What does it mean to do party favors?

Party favours at a wedding are a way to say thank you to your guests for sharing your day. They are not a legal requirement or a social obligation, but many couples choose to offer them as a kind gesture. The favour can be something edible, useful, or symbolic. It is often placed at each place setting, or gathered on a table near the exit so guests can pick one up as they leave. Some couples include a note with the favour, such as a small card with their names and the date. Others tie the favour into their theme, like a seashell for a beach wedding or a mini jar of honey for a rustic celebration. The important thing is that the favour reflects you as a couple and feels genuine. You do not need to spend a lot. A simple favour with a personal touch is often more appreciated than something expensive. If you are having a gift list or a charity donation instead, you can skip favours altogether. Many couples now choose to donate to a charity in lieu of favours, and that is perfectly acceptable. Just let your guests know with a small card on the table.
