Anyone still looking for cute and inexpensive favors???

I didnt post it before b/c I wanted it to be a suprise when I posted my review. I did 2 things that cost hardly anything and the guests honestly went CRAZY over them!

One was the personalized air fresheners that cost me $1.10 each ( pic below)

AND
I decided a month before the wedding that I HAD to do this as part of my favor for the guests. I hired a photographer off of craigslist for two hours. He went around taking pictures of each table early on in the reception when everyone was still sitting down, and in the end even a few couple shots. I had purchased these frames at a .99 cents store. He printed them on the spot and put them into the frames! As people were leaving they got to take it home with them!! ( it was one per couple) It actually cost me VERY little and again I got more compliments on that then the other things I spent a fortune on!

How did he print them on the spot... did he bring the equipment to do this, or did you provide him with stuff??

He had his own digital camera and I have a photo printer that I brought to my hall a few days before the wedding that they set up for him. I think he also brought his laptop so he could edit the pictures if needed. I provided the photo paper I got it from Target I think 100 sheets for $9.99
Craigslist.com its a website where you can look for jobs, find people for jobs, buy stuff, sell stuff etc. Just look on the right of the screen and make sure you click on NY
Its free and easy to use!

LOVe thos air fresheners...the only thing is, it's a $60 set up fee, and then is it a 200 minimum? No way will there be 200 cars! Then again, it's still only $260+ dollars..and that's not a lot in the grand scheme..I love them...Did you have SC put them in the cars? That is SO awesome

No actually the ones I got were a $30 set up fee and you can order as many or little as you need. I think we ordered 75 of them!
HTH

And yes sandcastle gave them to the valet attendents to put in the cars!
