Favors

PIP your favors!

Maybe this can be a sticky!  How did you waste your money at your wedding?

I had Adirondack chairs with the guest's names on them and their table names.  Technically this is not a favor but there is no board for non paper related escort cards.  We also had a photo printer on the table where people could print out pictures from their phone or camera and then put in their little chair.  People really liked them.




NB: We did not give our wedding rings to our guests.

    Come on, Goldie, you should know this!

    Edible favours are the only way to go.
    But don't do M&Ms because, personally, I HATE M&Ms. And jellybeans. So don't do those. Also, I dislike chunks in my jam.

    But don't do flip flops because what if there aren't enough sizes?!?!?!?!?

    The wedding I was a bridesmaid in had these as the favors:


    It was a winter wedding, so they did hot chocolate cones with chocolate chips and marshmallows.

    People are allergic to chocolate too though so maybe they were a bad, bad idea. Tongue out

    I'm thinking about doing cheesecake (edible: +) in personalized (-) shotglasses (double -) 

    ..and IF people decide to actually take the glasses home, they may not coordinate with their "Viva Las Vegas" shot glasses but whatev.

    Honestly, I would rather have nothing than a crap favor.
    At the last wedding we went to, there were these odd-sized glasses on the table with the couple's name and wedding date. They were too small to use as drinking glasses so I really don't know what they were for. The names and date just guaranteed they were staying on the table that night.

    I'd really hate to accidentally kill someone at my wedding. Some of these favors are dangerous.

    Clearly the only answer is to consult with each and every one of your guests to find out what they would like to receive as a favor. It's what a gracious hostess would do.
