Wedding Favors: Should You or Shouldn’t You?

As I was watching the Today Show this morning, a topic about weddings favors caught my attention. They were saying that every bride gives a favor to thank their guest for attending their wedding, whether it is a simple candle or something similar. But, do we truly need to give favors at a wedding? Should we maybe spend those extra dollars for favors in some other aspect of our weddings? Isn’t being present to see two people start their lives together special enough? I would really love to hear what everyone thinks about this topic.
