Looking for everyone's opinion!!
The favours for our Country wedding are Mason Jar Mugs with popcorn kernels (to carry on the theme of our Late night popcorn bar) and some home made chocolates.
My question: should we etch the Mason Jars? I was thinking of using our wedding date and initials or maybe a cheese quite like "Fall in Love" (September Wedding)
Do you think it's a good idea? Or do you think people won't care or think they're tacky? I've done some glass etching before and know how time consuming it is... Would it be worth it to etch 120+ jars?
Another idea I had, rather than etching the jars, would be paint/stamp it onto the burlap 'lids' we are doing. That way it would be discardable but keep everything together on the inside...
Thanks for your help!!
Re: Favour Momentos - yay or nay?
No.
Let's say etching is $2/jar. Multiply that by your guest list count. You could probably do a couple's massage or something else that's fun on your honeymoon. Plus people can easily reuse a neutral jar vs. a jar personalized with your info.
Mason Jar Mugs have been purchased already so we're not changing that (and with respect to everyone's opinions, I wouldn't even if we could, they were the central part of the vision!) so I'll probably go with just plane burlap 'lids' and maybe a little thank you tag. The more I thought about etching and wanted to do it, the more I realized it was probably a bad idea.
I think mason jars are cool, but I don't keep them myself. Some of my friends can and one friend uses mason jars for storing soup. So I would give the jar to one of them.
