So I plan to have a vintage themed wedding. I got the idea to hand out vintage hankies in envelopes labeled happy tear. I also plan to make burlap flags that have "yay" painted on them for guests to wae in excitment.
At our reception I am planning a vintage old general/candy store feel and have candies like boston baked beans, necco wafers, swizzles sticks, candy buttons ect.
I was thinking vintage hankies were a really neato idea, then again I like things that have had a history but now I'm second guessing it...I mean I still want to have a basket with them for guests to take if they want but what are the chances guests will take a hankie? If you went to a wedding like this would you partake? Are the other two items cheesy/not worth it?
Re: Vintage favor ideas
I don't think I'd offer anything else. I'm a vintage type of gal, and would probably not use the handkerchief or the burlap flag.
If you have some extra money left, why not just buy more candy? Or offer a nice coffee/tea service with some donuts & pastries before guests leave?
If you really want something for tears of joy, maybe you could make a tissue cover out of a vintage style fabric or wrapping paper in your colors. Most guests probably won't take one, but I would be more inclined to take this than I would a hanky. As pp said, they don't seem to get much use these days.
