your wedding favors. im totally curious. i remember getting a little organza bag of pastel colored mints and totally gagging on them. so, please, spill, what did/are you going to do??

eas2730 · February 2010

We are doing a Colorado theme, part of which is about prairie dogs. So the favors are two prairie dog gingerbread cookies in a clear bag with some candy at the bottom that looks like grass. They will also be the cake topper, iced to look like bride and groom.
I was going to make sugar cookies and then ice them and then my friend said make gingerbread cookies, they're already brown, as pdogs are, plus they'll keep longer.

I happen to like Jordan almonds and dinner mints. Guess I'm the minority.

lisarose7 · February 2010

I'm making sets of wine glass charms. I wanted to make the favors myself so I bought everything at Michaels and I've been working on them periodically. It's just wire and beads, so they're pretty easy. I was afraid they'd look cheap, but I showed my mother and a few friends I can depend on for an honest opinion and they liked them.

We are actually doing a donation to the American Cancer Society in lieu of favors.

People always end up leaving favors behind.I know when I go to weddings I hardly notice them or toss them out once I am home.

I also liked the idea of carmel apples and homemade salsa. YUM

Tell me about the rabbits again George.

psichick · February 2010

i think we're doing those plantable cards. we're having a graden type theme so it works.

hughe046 · February 2010

We are getting married in New Orleans, so we are having 'Geaux Cups' (gotta love a city with an open container law), koozies and these small mason jars with Lousiana stone ground grits with the recipe for shrimp and grits attached (we are serving it at the reception).

suz62984 · February 2010

My FI really wanted Koozies and since it is his wedding too, and he hasn't asked for hardly anything, then I said ok. The kicker. He wants camo koozies because he is in the military. We compromised. I got girlie koozies and he got some camo ones with his military cross rifles. We're just going to leave them by the bar.

Shaki · February 2010

i am doing a candy buffett so that will be a from of a favor, then im doing coasters for each family, i dont know if my grandmother is still doing the almonds for me or not. but thats all my favors so far.

britne28 · February 2010

My FI is really interested in the personalized M & Ms. Though I do like the idea of plantable cards.

mrs.mims · February 2010

CaliopeSpidrman : they look just like the ones in the movie Donnie Darko

nyrek · February 2010

His family is Italian, so the food is too. We found these cheap and jumped:

But we're also having jordan almonds at each place setting.

rodeo417 · February 2010

I am baking and decorating sugar cookies in the shape of a wedding cake. Simple and I haven't met anyone that doesn't like cookies!

kbevers · February 2010

We are doing the personalized Jones Soda bottles. I like the idea of using our engagement photos for other things and we are ordering them in colors to match our wedding so they double as table decorations.

aneresRN · February 2010

We're probably doing carmel apples. Our wedding is in October, so it fits the season and who doesn't love carmel apples! It was important to me to have something edible, they're the only kind of favors I've ever liked.

[Deleted User] · February 2010

A photo booth. The best part will be that I fiance and I get a CD of all the pictures everyone takes during the evening.

aprovencher21 · February 2010

I've decided on wine in favor size bottles with our personalized label (I'm a wino)....and a silver snowflake wine bottle stopper (the wedding themes are snowflakes and crystals).

I love this idea! This was actually one of our first ideas for a favor, but it was a little too expensive for us. I hope your guest love them!

LauraW313 · February 2010

We are doing a candy bar where people go up and fill their favor bag with what they prefer. We'll have the almonds, m&m's in blue, red and yellow, some truffles...that kind of thing. Who doesn't like chocolate (rhetorical...no need to answer that one!!!)

etaraskewich · February 2010

Cookie Buffet with little take-out bags.

kimberlyann1974 · February 2010

I ordered mason jars online, had a monogram made for the front of the jars, and filled them with homemade divinity. Cut out little red patterned squares and red ribbon for the tops.

For the little ones I made flower pots with pinwheels for their centerpieces and told them they could take the pinwheels...also I bought them small coloring books and 8 pack crayons and heart sucker bouquets...kept them busy and happy lol

you mean like divinity cookies? those are soooo good. how do you make it? im kinda confused.

mrs.mims · February 2010

I have a question for all those making homemade cookies and treats:
when are you gonna find the time to bake that shiit?
I have to work everyday. wtf?!

papermate · February 2010

Considering these! You can personalize the box with your own names:

Super cheap too!

I also really like the personalized Jones soda bottle idea but I priced it and still a little unsure I want to spend that much on it!

jaimed99 · March 2010

As far as I know, my friend is going to make chocolate favors. We haven't decided what shapes yet, though...
