Way back when, I decided I wasn't going to have any favors. I find the added expense to be a bit of a waste and most folks, universally, are never really jazzed with what the bride and groom pick out.
Then I was working on the menu one day and thought, mints might be appreciated by guests after a few meal courses. So I started to research buying little tins to fill up with mints of my choice. But even these little tins add up, without factoring a label for them (not too bad though) and the mints themselves.
So today the light bulb went off and I thinking about this instead - why not have one (or two) small, closed jars on the table with mints inside. Less money than getting a favor for each and every person, and if someone doesn't want or need a mint, no biggie, otherwise it's right there on the table.
What do you think? Has anyone else done anything similar and if so, how did it go? Thanks.
