Tags for favors?

squirrly

Our favors are chocolate covered pretzel rods.  They're going in cellophane bags, tied with ribbon, and I feel like they need a tag of some sort.  Suggestions?  What should be on them?  Seen any cute ones, especially for similar types of favors?  PIPs would be wonderful.

Here are the ones I made for our bags of cookies.  I thought they came out pretty cute.

Julez, did you handwrite yours?

I have no personal experience with this, but these are really really cute:

Clearly the answer is that you need a poem

I did handwrite mine with one of those shimery silvery pens.

::Ahem:: Check the question you asked me earlier

I designed return address labels on vistaprint for mine. They were brown with pink hearts going up the left side, with pink writing that said, "A sweet treat from the bride and groom! Thank you for attending our wedding!" I don't have a pic, but they turned out cute and were free!

I have not even begun to think about this.

Brie you're having a bad day for wedding planning aren't you?

PS I'm going to be in KC this weekend for a wedding! I won't have time for much else due to H's stupid work schedule, but I'll think of you while we're there!

We got ours from http://www.beau-coup.com/ and they came out really cute.

I used Vistaprint business cards for tags (250 free).  We just punched a hole in the corner and attached them with ribbon.

Brie2010

Yeah, I was OOT all last week and I came back to kind of a planning backlog.  I think it's mostly straightened out, but I'll hopefully feel better after this weekend when I have time to do stuff like our programs and finish buying WP gifts and whatnot. 

Plus, we're nowhere near our minimum, so we have to figure out a whole bunch of upgrades, which is fun, but kind of stressful figuring out what would get us the most for our money/what our guests would like best.

Have fun in KC!  It's supposed to be pretty here this weekend.

Brie, I'm so done with this stuff.  I flip between just not caring to so stressed I'm nauseous a few times a day.  Not caring is winning about 70% of the time, but not right now.

If I don't get around to making my own (which is quite likely), I've been looking at these

You are not alone, squirrly.

But I'm jealous you have all your RSVPs in.  I need to update my sig, but we are still waiting for about 40 of them.  COME ON.

squirrly

We had to give numbers to the caterer last week.  We have two people who are iffy, but we're counting them in.  My escort cards are done too.    I need to take a pic of that project and put it in my bio, cause it kicks asss.  But, I had to make a bunch of calls/texts/emails to get info from people.  And, we're really just guessing for our pre-wedding stuff (cookout & the racetrack).  Because for some reason, people don't know what time they're coming in.  From 1000 miles away.  Gah.

Favors, OOT bags, flip flop basket, cake stand. . . those all need work still.

ashmy211

squirrly where did you or where are you getting your flip flops?

squirrly

The flops were from Hobby Lobby.  I went in with a friend over lunch one day, and they were clearancing just the hot pink and yellow ones - which happen to be our colors - for 40 - 66 cents per pair.  Hell yeah.  And, I got a $5 basket today from Walmart.  It's very plain, no liner, and it's going to stay that way.  

ashmy211

Very nice! I'd like to have a flip flop basket but if I don't find any on sale I'll just skip it. I guess I should actually try and look for some... oops.

Brie2010

Yeah, I wish we'd had our RSVP date last weekend instead of this weekend.  We're getting antsy and FI's already started contacting his guests. 

This weekend is going to be super-productive.  I've had showers and bparties and such the last few weekends, but nothing this weekend, except for a hair color and a manicure.  I WILL get shiit done.  I WILL.

squirrly

Hahahaha.  I have my fitting on Saturday, probably going by the venue and confirming some shiit - they're making me nervous.  Mom and sis are coming up on Sunday to put the favors together.  

Next weekend I'm having a Derby party for ONE here and putting together OOT bags while FI gets drunk as a skunk in the infield.  Yeah.  Not for me.  It's kind of cool that our wedding is the week after Derby, though - nobody gets anything done at work at all during Derby week, so nobody will care if I'm a space cadet next week.  And, I'm only working 3 days the week of our wedding.  So really. . . since tomorrow is Friday. . . I won't get much WORK done at work till. . . June.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Tags for favors? : Just keep an eye on your local craft stores.  They all do the sales.  Plus Old Navy.  I haven't heard of anywhere to buy them online for a decent price, though.

Thanks! I did ask Old Navy when their $1 flip flop sale was going to be but they said they had no idea. I will check the craft stores too, thanks for the tip!
