In Need Of Favor Ideas

Help!! We are trying to decide what favors we want to give our guests, but nothing out there really 'says anything to us'.

There is no theme to the wedding (although there is a very slight under-current of Cinderella).

Does anybody have a 'unique' (or at least not so run-of-the-mill) favor idea

PS: I'm not afraid of arts & crafts

How about personalized M&Ms? I'm wrapping them in tulle (in our colors)and putting them in a mini cinderella slipper. Then putting them in a box with a bow. We have a sorta cinderella theme as well.

You can customize the colors and even writing for the M&Ms.

Here's the site:

Re: In Need Of Favor Ideas

Im ordering my favors from a lady in India, Riniko (LIW bride) ordered a ton of stuff from her and so far has been happy, I should be getting my shipment in a week.

Im ordering organza pouches and beaded mirrors. I know guys probably wont care for them, but I figured guys dont really care for the favors regardless. The prices (even with the shipping) were very reasonable.

Heres a pic of my pouch and mirror.

We did a donation to the Make A Wish Foundation. A lot of people had never heard of doing a donation and all thought it was a wonderful idea.

Re: In Need Of Favor Ideas

I am making candles to go along with my theme... a set of pear shaped candles.

That might be something to think about.

Re: In Need Of Favor Ideas

We did the CDs. I think that is a very good way to personalize and capture the wedding plus it is very inexpensive. I'm sure whatever you decide will be perfect.

Thank you so much ladies!

I showed the M&Ms to my FH and he really, really liked them. We even saw what they would look like in our colors and message.

You guys rock
