    I'm thinking coffee, jams, honey etc...any food type item that isn't the typical sweet is becoming more popular now.

    <div>Definitely food. Something practical without too much personalization. We are doing tea bag cozies with cookies (Homemade)</div>

    I am having a photo booth. I hear they are so much fun!

    I think we are doing food favors as well. Cookies from FI's country. My rule for any party we do is that the favor has to be either something edible or something useful, like a bottle opener, coasters, etc. We are also doing the photo booth (were doing a DIY booth).

    We did a donation and Hershey Kisses...I think anything edible is always best.

    Stick with food, but maybe go away from the traditional chocolate.

    Thanks all! My husband and I did hand sanitizer sprays that said "Here's to your Health," and pens, everyone loved the usefulness.

    we are doing a donation to the American Cancer Society as well as some kind of candy (probably hershey kisses) - the cause is important to both of us and they provide a scroll with the donation (www.thehopeshop.org for anyone that wants more information)

    I think we've decided that an Italian themed spoon rest with a personalized tag will be our favor.

    This is what I want to do too! And we're on the same date.<div>Are you getting your frames from the photo booth company or ordering them separately?  I think it seems like I can find them cheaper online than through the company.</div>
