We went to a friends wedding that had balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a pair as a favor and loved it. They were so popular that people were taking the extra ones off of the tables from people who left before the favors were put out.
So we decided to go with flavored olive oils as our favors, since a good portion of our family doesn't drink, there will be children in attendance, and we wanted something edible that everyone can have. My grandma offered to make Kahlua favors which was very sweet of her, but we didn't want the non-drinking guests to be left out/have to order two different favors.
We haven't decided which flavor yet but probably the lemon is what we'll go with since my fiance' LOVES lemon things.
I just wanted to share the favors in case anyone is looking for olive oil favors that look pretty too:
https://shop.roundpond.com/store/index.cfm?fuseaction=view&category_id=39Hopefully these are a "good" favor and people don't think they are no good...so far everyone we've asked has seemed genuinely excited about it [of course I doubt they would tell us if they thought they were a terrible idea since they wouldn't want to be rude! lol.]
Do they seem like something people will be happy to get? Or would you think wtf is wrong with these people why did they give us these?
I've gotten plenty of terrible favors, so I would rather know if mine are going to suck so I don't give out terrible favors! The worst ones I've gotten were a cd of the bride and grooms favorite songs...it was just awkward to listen to because I had no connection to the songs personally. Candles. Jordan Almonds. Bubbles.
Re: Excited for our Olive Oil Favors!
I ordered stickers from Zazzle to place on them, the olive oils come with a tag on them tied with ivory raffia, so the label we used had an ivory colored background that matched it perfectly and tied it all together. http://www.zazzle.com/aqua_ivory_damask_round_wedding_labels_sticker-2179466311309528044
They looked beautiful on the tables, and everyone loved them. We literally had none left at all when we picked up our stuff the next day from the Winery and had a couple people tell us that they stole extras because they wanted them so badly.
One of our friends said she cooked with it the next day when they made dinner, so that was pretty awesome to hear too!
They were on the more expensive side, but the lady at Round Pond who helped us was extremely nice and gave us the wine club discount since we were ordering such a large amount of them.
I definitely recommend them! We originally were stuck on what to do for favors and these ended up being way better than we imagined.
