Favors

Would you be disappointed with this?

I don’t want anyone to be disappointed with the favors. I really love them and they serve double duty.  I like that they are also the escort cards. What do you think?

    Honestly, I probably wouldn't realize it was a favor, and just think 'wow, what cool escort cards'.  I would probably leave it behind.

    ditto nhelene.  I assume these are real mini-pumpkins, right?  I'd probably think you had adorable escort cards, but I don't think I'd take it home as a favor.

    I wouldn't realize it was a favor and probably wouldn't take it unless I was told to. But I do think they are a very cute, fall idea.

    I think you should anticipate that people won't realize they're favors, and expect to have most of them leftover.

    However, they are an adorable escort card idea.

    I always take my escort card with me so whether I realized it was a favor or not, I'd still be taking it home.

    Thanks ladies. I am glad that I also have a candy bar.

    i wouldn't take it home, but I would think it was adorable!

    What does one do with the pumpkin? I don't see how its a favor. I mean its adorable for an escort card but I don't see how its a favor. Its not something they can eat (I don't think) and its not a trinket they can keep. I would definitly keep the candy bar idea.

    That's what I was going to say.  I wouldn't be disappointed, but I don't think it's a favour.

    First off: I like the pumpkins. They're cute, and you like them, so keep them.    You're doing the candy, and I consider that a decent favor.

    But the other reason I wouldn't take it home is that it's a vegetable and will eventually go bad.   

    ETA: If there's a bunch left over you've got thanksgiving decorations.  And some of your other guests may grab more than one if they want to decorate with them.   I really think they're cool as escort cards... just trying to explain why it's not the best idea for a favor

    Depending on your artist ability I think it would be cute to put peoples first names or a design on the pumpkins itself. Martha Stewart has tons of super cute pumpkin painting ideas and it make make it more of a favor. Leave the information on the tag though, so you dont have table numbers painted on the mini pumpkin that way the guests can use it as an extra holiday decor.
