Im having trouble figuring out what to do for my wedding favors. Im trying to have military inspired wedding favors....i was thinking like anchor keychains? but im not sure because i just dont want these to be cheesy. any ideas?

I think that's cute! What branch is your FI in? Thanks for dropping by this board - I know these ladies will be able to give you great suggestions.

You could do anchor keychains, but you could also do candles with anchors on the side or something like that? Are you incorporating the military in any other way?

If you go edible you could do cookies with an anchor

I'd go edible with cookies. We made 300 coasters for each guest at my cousin's wedding. We collected about 250 back the following morning because nobody took them. I wouldn't want to end up with 250 keychains but if I ended up with 250 cookies I wouldn't mind so much.

DItto Sammy. Personally I would like an anchor keychain since H is Navy, but 95% of your guests would probably toss it out or leave it on the table. Edible is usually always the way to go to ensure that people like them. Plus leftovers won't go to waste.

These are kinda pricey but really cute.

Or you could buy a mold like this one and just make your own chocolates and put them in a bag or container.

I'm very pro-edible favor. Even then we ended up with some left over m&ms, which wasn't too bad

Another vote for edible here. I don't know if we'll do anything, but I do know that I don't want to end up with 100 beer coozies with my name and wedding date on them. Not saying that you'd do those, but they're really popular with my family and I've already put the kibosh on that.

I vote edible. Honestly, my H is in the navy but I'd either leave the key chain at the wedding or throw it away.

I have a crap ton of wedding koozies that I just got rid of. I vote cookies or candy.

Edible! Anchor cookies would be cute

Haha, DMB, funny you say that about the beer koozies! We have friends who are coming to our wedding who we met about a year after they got married, and they basically handed us 5 koozies that first night we were at their house because they had a box of them! And they asked us the other day if we were going to do those, because they said they have no more space for koozies because all their friends did them, too! Very funny.
