For those that did cry packs? How did that work out?

I sort of like the idea of the cry pack, but I don't know if people would use it or find it cheesy. Did anyone get feedback about this from their wedding? Was it worth doing it?

I got mine from Laura at LA Productions and they were beautiful!!!

People were quite impressed by seeing them, but I do have A LOT leftover!

I have a lot left over also! But the people who used them all said how unique and what a good idea they were.

I have alot left over too but all my guests at the church loved the idea and most of them took them to save and not use.

That's SO something my mother in law would do! A very sentimental woman. DIdn't wnat to send back her rsvp card, because she wanted to keep all teh parts of the invite.

Wel, at least they were appreciated.

Tourist, I like you MIL.

Hmmn, so how many crypacks did ya'll make. For example, did you make one for every guest? I'm thinking if I do this, maybe I'll just make 50 or so and just have them hand them out to the females (is that being sexist)? Oh, I'm planning a wedding for 175 people.

I had them and had some left over - BUT everyone loved the idea - I would only make about 75 for 175 people....

I loved mine! And I had some left over but the guests took a lot. My tissues had lavender seeds in the packet so they smelled good . I'm so glad I got them. I bet I could've made them myself, but they weren't that expensive and I just didn't have the time.

I made 100, I had about 215 at the wedding and since the ceremony was at the hall most guests attended the ceremony. I have like 30 left over.

I didnt do them b/c I thought people might think it presumptious but Im sorry I didn't b/c I ended crying (shock) and a lot of other people did too.

So go for them..they are really cute.

Can someone post a pic or explain what's in them? I don't know exactly what they are.

Sorry for posting on this side before my time! :)

Thanks...

I have a bunch leftover, but they went over really well. I made them myself, so it's not like I wasted money, the tissues will come in handy with cold season coming up! lol!

I made about 75-80 of them. We had 170 guests. None of them were left. We had the ceremony at the hall. They were out the whole time. People who hadn't taken them went over and took them as the day wore on. (Luckily I saved a sample for myself)
