Coffe mugs as favors..help?!

So my idea is to have personalized coffee mugs with burlap bags with coffee in them as my favors. I am in love with the ones in the picture below, however, I have 135 guests and these are pricey! I've been trying to find another way to do this idea without it being so expensive! Any ideas?

    Honestly, I'd just do the coffee in the burlap bag.  I'm not a huge fan of personalized stuff, especially if it has other people's personalization.  With a burlap bag of coffee or coffee beans - add a cute personalized tag if you want - even as a non-coffee drinker, I'd enjoy the smell and DH is a coffee fiend so it wouldn't go to waste.  You could also think about a little coffee kit with some sugar cubes and individual flavored creamers (the kind that don't need refrigeration).

    If you have a crowd equally divided between coffee and non-coffee drinkers, you could consider offering a mixture of coffee, loose leaf tea, and hot cocoa or cider, whatever makes sense. 

    If you really want to do the mug, though, I'd skip the personalization and head to a dollar store for some neutral mugs.

    Sorry, I would not want a mug with someone else's name on it. Love the coffee idea though.

    No thanks to the personalization. Actually, we have a mug moratorium in our house due to overcrowding in our cabinets. Just do the coffee beans. That's a lovely and generous favor on its own!

    I'm with @emmyg65.  Another mug?  Nooooooooo.  We already have too much stuff for our little city loft.  But a little bag of coffee would get used up fast.

    Another vote to skip the mug and just do the coffee!
