Favors

I've never really understood wedding favors. However, now that I'm planning my wedding, I wonder if people will ask "Where are the favors?" I don't think I've ever thought about it at weddings I have attend. I don't think I ever took any of the favors or threw them away shortly after I left the reception. With that said, Elvis and I have decided that in lieu of wedding favors, we have decided to donate to the Lowell Animal Shelter. We are planning on having little bags of treats for dogs and cats for guests to take home to their animals. We're hoping it will be creative and different. I hope people take a moment to think about all the animals without homes when they decide to add an additional to their family.
