anyone not doing favor

I think I am going to do them because I can't find one that I really like. I really HATE this 172 days and I still can't make up my mind

Re: anyone not doing favor

Im doing a Donation.... what about doing something like that to a cause that you and/ or your FH feel strongly about?
or in memory of someone you lost to it?

and then you could do a bookmark or scroll... and i think they look so elegant at the place settings. At least its something that People will benefit from

Re: anyone not doing favor

I think donations are great as well!! I think we are donating to the Breast Cancer society as both my grandmothers are breast cancer survivors. A little close to the heart.....

Donations are always a nice thing to do... but do what you feel is right.

Re: anyone not doing favor

We're not planning on doing favors. We'll do a donation in memory of my father to the cancer society.

We haven't decided but I might make decorative confetti (jordan almond) holders to put on the plates...only if we can make them for cheap.

Re: anyone not doing favor

We are not really doing a formal favor...but we will be putting our placecards in the placecard frames, and we will also be having a little goody bag for guests as they leave...it will contain Krispy Kremes and the Perfect Blend coffee pack with our names on it (donuts and coffee!!

)

Same here! It was such a relief making that decision...we know it'll be money well spent!

Re: anyone not doing favor

We're making a donation to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. Also, my company will match what we donate so it's double what we're able to give.

Re: anyone not doing favor

We were orginally donating to Catholic Big Brothers but due to a long story that will not be happening. Now we are doing a donation to the relief effort in Asia. People will be forgetting the needs due to the Tsnami by then.
We are also giving each guest a lottery ticket on a card that says 'We hit the Jackpot when we met, hopefully you will too!' Hopefully I can make the cards myself to keep the costs down. I was going to do one per couple but then I saw potential problems with this.
