What do you think of this favor idea?

We come from long lines of cooks.  He is 100% Italian, with parents straight from Italy.  I'm Italian, Portuguese, Irish and English with grandparents straight from those countries.

FI loves to cook as well and is always looking for a new recipe book.

We were going to put a recipe card in our invitation where they write a family recipe and send it with the RSVP cards.

Now, my mother is going to send the cards out with our shower invites, so we can make a family recipe book as favors.  We'll also have an edible favor to go with it along with a mini utensil.

Does this sound ok?

    I think that's a really neat idea, but I know that some family recipes are closely guarded secrets so you may not get as many responses as you'd like. I really like this idea though, it's very unique.

    I think even if they don't pick the typical 'family recipe' most people will still come up with something good to send in :) I love this idea

    We're thinking about naming the recipes after the families they come from as well. There are a few recipes I know we drool over that some might say keep it secrecy, but that's fine as long as we get them. :)

    Anything that ends in me getting recipes would make me happy, even if people just sent in random recipes. I would absolutely love that favor because I love food!

    The only downside is that it might be a lot of work, might get a little expensive, and it would be a bummer to see any booklets left on the tables after the reception after all that hard work went into them.
