in Favors
I have separate adult favors for male guests VS. female guests, and have each sorted into large baskets (will have a nice sign on each basket) sitting on the table by the guest book. They are only one layer deep in the baskets, so I was debating... In order to keep them straight, to encourage the "adults" to take one (I have separate favors for the kiddos), and to gently remind guests to only take one each, I am considering sticking a name label on the top of each..  Same with the coloring books and crayons for the kids. We are anticipating a really large crowd, so I figure it will help keep track of everything. I will stick a few extras in for any "unexpected" or last minute guests. What do you think? Does this sound tacky?

    If you're assigning tables, then it's really easy to put the favors at the table.  I'm not sure how I feel about name labels on the favors, unless you're doubling them as escort cards.

    I'm not thinking that I like the idea.

    I agree that I'm not a fan of the names on favors.  Also, I'd feel almost required to take one because you're going to know I didn't if my name is on it.

    Try putting them at the table instead.

    I suggest leaving them at the tables - just alternate a guy favor, girl favor, guy favor - you get the point - at the place settings since seating is typically done guy, girl, guy, girl...

    I'd prefer not to have to root through a basket to find my name on a favor.

    There will be kids at the reception, and the reception site recommended NOT assigning seats (they claim that people just move their seats anyway). I like the idea of having favors at the place settings, I think it looks nice. I am not sure how the kids would fit into the equation, though, when it comes to putting favors at the tables, if they say not to do assigned seats. I guess I'll have to think about it ;).  Thanks!
