    Wedding guests objected to these “cheap” party favors.

    Most people expect to receive traditional wedding favors such as bottle openers, shot glasses or tasty treats, but newlyweds Caleb and Lexi thanked their wedding guests with unique gifts that many people online slammed as “salty.”

    “Is that a wedding favor or flavor?” one person wrote online.

    Before the couple got married on Jun. 8 in Encinitas, Calif, the blushing bride curated personalized small jars of Mediterranean sea salt for her guests.

    In a 27-second clip uploaded on her TikTok account @lexifranksnappi , Lexi, 24, demonstrates how she assembled the heartfelt DIY trinkets by pouring a cup of salt into the glass bottles and slapping on a label.

    “A little sea salt for all my favorite people,” Lexi captioned the clip, posted on Jun. 18 , with 2 million views.

    While the Orange County hair stylist was elated to share the “cute wedding favor idea” online, many people found it to be a cheap offering.

    “Is there some cultural significance to this? I live in Australia so not sure if I’m missing a tradition from another country?” questioned an Australian.
