How It Works

Wedding favors typically cost $2-$12 per piece. Edible favors are the most popular (and least likely to be left behind). Budget 1-3% of your total wedding budget for favors.

The Formula

Total Cost = Order Quantity x Cost Per Favor + Packaging + Labels
Order Quantity = Units Needed x 1.10 (10% buffer)

Variables

  • Units — Per person or per couple depending on policy
  • Buffer — 10% extra to cover breakage and last-minute guests

Example

150 guests, edible favors at $3 each (per person): 165 ordered + packaging $124 + labels $83 = $703 total.

Tips

  • Edible favors (cookies, candy) are the most appreciated and least wasted
  • Order 10% extra for breakage, display, and last-minute guests
  • One per couple saves 40-45% compared to one per person
  • DIY favors save money but factor in your time
  • Skip favors entirely — many guests never take them
