Ideas for small wedding favor

Ok, so we are having a photo booth as our main favor, but I also wanted something small and relatively cheap on the tables.  I did order matchbooks, but wanted something else small to go with them...any ideas?  Thanks!

    We are doing matchbooks and a photobooth as well.  We figured if we picked up another favor it would have to be something that if left behind we would use so we didn't end up wasting money (and with 100 gifts we will never use), so we went with koozies.  After shipping we spent 59 cents a piece.  We put our monogram on one side and the saying Love is the greatest refreshment of all.-Pablo Picasso  If guests leave them behind, we may have koozies until we die-but at least we know we will use them. :)

    We did a late night snack, mini grilled cheese, instead of a favor. It was a big hit!

    Since you are having a photobooth, you can get tall, thin easel type acrylic frames to fit your photo strips in----we may use ours  to do double duty and use them to  hold the cards to tell guests what table they sit at-----if you get the frame with a T-stand versus the easel, then you can insert the photo on one side and the place card setting on the other.  These frames can easily be embellished with anything from a simple handpainted monogram, sticker, or bead to coordinate with your decor.  Approximate cost 80 cents.

    I'm thinking of doing scratch off lottery tickets with a sticker that says "Lucky in Love" and our wedding date or something like that.  They're cheap and if we buy over 200 of them, some of our guests are bound to win some money!

    I love the koozie idea, easel idea, and the lottery idea, too.  With our venue, it'll be too hard to do a late night snack...where did you get the koozies?  And the easels?  And are you just buying regular lottery tickets and putting labels on them?  Thanks for all the ideas!

    As far as easels, check with your photobooth people first----they may actually offer them.  However, I have found several online resources:

    wholesalecentral.com has them for @0.60 each if you buy more than 85.  Under product search, type in "acrylic photo strip frames" and several choices will pop up.

    Photostripframes.com also offers the frames but the cost is closer to $1.00 each.

    Because photobooths are so popular now, stores such as Michaels, JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby or PosterWorks may carry them as well. 
    Good luck!!
