Do me a favor and take my favor poll?

tuarceatha · April 2012

I'm curious about what favors you all have decided upon...

I'm testing out our recipe this weekend. I read mixed reviews and I want to taste it myself. Plus FI didn't seem too excited about this idea, but maybe once he tastes it he'll be sold

(I think he was worried it'd be too expensive--but I love the idea!)

That's a super cute idea! My first instinct was, "Ice cream? Won't that melt?" But I love the little kit! I would probably make 1/2 (no more than 2/3) the number of guests you have - not everyone will take one, and some will take one per couple or family.

We're doing Georgetown Cupcakes. FI and I met in DC, and it's our little nod to DC (plus cherry blossom branches - fake - in a vase on the mantel). He also used to buy them all the time for me whenever I was moody - I've been going there literally since the first week they opened, long before they got famous. They opened a NYC store and they're about to open a Boston store. We're going to order them through the Boson store.

We aren't doing favors. But I am doing a flip flop basket for the ladies so I feel like that's a favor for the women

My Fiance and I have opted to give back to the hospital where I underwent major life changing surgery just six months after we started dating. In lieu of a specific favor we are making a donation to them in honor of our guests. However, our place cards are little pieces of coral which our guests will be able to take home.

We are getting married in Hawaii, and will have leis as our favors for our South Carolina reception.

I wasn't going to give favors at first. I ordered through eBay glass votives at .25 a piece but had to order 300. The reception hall is dark even with the lights on, so I wanted candles everywhere. I plan on using flameless candles which were the cheapest at Wal-mart. Since I have far more votives than I need; the difference was just enough to make them my favors. Instead of the flameless as favors, I found tea lights at Ikea and the ordered favor bags from China (eBay). The total cost for my favors ended up being .56 each. I also have a photobooth; I got a great deal through Groupon in my area.

We are having a candy buffet and a photobooth as favors. We have little plastic book mark slips for guests to put their photobooth slips in.

We using flipbooks which is basically a photobooth but we will hae photographers who take a bunch of photos that's then printed out on the spot into a flip book. My FI had a flipbook vendor at a work conference he went to and as soon as I saw the flipbook takeaway, I was hooked! Oh, you can also customize the flipbook cover.

I was originally going to do a food favor of some sort but I have decided to do something honoring my grandma who I was really close with. I wanted a way to honor her at the wedding so we decided to figure out what our budget was for favors and donate that to CaringBridge. It was a website that helped my family/friends stay connected while my grandma was sick. She past away last July so I thought of posting a big sign saying that we did that on behalf of our guest in loving memory of her. Hopefully our guests are ok with that!

We are doing hugs and kisses wrapped in tulle, we also have a signature shot and will get a personalized shot glass as well. But the ice cream idea is awesome!
