Dear Marvin- Favors Alternatives

Dear Marvin,
One part of the wedding I'm having a little trouble with is the favors. I think that most of the time they are such a waste of money and people rarely remember them! I mean do people really need one more tealight? Are there any alternatives to the standard favors?

All Favored Out

Dear All Favored Out,
Here is what I think. Favors aren't necessary, it's a gesture. If you don't want to give one our you don't have to! You get to make the decision. One alternative you might consider is giving to charity. You can take the money you would have spent on favors and donate it to charity. You can place a card or bookmark at each placesetting and let them know that you have donated to charity in the name of your guests. Hope that helps!

Marvin
