As a wedding guest, what would you prefer to receive?

We are set to do the cd's as favors, but I was talking with a friend and started talking about favors. I don't know, I started re-thinking our favor.

I donate to St. Judes every year and I was just thinking this $$ I was going to use on the cds could go to a better cause.

Re: As a wedding guest, what would you prefer to receive?

I would do the donation.. i love st. judes, and I think it's very thoughtful and your guests will think it's a very thoughtful thing to do as well.

Re: As a wedding guest, what would you prefer to receive?

I am doing a donation and a box of candy.

I like the idea of donations and I would do the donation with something else small, whether it be the CD or candy or anything else you can think of.

I voted both... it is great to donate money but still give the guests something to take home to remember your celebration by...

Re: As a wedding guest, what would you prefer to receive?

I voted the cd & the donation. I would definetly stay away from the wine stopper. The last 2 weddings & bridal shower I went to had wine stoppers as the favor

What am I going to do with all these stoppers?And I already had a bunch of them to begin with!

ETA: The one I got from the shower was great because it was a pourer (whichavoids dripping) & a stopper in 1. That was very useful!

Definetly the donation with a small token gift. I went to FI's cousin wedding in May and she printed up scrolls to explain the donation along with tiny wine glass candles. It was cute and meaningful.

I personally feel the donation is the most unselfish thing you could do, it's for a good cause

Re: As a wedding guest, what would you prefer to receive?

We already got the stuff to make CDs and it really is not too expensive!! If you could handle it, I think the CD and a donation would be awesome!

Re: As a wedding guest, what would you prefer to receive?

I agree the CD's are not expensive but I like the donation idea..I choose not to do it, but I think that in the end it's something I would not " keep in a closet somewhere" ya know?? It's worth every penny so to speak..
