Cookie cutters

hallk33

I am thinking of giving cookie cutters as a favor for our fall themed wedding. Everyone would get one of their own. The cookie cutters would be an acorn, maple leaf and other leaf so that families wouldn't have all the same kind. The cookie cutters would also be attached to the escort cards. I have found the cookie cutters in bulk that works out to about $0.80 a person. These are metal cookie cutters that look sturdy and are dishwasher safe. If some people forgot theirs then we will donate them to someplace like a women's shelter.

I don't like the idea, but I'm not a fan of favors that end up shoved in a drawer or closet. How many guests do you have? What about something like this?

I got a cookie cutter favor one time and I enjoyed it because it was attached to a recipe and some cookie mix.

If you attached a cookie in the shape of it, it may be a little better.  But I don't make cookies with cutters- maybe someday when I have kids?

Maybe I am biased because I LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook and bake so this would an awesome favor for me!

I definitely prefer edible favors. I probably wouldn't take this with me because I don't cook, and I dislike wedding favors that simply collect dust once I get them home.

If it is just the cookie cutter, then most guests will probably end up throwing it in the trash. I like one of the PP's ideas of attaching a cookie in the shape of the cookie cutter and a recipe card. To me, that would make the favor worthwhile. It's a cute idea overall, I just think you should add more to it.

I've gotten this favor at 2 weddings only they were hearts.  One was 10  years ago and the other was 3 years ago.  Both cutters are still attached to the cards they came on.  BTW, I love to cook/bake just haven't had the need for hearts.

I've seen these at wedding where peopl lay down the cookie cutter and fill it with chocolate.  That way you get a cookie cutter and a piece of chocolate in the shape of the cookie cutter to take home.  You can also do a cookie or cookie mix with it.  Everyone likes edible favors.

I like the IDEA of a cookie cutter, but in reality most of FIs male friends and people like my uncles have no use for such a thing and they will go to waste. It's just not a unisex gift.

I don't find this appealing.  I like my cupcakes where I can eat them without a spoon.  Besides, don't you have cake too?  And as far as a favor that "gets shoved into a cupboard"---where in the world do you think the jar is gonna go??

Go with the cookie cutters.  If someone doesn't want to use the cutter, then can leave it, or give it to someone who will want it.  It's a usable favor, and I love the idea about donating the rest of them.

I'm definitely not the norm, but I think edible favors are bullshit. Edible favors are just another dessert that everyone will eat AT the reception. Now, if you had a cookie or cookie mix attached to a cookie cutter, that'd be awesome. It's what we were thinking about, and might end up doing. But we are hardcore bakers.
