Travel Theme Favors: Compass or Maps

in Favors
Hello Everyone,

My future husband & I love to travel and that is not a secert. We are having a theme wedding focused on travel.

I am looking for favors for app. 150 guest and not very exspensive. I was praying that I find compasses or small maps to attach a small poem to, however, no luck.

ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED. I'M STUCK AT THIS POINT.

Thanks in advance for you help

    To be honest, I'd have absolutely NO use for a compass or a map.  I'd either leave it behind, or toss it as soon as I got home.

    How about luggage tags?  You could first use them as escort cards:  guest's name and table # on it, and then it could double as a favor.  THAT I could use!

    And skip the poem.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    We are also doing a travel themed wedding and we are using these luggage tags as escort cards which guests can take home with them after the wedding.

    We also had an Etsy seller make us chocolate globe suckers using a mold similar to this one.

    Edible is always good!

    Hope that helps!

    Sorry but I wouldn't know what to do with compasses and map if I got them at a wedding.  I would do something more practical that your guest can use, like luggage tag or something along those lines.  As gypsy said, something edible always work.

    Luggage tags would be awesome!

    I am geeky enough to love compasses but the kind that would be cheap enough to get one for everyone are pretty meh. They'd be like Crackerjack-box quality.

    My best friend did airplane shaped luggage tags for her favors, and the tables were named after destinations they had traveled to.  The tags doubled as escort cards, "flying" you to your seat :)

    Luggage tags are ok, but I already have cute ones I like, so I personally would not be using them on my luggage.

    I like the compass... a cheap one would make a good key chain (imo).  A map of what...? (An idea: a map of your church to the venue might be cute AND cheesy) 
    And I think the luggage tag is a not bad idea.
