Hi Knoties,
I just wanted to  say "hello" to everyone.  I don't normally start posts but I am the boards a lot.  The OC board has been a bit quite lately.  I know there are newly engaged girls on here because it was just Valentine's Day. 

I have been working on finding favors for my wedding this week---I am thinking I might do candy or cookies (at least I know they will get eaten instead of some favors that get thrown out).  Any other suggestions????

    We are using the Tootsie Pops provided by our caterer as our escort card holder.  We also have a number of children coming, so it also will give them something to do while the ceremony takes place.  Other than that, we aren't doing favors.  I've never kept a favor and adding one more thing to our budget didn't work well for us.  If we had an unlimited source of funding, I would have done individually boxed cupcakes.

    I like the M&M's too.

    We are thinking about giving lottery tickets to each guest. Since most favors usually end up left on the table.  I doubt a lottery ticket will go unscratched.

    Hello, first time poster to these boards. I live in Orange County, but am getting married in Houston in October.

    The FI is from SF, so I was going to give out Ghirardelli chocolate squares most likely.

    we had chocolates/candy in favor boxes for our main reception and coasters for our smaller bay area banquet dinner. both worked out great, but it seemed as if guests liked the coasters a bit more. :)

    I know that sweets always get eaten!  We are doing shot glasses with our names on them.  However, this was mostly decided because we have a family friend who can get them very cheap.  Its the only favor ive recieved that I actually kept. I say go withi the cheapest favors and put money saved towards the bar... guests will appreciate this just as muchSmile
