Favors for Destination Wedding

Hi Ladies,

I'm stuck on what I can do as favors that will travel well. I'm open to suggestions, but because I'm flying across the country for my big day, I need something that's small and unbreakable so that I can throw it into either my check bag or carry on.

The reception is super formal, so I want something to match that environment.

THANKS!

    Is there a theme to your wedding? Where are you getting married?

    How many people?  Are you thinking of something edible or a keepsake?

    I assume a vendor there is making your cake. What if you had the same vendor do some sort of mini-cake or truffle (maybe in your wedding colors) as your favor?

    Perhaps something like these:

    I'm of the opinion that edible favors are always best. I think this is particularly true of a destination wedding, as you don't want your guests to have to worry about packing some small piece of glassware, etc. and travelling back to their homes without it breaking. Also, if you have a local bakery create the favors, it eliminates you having to travel with all the favors and worry about them.

    I just looked and saw that you're getting married in Vegas, right?

    I also got married in Vegas, and for favors we got truffles from Vosges Chocolates.  They come in really beautiful little boxes, and the truffles themselves are amazing.  Everyone loved them.  You can pre-order and they will have them ready for you to pick up- their store is inside the shops at Caesar's Palace.  Here's what ours looked like:

    Getting married in Vegas at the Wynn....we don't necessarily have a theme, but the feel of it is mainly whimiscal and romantic...so definitately none of that Vegas-stuff. our colors are apple red and new century gold. i'm expecting about 50 guests and want to keep the total expense for favors to $1 each (as we're already spending $8K on the reception alone).

    I'm open to either practical or edible favors...my main thing is trying to find something that has an elegance to it to match the feel of the wedding.

    kikibaby - your favors are nice, if you don't mind my asking...how much (spprox.) did they cost??

    The 2 piece boxes were $7.50 each.

    The Wynn is a beautiful place congrats! I personally would think you could do a little cute box or baggie that is cloth ( a little more elegant- to make it feel more romantic) and fill it with some  yummy treats, that way maybe they have a "keep sake" bag and a yummy snack too.
