Coffee packet favors

misslauraalanna

My fiance and I are thinking of using coffee packs with a chocolate dipped spoon as favors for our wedding.

He and I are avid coffee drinkers so the concept makes sense.

The thing I am most worried about is what if some of our guests don't drink coffee or they have a newer coffee maker (Keuring, coffee pod, ect) and can't use what we give them. Should we provide an additional gift so that everyone has something useful?

Money really isn't an issue so we wouldn't be breaking any type of budget. I just want to make sure everyone has a nice memorabilia to take home.

I like the idea, but it's a good point that not everyone drinks coffee. What about the same concept with hot chocolate and coffee and let your guests decide which one to take?

I don't think you necessarily need to please every guest. I hate coffee, but would take it for the spoon. But if you like coffee I was at a wedding with the cutest favors: chocolate covered esspresso beans in a cup labelled "Adam and Eve, the perfect blend."

We are doing almost the same thing for our favors BUT we are each putting a flavor of our favorite coffee grounds in a big fishbowl like vase and putting the following message:
Life’s Perfect BlendJohn and Jane love their daily coffee together.To represent the “blending” of John and Jane's lives, take:One Scoop of Jane's FavoriteOnce Scoop of John's FavoriteYou have helped create the

“Perfect Blend”

For an alternative, we are putting hot chocolate out (I figure these would also be good for the kids at the wedding that probably wouldn't drink coffee )

If you were to go with coffee favors (which I think is a great idea because it reflects you, I would also do like a candy bar of some sort

If money really isn't a concern for you, then I would suggest offering another favor.  I like the hot chocolate idea.  You can still do the chocolate spoons with hot chocolate so that would work out well.

I don't drink coffee personally so I definitely like the suggestion of offering both the coffee and the hot chocolate, unless your wedding is in the summer time, than hot chocolate might not be the best route! I really like the idea though!!

i have a similar dilemma... personally i don't drink coffee, but i don't expect every wedding to have a favor that pleases every guest so i wouldn't be bothered... i'd either take it and give it to someone who would like it or i would just leave it there or hand it to the person next to me who loves coffee!  it's a cute idea and i like it

My FI is a huge coffee drinker, but I prefer tea.  We had thought about this idea as well and we came up with the compromise of using coffee, tea and hot coco and people could pick which one they wanted. 
After it was a said and done we decided to go with a popcorn bar- so unfortunately thats about as far as we got with the idea!

If you can offer tea and/or hot chocolate as well that would be nice.  However, as PP pointed out, finding a favor that will please every single guest is close to impossible so I wouldn't stress too much if you end up with coffee only.

I don't think you need to please everyone either.  That's like giving shot glasses as favors -- not everyone drinks alcohol.
