Hi,

I was just wandering what you were all doing for wedding favours?

Any ideas of where to get boxes/pouches which could be filled with sweets?

Is there any shops in Rawalpindi or services which provides this?

Any advice would be appreciated.. I was talking to a cousin they said they once went to a wedding where the favours were a velvet box with sweets in would you guys have any ideas where they would be from?

Re: Wedding Favours

rather than spending money on favours, i am instead going to donate to my favorite charity and have little cards written up by me saying that in lieu of favors, I as the bride has instead chosen to donate to a charity.

I luv this idea more than anything....

Thats a really good idea PunjabiRose, but i honestly think the guests won't be too happy...

Re: Wedding Favours

PunjabiRose, i think your comment is abit stuck up! Putting a card in, saying that u gave the money (for wedding favours) in charity, will just look as tho ur trying to prove a point to people and it really wont come across charitable at all, it will just come across as you being a show-off instead. Also, i think the way you've replied to Ismat123 is rude too, its good you want to be charitable but maybe other people want to give things, and personally i will give something too as i'd like to, but ur comment just looks like ur trying to look down at Ismat123. The forum is designed help other people who are getting married not to intimidate and look down on people.. Its not something you would someone to do to you, so dont think its nice you doing it to others..

Stayyabali, very true, i agree with u, but dont u think if u went to a wedding and the bride gave u that, u wud just think she's a bit off a show off, not charitable... its like giving $10,000 charity and then telling your all the people at mosque at jumah prayer u gave $10,000 charity.. Its just a bit show off-ey

My friend did that. It was a nice gesture, and no one missed the favors.

PunjabiRose- this is a great idea!! I saw this done at a shaadi also and the mehmaan thought it was a nice thing to do. :)

Re: Wedding Favours

Punjabi Rose... great idea! I've seen this done at weddings before and it's a very nice gesture. Ppl really appreciate it, and since most favours aren't useful anyway, no one misses them. I went to a wedding once where instead of gifts, the couple requested everyone to make a donation to a charity of the couple's choice. I thought it was such an amazing gesture!

Also, the original poster did ask what everyone was doing for wedding favours. PR suggested a great idea!

Hi-

I am going to be honest and sorry if I offend you all..

I agree with Bilal- The idea of giving your guests a card which tells them hey guys instead of giving your wedding favours I gave money to charity!!
What on earth are they supposed to do with this card.. AND are u not wasting money in making this card?

Its beyond showing off..

Weddings are expensive affairs and lots of money is spent on dinners, venues, food, clothes the list goes on
AND WEDDING FAVOURS is the area you decide to be charitible on?!

If u want to be charitble you should ask the guests to make a donation to charity instead of giving you money!

In my family we just give an X amount in sadqah.. before and during the wedding..

I honestly cant get over the fact that you guys think giving your guests a card telling them that you gave money to charity is ok!
Your better off not giving the card either!
