What was the favor for your wedding?? Did guests seem to like it?
Ours was a fridge magnet with our picture, wedding date, and it said 'thank you' somewhere on there. We still have friends/family telling us how much they love it and that they think of us when they see it on their fridge.
Re: S/O Wedding favors
We had a destination wedding so I didn't do favors! Too much of a hassle to travel with them. But everyone was happy to travel to paradise
We provided food, refreshments, and dessert for our guests. If they were upset or thought we were rude for not sending some trinket home with them as well I don't really give a fuck. The tribute to my DH's mom meant alot to my FIL and DH's grandmother and it wa the least we could do for them.
We did donations to the American Cancer Society. I made up cards explaining it with a cancer awareness ribbon pin attached that I made - these were put at each plate.
We also did a candy buffet.

Ours were similar. We filled the plain champagne flutes with white and red M&Ms (our wedding colors). They were arranged in a circle around a simple candleholder on the tables so they were kind of our centerpieces, too.
Maybe we could have done something better, but it fit the criteria of inexpensive and something I wouldn't mind taking home if I was a guest.

Not sure where to go from here.
It was soap.
Moral of the story: always be the second person to taste a wedding favor :-)
We also had a photo booth. But that didn't really count because we owned the company and everyone was expecting it.
We did "save the date" photo magnets that were surprisingly a big hit. (I don't do magnets so I probably would've tossed it) Fast fwd 5 yrs and its kinda nice to visit ppl and see our magnets on their fridge useful in some sense.
We had a November wedding and did caramel apples too! Delicious!
Sounds cute on paper, but in reality, those little things never sprouted, not any of mine, none of my family's, no ones. It was the biggest waste of $300+ ever.
Moral of the story, always get a sample before you order a whole lot.
I did not, but my mom, aunts and sisters did. they made them 2 nights before the wedding. My aunt owns a restaurant so they stored them in a large refrigerator at her restaurant.
