Favors
Chopsticks?!
Hi everyone.
This is my first post so please forgive me if I screw this up.
I was hoping you (anyone) could help and perhaps give me some insight. I was originally going to have an asian themed wedding (sparingly) and I bought 100 chopsticks as favors. Perhaps too premature because I am now having my ceremony/reception at a tuscan venue,
I am Italian, Japanese, and Irish-- I know crazy mix right! Do you think there is a way I could implement the favors without them looking/seeming out of place?? Or a creative way to introduce ect. I will sell them if need be but my wedding is in Oct and time is ticking so I figure I would ask here as google has not been so helpful.
Thanks so much in advance.. I look forward to any and all ideas!!

Re: Chopsticks?!
Buy a bunch of organza bags (cheap on eBay) and fill with an Italian candy. Tie a ribbon around that and the chopsticks and you'll have a cute, fusion thing going on.
If you can't tie in the chopsticks with anything else, skip it.

Hello, Sweeney2012! The best way is to engrave your chopsticks with the bride and groom's first name on the handle of one, and the wedding date on the handle of the other. If you go to <a href="http://www.thechopstickstore.com/Engraved_Chopsticks_s/1844.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.thechopstickstore.com/Engraved_Chopsticks_s/1844.htm</a> you can get them engraved there. They have excellent customer service and a fast turnaround (about a week to your door)... but any engraving shop could probably do it. Just make sure you use a CO2 Laser Engraver... they work the best for chopsticks! Have a happy wedding! -Ben-smilin' <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />
[QUOTE]Are the chopsticks generic like the kind at a restaurant or is it unique?

Sorry for the delay! My heads been spinning as we get close to the 100 day mark (plus summer class finals--drag)...
The chopsticks are all different some have dragons, some cherry blossoms, they are in a fabric oriental pocket like case. Really nice actually.
Anyone have a clever way to introduce them? How to place them etc???
