Honest opinion please

We are getting married in November and for favors plan on doing ornaments with a celtic symbol and our name and date around it. We are having a celtic ceremony so this is why we choose the symbol. We would do one per family, I don't think some families would want 5. Does this sound okay and would you just do 1 per family?

I would also like to do something edible to go with them as it seems to be cheaping out on just one thing per family. How would cookies be? or the celophane cones with the hot chocolate mix, marshmellows and mini chocolate chips? or any other suggestions?

    this could be cool, I'd leave off your name and date though, personalized stuff doesn't do it for me, your wedding will be awesome for you, but I don't neccesarily need to remember your date the rest of my life

    The ornaments sound pretty, although it may be more useful for the families that are receiving them if you don't have them personalized with you name and date on them. That's just my personal preference, but if you dig the personalization, go for it. I think it's totally fine for the families to get one ornament and then have cookies or some treat for everyone.

    I think the hot chocolate stuff would be darling, or maybe fudge or chocolate covered pretzles. All of those seem like yummy treats that many people would enjoy.

    ditto others.  LIke the idea.  Like the personalization less.

    I agree with PP. If you want to personalize them, why don't you just write the year you're giving them or include their family surname so it means something to them.

    I would like it but wouldn't want your name and wedding date on an ornament that's hanging on my tree.

    I don't like personalized favours, so I would probably take off your names and date.  That's more for you than it is for your guests.

    Ditto the PPs, skip any permanent personalization. You could always attach a tag with your names and wedding date to the string on each ornament. That way it's personalized for the day, but your guests can take the tag off afterwards when they want to use the ornament.

    Skip the personalization, but I like the idea. You may want to throw something else edible with it as the others have suggested.

    So I have decided to skip the personalization. I do see how someone else would not want it on their tree, makes perfect sense, but I hadn't thought of it that way.

    I also think we will go with the hot cocoa since it is in November.

    Thanks for the insight!

    In terms of edibles, the hot cocoa sounds great, and I think we will be giving maple sugar candy as well.  I'm not sure where you're from, but I think they're a natural for fall.
