1. Edible favors are always one per person. Non-edibles are one per couple.
2. Wedding favors are given to each person who is in attendance.
3. one per person. if you cannot afford it, then you can have them on the table with the centerpiece, and play pass the spoon. the music starts, and you pass the spoon around the table, and when the music stops, the person with the spoon wins the candy.
4. I'd give ANY favor per person those boxes are cute!
5. Give them as one per guest. With our wedding we gave bottles of muscat - one per couple or per guest if they didn't bring a partner.
6. Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Yes, usually this is one per guest. It looks nice to set one at everyone's spot.
7. They are coming in packs of 200... if you did one per family, you might have a few left over (ok , more than a few). In my experience... favors are one per person. Now, if you do a special gift (my cousin did framed pictures of the happy couple - 5x10 i think)... that'd i'd do one per person. But that tiny box of candy.... whathca gonna do - split 4 kisses amoungst the group?
8. If it's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, then it's one to a guest. Bottles of wine are one to a family. Centerpieces go to the lucky one at the table. Edibles that are larger than a breadbox are considered centerpieces and are also one to a table (went to a wedding once that had solid chocolate sculptures on each table, there was a game to figure out who took them home... some tables broke them up in order to share).
9. per person
10. I have only seen favors given one per person; not necessarily per family.
11. Per person for the edibles.
12. It has to be one per person! Since its nothing to big and its only chocoalte, plus everyone would want to have their own...no one wants to share candy ...come on ...lol = ) EVERY wedding i have been to, the favors have always been per person....and you dont have the worry about them if it is one per person ...for example the weddings i have been to the favors where just places at the tables in front of the dishes or something like that and a accounment was made that everyone got a favor and you would take them home with you ...or you could places them on a pretty decorated table by the exit and as people leave they can take one .... Make sure you personalize them with you and your hubby's name and wedding date... Good luck and congrats! =0)
13. One per person, especially with chocolates inside them, no one wants to share chocolate!!
14. One per person, you leave one at each place setting. There was only once when we were given a favor 'per family' - and it was because it was a beautiful sculpture of a man and woman entwined and kissing.
