What are you doing for favors?

amandad18

We were going to do a doughnut & coffee bar at the end of the night, but now we're rethinking it- We don't want to have to worry about getting doughnuts the morning of the wedding.

What are you ladies doing/ thinking about doing?

I was originally not going to have a favor at all.  Now we have a photobooth, so I suppose the photos the guests get to take home are their "favors".  And since I'm a Type A control freak (IE, want to do everything myself), my mom asked me if she could put together a candy bar for the wedding (apparently she went to a wedding that had one and fell in love with the idea), so now there's that.

We ordered personalized stemless wine glasses, they came out really cute and they were only about $1 each! we are going to put some kind of little edible in them like a truffle or chocolate.

We are doing a smores kit. With that we are including the story of how my FI asked me to marry him. It will be so cute and fun for our guests. Most of them don't know the story.

We are doing a candy buffet, too.

We were not going to do favors, but my sister had the idea (that I'm sure I have mentioned before) to do gummy frogs, since they are a favorite of mine and the reception venue is called Frog City Cafe, So that is what we are doing

I'm trying to put together a DIY photobooth that I hope will serve as the favors, but I'm also considering the popcorn idea that Mona mentioned.

we have a photobooth so that will be our favor since guests can print out their images.

We are doing little Ghiridelli Chocolate squares in green boxes wrapped in teal or purple ribbons with matching flowers on top.

FI gave me chocolates on our first date.... honestly it really creeped me out and became quite the story with my girlfriends... the whole what do you do when on a 1st date meeting for the first time  in real life (we met through an internet dating site) a guy gives you chocolates... the answer? Marry him ;-)

We're doing bags of zebra popcorn (our favorite!). It's caramel popcorn drizzled with dark chocolate and white chocolate (from popcornopolis).
We'll also be giving each guest a deck of playing cards.

You should order a bag of it to try for yourself. They have a ton of different flavors, but zebra is my and FI's favorite.  You'll get addicted! :)

We're doing FROZEN YOGURT! Either Pinkberry or Yogurtology will come out and serve 3 flavors w/6 toppings...everyone knows it's our favorite lol we're hooked (went 3 times last week...I'm bad)..ordered purple spoons from Oriental Trader and will get poly bags around then then tie ribbon w/the favor tag that says "enjoy our favorite sweet treat, thanks for celebrating with us!"

My FI grew up in the Cayman Islands and I grew up in Ohio, so we are having Tortuga Rum Cakes to represent Cayman and buckeyes to represent Ohio.  We'll put them at every other seat so the idea is each couple with go home with one of each.  For the single guests, they'll have to settle for whatever is in front of them. 

We had picked out a place to order the buckeyes from, but my sisters just offered to make them!!  (About 300-400!!)  So sweet of them!

We are doing a photo booth as well I ordered vinyl bookmark that willl be it on each place setting and inside of the bookmarks I have thank you notes that I made with PowerPoint and then printed at walgreens. Since I'm on my phone I can't post pictures so if u want to see, it is in my website under 5.19.12-weddings in pictures then down to the favors.

FI's aunt is making boxes with chocolates in them! I'm excited, her chocolates are sooo good!

We have a photo booth too, so I want to do a frame or something so people have something to put their favorite photo in.

I am doing full size candy bars. Probably a mix or Hershey's milk chocolate and special dark (my fav!) and I am making custom candy bar wrappers which will also serve as the escort cards with each guests name and table number on it.

We're doing cookies! As of now, I'm having a local bakery cook/pre-package them, but depending on how the budget looks closer to the wedding, I may have them turn it into a dessert bar so that people can pick their own.

The 3 cookies I have in the bag as of now are chocolate chip, snickerdoodle (sugar cookie), and oatmeal rasin. I plan to buy some personalized stickers from etsy saying "love is sweet - amanda and allan" to close up the bags to give it a personal touch.

We are doing mini chocolates from an amazing local place.

We're doing Mexican wedding cookies in small boxes that will also have the escort cards attached with ribbon in order to incorporate my culture. We're also doing a photobooth.

We're doing a photo booth w/ bookmark sleeves for them to put their pictures in.

Originally I wanted to do something edible (chocolates, cookies, or smores), but I think I'm just going to give a donation in lieu of favors to the rescue where FI and I adopted our dog.

We are doing a candy buffet.  We also got golf tees with our names and date on them.  FI is a golfer and works in the golf industry, so it's a huge part of his life.  If there are a lot left, he can use them!

FutureMrsSheeler

We're having a candy buffet, and a cake pop at each place setting

We are doing personalized pint glasses for each guest.

I am making chocolate covered pretzel rods for the favors I want to be able to do something that people will actually notice & enjoy!

I've loved hearing everyone's ideas!!!

I was trying to figure out how much fruit trays were on Sam's website, and inspiration struck- The FI LOVES Svenhard danishes, and Sam's sells them. So instead of late night coffee & doughnuts, we're doing coffee & Svenhard's- FI is SO excited
