Hi Everyone! This is my 2nd wedding and my FI's first. Lots of decisions and some I'm struggling with partly because I want simple but his family is really large and wants the whole enchilada! Anyhow, I digress, I've been racking my brain about favors that would be fun with our venue. I'm thinking maybe wine glass charms. I could make them with zoological charms and other beads coordinated with our wedding colors. Their super simple and I have a ton of time between sitting on the bleachers at the ice rink or wrestling tournaments I could produce wine charms instead of reading or surfing my phone! A box of candy just seems so boring. I'm committed to the big wedding but I would still like it to feel somewhat intimate and hand made favors seem appropriate. What do you think?
Re: Favor idea for a wedding reception at the zoo
And OP, a box of candy may seem boring to you, but as a guest I don't care about boring vs. exciting - I care about yummy and useful. And I always have a use for food. I have no use for a wine charm. If I even took it off the table and brought it home with me, it would sit in a drawer until I finally cleaned out the drawer and threw it in the trash. There's a reason why so many favors are edible - because people like eating and hate cluttering trinkets.
I may be dating myself, but I remember loving these as a kid, and would love one as a favor!
