HELP! MINI LIQUOR BOTTLE FAVORS

Hey Brides!! The big day is coming up in June and I'm looking to purchase the favors now - we need about 160 mini Makers Mark bottles for everyone (Grooms favorite whiskey; adults only). Has anyone purchased mini liquor bottles online before? I've narrowed it down to two sites: beerliquors.com and spiritfavors.com. Both seem legit, but I can't find any reviews on the sites to give me some reassurance. Or do you think it's better to have a local liquor store order them for us? So far, local liquor stores seem to be more expensive. Any help is much appreciated!!

    Honestly, I would contact both of the online companies directly by phone. And actually speak to a live person. Especially if you can't find any reviews. Otherwise, maybe contact a local liquor store in your area and see if they would give a deal.

    Good luck

    This seems complicated. Especially if you're simply trying to save a few bucks by trying to buy online. IMHO, either buy them from a liquor store or nothing.

    Can't you just have a signature drink made with Makers Mark at your reception?

    I highly doubt 160 adult guests all drink whiskey, anyways.

    Personally I wouldn't drink that but dh loves makers mark.  He would take my favor.  :)  As he's sitting next to me he told me to tell you this is a fabulous idea.

    Thanks so much for all your responses! Looks like I'll be checking out the liquor stores. With shipping it was going to be an extra $100 anyway! Geez! I'm sure not everyone likes whiskey, but future hubby doesn't mind taking home some extras since it's his fav.. ;) haha. And the bottles are too cute. Thanks again for all your help!!

    lol, I'm sure FI would do the same thing if sitting next to me :) 
    It is a neat idea from a male involvement perspective; a nice way to have the groom involved and male guests actually getting excited about a favor at a wedding (not sure this happens often).

    Okay, but favors are supposed to be for the guests, not for your FI.

    I honestly don't know anyone who drinks whiskey/bourbon regularly enough to be thrilled with a mini bottle of Makers. And I live in one of the biggest drinking states in the nation.

    Be sure that your venue will allow you to give them out.  They may consider it outside alcohol, which is prohibited at a lot of venues.
