either. But since it seems to be best and what the norm is maybe you could make cookies and even like dip them in chocolate...blue or pink chocolate maybe...and wrap them in saran wrap with a ribbon bow.
Seems like a good option to me...cheap and useful. I know I always think the favors are cute but unless it's food related it always seems to go in the back of a drawer or cupboard and then gets tossed 1+ year later....
Or potentially you could involve the guest of honor and see what she thinks about favors. I would certainly offer to help make cookies or possibly even pay for the favors if I wanted them and didn't want to put the effort into them...
