thank you gifts.

Hey ladies! I'm new here so I'm not really sure how everything works. I'm having a really hard time finding thank you gifts that are cheap but cute. My date is may 18th so i have plenty of time but, I'm doing mostly diy so i feel i need the extra time. I live in Utah where most engagements are around 4 months. Most people just give a piece of candy that says thank you. i would like to do more than that. If you have any cute ideas or websites please let me know. Thanks! :

Are you talking for all the guests (like favors?) or for the people in your bridal party (or others that helped you out, such as ushers)? If it's the bridal party, what I'm doing is getting them a picture frame where I can put a hand written thank you note in it as well as a picture of me and that person from the wedding (I'm doing this for my bridesmaids, mom, and fmil). FI is doing personalized tie clips for his guys and the dads.

I too ask if you're referring to favors or thank you cards. No matter what if someone gives you a gift, they get a thank you card. Favors aren't a necessity at weddings, most of the time people don't take them- I'm not having favors at all since that's money that would be put to better use elsewhere.

Yes like a thank you favors. Something that your guests take home from your reception.

I've decided not to do any. But I am setting up my photobooth, so we will send a photo or two in each Thank you note. Some people may be miffed that were not sending them home with anything but oh well.

Not doing anything. The past couple of weddings I have been too havent had favors and to be honest I iddn't notice till now. O well. If you wanna count ours as favors in pittsburgh we have cookie tables typically with tons of cookies. I got cute boxes for people if they would want to take them home.

As for favors, my FSIL is going to make big marshmallows on a stick dipped in chocolate and graham cracker crumbs and put a few on each table. They're delicious and she loves making things like these, so I figured why not? Just need to think of some kind of cute saying to attach to it...
