If you want to spend money on favors, you can never go wrong with edible ones or a photo booth.
The rest will probably be left behind or tossed once your guests get home. Also, I have seen those guestbooks where you are supposed to write some kind of advice or whatnot. . . and I never do >< I usually just sign my name and then move on into cocktail hour.
i'm always that weirdo that writes something about having a lot of fun in the bedroom. i'm not very sappy lol...one of my best friends had a dictionary as a guest book and asked her guests to highlight words that reminded the guest of the couple. i highlighted the word "vagina" and wrote a note that said "because you'll be using it a lot" - pretty sure i ruined that souvenir for her
It sounds like a lovely idea... If done for Christmas or Birthday present to a specific person. To me... It sounds like it would take a ton of time and a ton of money. I personally would take it to be nice, but it would end up in the trash. Save your self both and a headache and just don't do it. And to save yourself even more money and time, just don't favors at all.
Why ask for advice & oppose everything that doesn't encourage your opinion?
I'd trash it.
1) your wedding is 1 day
2) I wouldn't want my home filled with souvenirs & paraphernalia of someone's wedding (seeing that most guests might keep save-the-dates or the wedding invitation)
it's just one more thing that'll create clutter/waste space that won't have an actual place setting. Yes, your guests may love reading, but I'm sure they don't keep every newspaper or magazine that they've read; & honestly, who wants to keep a "favor" of love quotes etc? that's what google is for.
memories last a lifetime; i highly doubt that anyone forgets weddings that they've attended.
nice idea, but I, personally, would skip it & go with yummy goodness as favors. congrats & good luck with the rest of your planning
You can't get mad at the advice that was given at your request. Take the advice or don't but either way get over yourself. That book will get trashed or forgotten about. End of story.
