I designed some custom mason jar mugs that I think people will find fun.
We are going to have a photo booth, etc, and one of the props is a big mustache. I made the mugs have a big mustache.
We are anticipating 125 guests (with a GOOD chunk of about 15 of them being small children).
We are not thinking we are going to order 125 favors, instead doing like 100 considering some people won't take them, some couples will only take one, kids won't take them, and we don't want to get stuck with a TON leftover.
thoughts?
Re: How many do you order?
Host a good party that has good food, good drinks, good music and a good flow and you don't need to drop an anvil on people's heads with a quirky favor to demonstrate that you're "fun". A favor is a small thank you to your guests. You've already acknowledged that a fair amount probably wouldn't take this particular favor with them (and have had others chimed in they wouldn't...I wouldn't, just for the record - my cabinets are too full as it is) so why not pick something the majority are going to like? It's a thank you to them, not a showpiece to demonstrate your likes. Find some retro candy that most people would like, if you want something a little more unusual. Or don't have a favor at all if you're trying to save money. Not having a favor at all is perfectly acceptable.
What if you put candy inside the mason jar, if you are really into the mason jar idea?
Another vote for one per person, order 125
Our photographer said the same thing.
