My favor idea for my Las Vegas wedding:
Some kind of box filled with candies (mints, M&Ms, or our personal favorite- gummy bears) with a $1 poker chip from the hotel we're getting married at attached somehow. I have already printed business card thank you tags to attach somehow (I got a VP coupon and took advantage).
My FMILs favor idea:
Cake servers (click)
Opinions on either one are appreciated! Any good arguments I can use for edible favors (which I have always preferred)?
Re: Favor help
People will leave the cake server behind, and then what do you with all of the left-overs. If it's m&ms left over, you get to enjoy them!!
Edible favors are great. They do not stay in a person's home forever and ever collecting dust and causinghte owner to feel guilty when they want to throw it away. There is a general success rule about gifts - when in doubt go with something that is consumable. (Gas card, wine, food, lotion). That way when it isn't a "perfect gift" that's OK, it is used and gone!
Your idea is much better.
With All the Trimmings
I love that your idea goes with your wedding theme. I really love the poker chip idea. I'm not a super sentimental person but I would hang onto the chip as keepsake. And who doesn't love candy?

We thought that people could either hang on to the chip if they were sentimental, or use it if they didn't care (not that $1 will get them very much!)
