Favors
FI and I can not for the life of us decied on wedding favor's. I want something edible or drinkable but we will be having alot of other options besides cake, FI wants glasses ex:wine or shots with our names and wedding date on them however after asking around not alot of ppl seem to have liked them at other weddings. So I'm wondering are there any other options that would be favors ppl would like and are there any brides not doing favors?
Once in awhile,right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.

Re: Favors
Personally, as a guest at a wedding I am never super excited about anything that is personalized with the names and date of the wedding if it is something that I am able to keep such as a glass. I know that it is supposed to be memorabilia from the wedding, but in a practical sense I will probably not use it much if it has someone elses names on it. Sorry I know this is very popular and I don't mean to offend, this is just my opinion...I am probably not the norm on this one.

I feel the same way...I got a votive candle and a glass candle holder that had the couple's monogram, names, and wedding date on it...I'm burning the candle now, but plan on tossing the glass candle holder once the candle's done.
I honestly don't even take the favors I receive home most of the time. I really don't want to be the bride who spends the money only to look around at the end of the night and notice that nobody cared enough to take those home.
I am dying to do a candy buffet - and we had planned to do one through our venue to make the 2,500 minimum - but our guest list grew - so I don't think we'll need to struggle to make that anymore..so....who knows.
[QUOTE]I think that candy or something edible at the table is always a hit. We aren't actually doing food. We're using photo coasters as place cards and then guests will be able to take them home. I may still do something else, but I haven't decided yet. <strong>Personally, as a guest at a wedding I am never super excited about anything that is personalized with the names and date of the wedding if it is something that I am able to keep such as a glass.

I am totally with you on this one as well. Nobody wants a glass with someone else's initials and wedding date on it.
You can never go wrong with something edible.
Since everyone's already mentioned edible I'm not going to repeat it lol. But if FI is still going for non edible favors, definitely go with something not personalized. Maybe a little tag with the name and date instead, that way it can be taken off later and the guest can enjoy their favor.
