I am getting married in 12 days and never ordered favors! Is there a store where I can go and just buy them there without ordering? Please help! Thank you!
ETA: I just got back from the Wedding Coach in Brooklyn. They are wonderful! They showed me which favors they can get quickly, and we ordered really pretty candle holders with candles. They are wrapping them with personalized ribbons and we can pick them up on Thursday! Thank you so much for all your suggestions!

We were going to do the photo coasters, and we never ordered. Now we are desperate, and will get anything that looks nice that we can walk out of a store with. We are supposed to bring them to the RH on Monday! I don't know how time got away from me like this!

I'm sure you can get coasters in on time. Pay for next day shipping

If you really need something in a pinch, we got our favors at Ikea. They are little tea-lights candles. Its really cheap and you can take it home that day and buy boxes or bags from someplace like Michael's to give them out.

Thank you! I think we will check out ikea! Next day shipping on the coasters is like $200, almost the same as the coasters!

Michaels sells photo coasters. I'd check them out for quick things you can slap together in 2-3 hours.

Or you can do a donation in lieu of favors....you can just buy enough frames for each table and put a note in there that says something like in lieu of favors, you have made a donation to XXXXX in their honor. Someone can take home the frame, too!
Or the other option is to make two or three different types of cookies and put them in a bag. You can even include a recipe with them....good luck!

Thank you! We were considering doing the donation, both FH and I have lost a parent -- but then we decided it was just too much, just calling too much attention. WE probably are doing donations anyway, but not as a favor.
Just found out that we can go to the wedding coach in brooklyn, and the lady there will help us find things we can get by thursday! Thank you for all your help!

Try bluerainbowdesign.com
I ordered mine last Tuesday and they came by the following Friday
Plus if you order more than a certain amount they give you a shipping discount.
Hope it helps!

wrapwithus.com has its store in sysosset. you can order and pick up at the store. if you just go to the store you might be able to buy it then and there but I would call and check that. look at the web site and see if you like anything. they so have a big selection at the store.

how about making a donation?
You can include little cards indicating you have done so...
I have a TON of pink ribbons from the Susan G. Komen Foundation if you need...
everyone at our reception wore the pink ribbons in honor of my MIL... it was very touching.
