I have about 80 guests coming to my wedding. The favors I would like to give are scented soap petal roses. (these basically look identical to a real single rose but the petals can be detached petal by petal and used to fill a bathtub with for a lovely scented bath or to wash your hands, that will include a personalized thank you card with our names and wedding date) I have enclosed a picture.
I have two questions regarding these.
1. Do I give EACH and EVERY single guess their own favor or is it ONE per couple. For example, would my grandparents get one or two? Do special guests like my parents get one or two?
2. I have about 11 "Children" coming ranging in ages from newborn to teenagers. What do I give them? I think these favors are appropriate for the teens, but what would the newborn get? or the children who are ages 1 to 8 get?
I would like to give them little goody bags with crayons or candy etc... but my mother is saying that I should give them the same favors as everyone else for them to have as a keepsake. I'm not so sure.
3 of these children are part of the bridal party as well. My flower girl is 7. My ring bearers are 7 and 5 who are also my sons.....do they get the same favors or something extra special? They will have special gifts already for participating, but are these favors appropriate?
2. Your favors aren't appropriate for the little ones and probably wouldn't be appreciated. The teens - if they are irls - might like the petals though. Use your descretion.
Go with your idea for the goody bags, providing age appropriate gifts inside. It's a nice idea to provide items to keep the kids occuoied and quiet. Things klike activity books or hand held games. I would give the same favors for the same age groups. Nothing different for the kids in the bridal party since you are already getting them their own bridal party gifts. Kids will always compare so it's best not to vary the favors. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
Typically, one favor is given for each guest. Although, favors are optional it is a nice gesture as a thank you for your guests. Your ideas are interesting. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
