Favor Ideas and Help!!!

Originally FH and I were going to do individually hand painted champange glasses done by an artist friend of his parents in the Pocanos.. the cost would have been about $4-$5 per favor.

That recently fell through- so we need a plan B.. FH doesn't want to do donations (he thinks it's cheesy and his folks don't like it either) but I'm looking for more ideas to show him... any help would be appreciated!

Also if it helps my colors are lavender, pink, and cream.

We finally decided that we are going to do wine glasses with candy in them.

What about wine bottles?




I was thinking about it (to do one wine bottle per couple if we were doing the larger bottles... maybe with the personalized labels.

Where can I order stuff like that though? I don't want it to be too much of a project that it would take us hours to put together and such.

FH is not big on candy favors either... so that rules out any kind of edible favor..

I know he's being so dang picky atm, I'm more for being practical and original..lol

We are going to do wine bottles as well. Right now Im looking for moderately priced bottles that don't taste cheap
Look at trader joes - they have charles swan wine for $2. As long as it tastes good thats what we are going to go with. One problem- they now only sell wine in their Union Square store.

Yeah, the only NY location that carries wine is the one in Union Square and that wine is $3. There is a location in NJ that sells it.

Are you near Valley Stream? There is a liquor store that we go to that has bottles of good wine for $3.

I'm in Babylon but Valley Stream is closer than Union Square! What is the name of the store and the wine?

I've read in the past that you can get bottles of Winter White by Pindar for 3 dollars from a store called 'bottles and cases.'
You can have diana from Pippy's sweets make labels Very good price and they came out great.

I live in Far Rockaway and FH knows LI really well (he's from Malverne) so yes Valley Stream is not far for us to travel.

It's called Cappy's and it's on Merrick Road. It's right across the street from the NEFCU.

I really like the wine bottle idea- I think getting the bottles will be easy - where do people get the labels- and do they just go right over the wine bottle label?
