Hi Knotties!! PLEASE tell me what you are doing for favors for your guests! I'm trying to think of something different than the usual pretty ribbon wrapped mini box with candy to fill, or candy already inside. And I don't like the idea of mini wine bottles, so if you have any other suggestions, please feel free to share! THANKS!
Re: What are you using for Favors???
Two wedding I've gone to in the past month gave out personalized shot glasses. Very cute!
Sorry, but I'm in the group that thinks edibles are the way to go. I don't want anything with someone's name and date on it, I don't want seeds or a sapling to plant. A little special snack is great. Those are the favors that don't get left behind.
We are giving candles. They will be wrapped in tulle with our name and date so after the wedding it can be removed and they use the candle without our info on it.

</div><div>We're doing personalized shot glasses with "thank you" wrapped mints in them. I was going to do just plain paper boxes, but they were like $0.50 - $0.75 each and the shot glasses are only $1 each. I think the shot glasses look much nicer than paper boxes though so I'm getting them. I collect shot glasses and think a lot of my friends will like them. I fully expect some people not to take them, but I don't really mind.

I was thinking about doing these candles - http://www.kateaspen.com/cherry-blossom-elegance-mini-candle-set_7D.html but thankfully I went to a local Party City to pick up one as a sample. Somehow, even though I had looked at this candle online for at least a month if not longer, I had never noticed the measurements.
This thing is TINY. Instead of 'mini pillar' it should say 'itty bitty will burn away in 15 minutes' candle. I was really surprised. There's no way I'd use that as a favor, and I sure as heck wouldn't pay $2 apiece for them.
I'm still contemplating their cherry blossom soap, but I'm not sure about it.
I have a feeling we're going to end up doing candy or cookies. I saw a place online that did macarons, but unfortunately they were only in NYC and didn't ship. I looooooooove French macarons.
As a person who is allergic to many scents, please be sensitive (no pun intended!) about that when purchasing candles or soaps. Even just having them on display in the room might be enough to make some guests get a scratchy throat and watery eyes.
