    FI loves pecan candy, and his Aunt makes it the best so we are planning on giving pieces of Pecan candy away in cute bags with a tag.

    okay SunnyBB you're talking to me! I was actually thinking about doing these as well. I wanted to do something that was kind of close to home and you can't go wrong with New Orleans' own praline candies.

    Oh those prailine candies are the bomb.com.
    That would be nice in a clear bag of some type with a Thank You Tag Attached or some fun wording.

    We are doing poker chips with our name and wedding date on it since we are going to be in Vegas and M&M candies.  I am putting them in heart shaped tins with a ribbon around them.
    Until the first full year of being one! Anniversary

    Im doing cd soundtracks of the wedding. All the music played during the ceremony which will all be 80's r&b(my favorite music). My friend did that at his wedding and I can honestly say everytime I listen to it, I see his wedding all over again!

    We are doing a few things for favors. For one we are doing a ice cream station so guests can have something sweet other than the cake. Two we are doing a wedding CD with all of favorite wedding love songs and etc on it, a CD that speaks us and lastly the little clear boxes with chocolates in there with our monogram on it. There's so many cute ideas to do

    We are doing 2 favors: The first is going to be clear pillow boxes with our ribbon colors and personalized labels... they will contain our favorite candy... Gummi Bears! and the 2nd is going to be a nod to FI..A Cookie bar! That way people also have the choice between cake and cookies.. and if they would like to take something with them to munch on they can!
