in Pennsylvania-Philadelphia

Hi all! My fiance and I have lived in Philly for the past couple of years, but we are getting married in our hometowm of Pittsburgh. I'm looking for a way to incorporate Philly into the reception, since it's our new hometown. Any thoughts? I was trying to think of Philly themed favors that would work well. All I've come up with so far is possibly handing out soft pretzels as a late night snack at the reception. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    Where in Pittsburgh are you getting married?  In April I got married in the Cranberry/Wexford area. 

    I like the soft pretzel idea.  Honestly I would stick with some sort of food idea, because most of the time favors get left.

    When I saw the title of this post I was thinking of suggesting soft pretzels, lol. I think they would be good as long as you can get them fresh that day. But nothing beats a soft pretzel after a long night of drinking and dancing!

    you could try using different sports stuff. Like Flyers hockey pucks, or mini Phillies bats. Philly is a HUGE sports town. Or see if you can get little liberty bells to put on the tables.

    Pretzels are great, but I was at a wedding reception at Cescaphe this past October and on the way out there were cheesesteaks for us to pick up and take with us.  It was awesome, we had great late night snacks to take back to the hotel.  Pretzels would be easier logistically, but cheesesteaks are quintessential Philly. :)
    I also like the LOVE idea above.  You could make labels or something with the LOVE logo on them and add them to another favor.
