Kansas City theme favor?

LaurenMarie1234

Hi ladies -

I'm a Detroit native, marrying a Kansas City boy in Michigan this June. Since the wedding is in MI, most of the items in our out of town bags are going to be MI themed. To make sure to have some type of KC feel to our wedding, I'm trying to find a favor that's Kansas City related.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

A little bottle of BBQ sauce, sunflower seeds (those would be more KS though), or you could ask your FI if there's a food or candy that he traditionally got in KC that you could include.

I love the mini BBQ sauce idea - thanks!

Does anyone know where I'd be able to get small containers of sbbq sauce? We order our bbq in Chicago and ship it from places like Jack Stack and the KC BBQ Store (to get Cowtown Sauce). Both places only have normal sized bottles online...

I would love to find a place that does smaller sized containers, any ideas?

Or, if I need to buy bigger jugs of sauce and just pour it into smaller bottles, my next question is - does that cause any concerns with refridgeration? I'm not sure my family wants 180 bottles of bbq sauce in their fridge pre-wedding!

Thanks for all the help! Does anyone know of a place online where I can buy mini bottles of Gates or another KC bbq sauce? I swear I found a link a while ago and I can't seem to get back to it. It's driving me crazy!!

Of course right after I post that, I found the website again. Posting it here for any other brides looking for something similar:

We're giving away Kansas City themed favors at our wedding. We're also going with Gates bbq sauce, but when you really get into ordering it, there are 2 sample sizes. I'm planning on contacting Gates directly because we need more than 100 bottles and we've decided on the larger of the 2 sample sizes, which aren't sold online or at Rally House/Kansas Sampler. We're also giving away snow globes with our photo of us in front of Union Station on one side and a vintage KC photo on the other. Our last favors are goose feather shuttlecocks. If you can't tell, we both really love KC.

Starbucks has adorable coffee mugs with the Kansas City skyline. They're less than $10 in stores, but the prices online (Amazon, eBay, etc.) look pretty high. Woof.
