2nd Line Handkerchief/Favors

Hi!
I'm considering doing a second line from my ceremony at City Park's Peristyle to the reception at the old casino building.  I thought it would be fun to provide guests with parasols, tambourines, and handkerchiefs to get them in the spirit.  I also thought it would be nice for the handkerchiefs to be embroidered with our initials and the wedding date so that they could double as wedding favors, however, it's proving tricky to find a cheap handkerchief anywhere.  Anyone know where I can get a bunch of cheap plain hankies in various colors?  Better yet, do you know where I could get them inexpensively monogrammed or embroidered?  Thanks!!

    I'm planning to get my hankies here:

    They're the cheapest I've found so far. Instead of monogramming, I'm going to get a stamp made with our monogram and pretty metallic ink and stamp the hankies in one corner (I'm assuming this will work - I haven't tried it yet).
    What about screen printing? That would be a less expensive option.

    I'm also a City Park bride! We're doing the ceremony in the Parterre Rose Garden and having our reception at the Pavilion. I did consider exactly what you're doing, though - second line and all. Great minds...

    Thanks so much for the tips, everyone!  They were all very helpful!

    erin_alane: Crazy that we had such similar plans!  Great minds, indeed!  I love city park and I am so excited to have such a beautiful backdrop for our wedding.

    I am getting mine made on etsy for 45 cents each including shipping.  I have three different colors made in them.  I also found someone on etsy to make me a custom stamp that for only $8.  Just an idea if you are into DIY stuff
