Help with wording -- take this frame with you

Hello all, We are using small silver frames as our escort cards, with card stock inside them with the guests' name and table number on them. We want the guests to take these with them at the end of the night as a little favor/gift, and we want to put a note with them on the table where they'll pick them up to explain this. I am having trouble figuring out how to word the note. This is all I've come up with so far, and I know it's extremely cheesy! If anyone has any other ideas, I would love to hear them... thanks in advance! "This frame will help you find your seat but after that, its job is complete. So, as a thank you, take it with you." Here's photo of sort of what it looks like, as a general idea: [img]http://media.redgaloshes.com/sq/273/004472.jpg[/img]

Re: Help with wording -- take this frame with you

  • Have you already purchased the frames? If not, I'd really reconsider. Most people won't have the desire or use for a tiny photo frame. I've gotten them from weddings and showers before and they always wind up in the trash eventually. If you're already bought them ... I think most people will get the jist that they're a favor. If you're really concerned about it, you could just put out a small sign that says "Please feel free to take these frames home as a gift" or something like that.

  • I don't think that it really needs to be explained.  Your guests will know to take it with them.  They'll leave it behind if they don't want it. I've seen this a handful of times so far this year and I always take them (beacause I feel bad leaving them) and immediately throw them away.  I really don't have any use for a *forgive me* cheap, tiny picture frame.
  • Thanks, guys. I think we'll pass it along word of mouth.
  • Think about it nobody has pictures that size. Seriously what would you be able to do with that size frame at your own house? Skip it as a favor and just realize that guests will largely not take them and those who do with either trash them or donate to goodwill
