Ours were less than a dollar, they were the Hershey kiss roses. We really splurged on the food and liquor so there wasn't a whole lot left in the budget for favors, but the Hershey kiss roses looked elegant and were tasty, too. I would have loved to spend more, but we had to make some cutbacks somewhere.

I'm not voting because I'm not positive what we are doing or how much it is going to cost. We are thinking of getting our names on M&M's in red and doing little favor bags. You can buy these on-line.

We're making ours and hopefully they will come in under $1 per favor. I'm really not sure though...

I believe ours came in just under $3-$4 dollars a piece but I'm not certain because I never broke the cost down.

We wanted to go under $1 but once we got the first shipment of personalized M&M's we realized we needed a lot more. I think we ended up spending well over $4 a piece for them.

Mine were $2 exactly per favor. I made a $2 donoation for each guests to Habitat for Humanity.

I am going to mix my personalized ones with regular ones so that I don't have to spend that much on them.

That is exactly what we did! We only have minimal personalized ones. It was still expensive. My mom could tell you exactly how much....

My glasses were 3.45 each. Personalized, nice glass champagne glasses, so worth the cost. And, since i got them wholesale, a lot cheaper than most sites were talking. The cheapest I saw them anywhere else was $8.95 each.

Joe and I are in the $2-$3 area-I think- I can't remember the exact price. We've decided on live evergreen trees as favors, however, each couple will receive a tree, not each person. That way, we're able to do a beautiful favor that fits into our theme perfectly. If the favor had been anything other than a tree, each person would have received their own favor. We just fell in love with the evergreen tree.

We want to spend a dollar or less. I think that's doable because we are doing candy.

I looked it up already, but I don't remember. We are also giving a very minimal amount to each guest. We have so many guests that we can't really afford to give out more than a little handful to each.

We have these little bags. I don't know what they are called, but we bought them at Hobby Lobby. They are shear looking and they are circles. You have to bring them up and tie them shut with a ribbon. It is hard to explain. I think we will only have like 10 M&M's in each one.

I bet ours held more than 100 M&M's per container. We had to keep ordering more M&M's, because we didn't have enough.

We bought some M&M's at the store to count exactly how many were going to fit so we would know. My mom is kind of anal when it comes to knowing exactly how much of what to order. If it were up to me I would have to no clue how many went in each one. Good thing one of us is organized.

We kept it under a dollar. We did CD favors and kept an eye out for sales on the things we needed.
