I was having a really hard time with this but my cousin helped me decide FINALLY on our favors.

We're doing a donation to the American Diabetes Association. I like this idea cause half the people dont care about the favors anyway, so at least this way the money goes towards something good. FH father died of complications from diabetes, and my mom has it. It just feels right. And look at the cute scrolls......

I know coasters are hot right now, so I decided to pull out an old craft project of mine and I'm making mine, putting them in a box. FH loved them!

I think mine's pretty unique- giant 20 oz beer mugs screen printed with our monogram! Don't tell anyone but we got the mugs at Dollar Tree! Guests will also be getting little bags of peanuts/cracker jack to go with our Yankee theme!

Re: FAVOR ideas??? anything unusual? any ideas??

i would go with sometthing that matches your theme or colors or something that really represents you and FH in some way. Edible area always a great idea IMO. Sorry to say, I never use any favor anyone has had, other than oil and vinegar bottle that were italian looking. Loved that. That was a shower favor I think. Def consider theme and look for something rare...I cant stand all those favors you seem on the most popular huge wedding sites. theyre all the same!!!!

Re: FAVOR ideas??? anything unusual? any ideas??

We got married on St. Patrick's day and wanted to convey how lucky we felt so we did 4 white chocolate dipped fortune cookies with personalized fortunes, and a Lucky 7's lottery ticket. I attached a note from DH and I about how lucky we felt and wanted others to share in our luck.

People had a good time with them and it got people that were seated at the same table that didn't really know each other talking.

Hope that helps!

Re: FAVOR ideas??? anything unusual? any ideas??

we're hoping to have cookbooks printed. we dream about being caterers some day and anyone who knows us knows our love of food and our love of cooking for people, so a cookbook of our favorite recipes is perfect for us! it's gonna be a lot of work, but i still have time
