Cds for Wedding Favors

Sorry I cant stop asking you all questions!

Do you think that CDs for favors are cheesy or not classy?

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

I dont think it is a question of cheesy vs. NOT cheesy but truth be told, every time I have received a CD favor, I played it once and never again. It would be a pity to waste time to burn CDs and make labels for something that people may not play over and over again.

I have gotten that as a favor 2 times-
both were cool-the bride and groom chose songs that meant something to them-I liked it alot~

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

I think it's a nice idea

JMO but, I have gotten plenty of the recently also. I also only listened once and it was just the first few seconds of every song. I just personally feel that at this point, if people want that kind of CD it is so easy to burn it themselves that they will just do that. Sorry for any girls that are doing CDs. I do not mean to offend anyone.

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

depends on the music

it's cheesy if it is the same old wedding music that I always here, but it's great if the songs are unique and special to the bride and groom

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

i don't think they are cheesy - but i do think they are not appropriate for a traditional wedding. I like them better at showers, engagement parties, etc.

just my opinion though....

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

I thought about giving out CDs for favors, but then I was concerned about some of the older guests not even having CD players to listen to them!!!

I might just get them for my BP as part of their gifts. Songs we're having played at the ceremony and reception.

I'm doing CDs as wedding favors. As far as I'm concern I think its a great idea! I'm burning renaissance music for my medieval themed wedding. I truely believe that this is something my guest will keep for as long as the CD will hold up. So I say, go for it!

A lot of elderly are now being given CD players and DVD players by their children and grandchildren. If they don't make a few cassets.

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

i have to agree with other posters...the cd's i received as favors were only listened to once....

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

My sister did this, and everyone LOVED it. I listened to it once. if the music isn't my taste, it isn't my taste...

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

I wouldn't want one. That is just my opinion. But most people do like them.

Re: Cds for Wedding Favors

I also would not want one unless I knew I would like the music-- But if that is what you want to do I say go for it :):)

Things that are useful such as wine stoppers, coffee scoops etc. I will be doing donations...I know not useful for my guests but useful for someone else.
