I wish I could help you! I decided to make a donation and bookmarks - I just posted below.

I had the same problem - everything I liked was over budget, everything I could afford was going to probably wind up in the trash.

So, i figured bookmarks are always something I lose, so it might come in handy for some, and that almost everyone we know has had or known somebody with cancer, so we're going to make a donation instead of spending the money on a candle

I just did wine stoppers, I got them off of E-bay for $1.50 each. They came boxed with a ribbon already.

i found in jeanmessentials.com really cute 8' tall champagne flutes. I engraved our names and wedding date w/ a heart (included in price of glass). I think it was $3.95/glass and then 20% off. they had other cute stuff too, check 'em out :)

Re: Favor ideas PLEASE!

I would check out Wrapwithus. They have a large assortment with a variety of prices. Most of it is the usual, but maybe it'll help you come up with an idea.

Re: Favor ideas PLEASE!

Do you and FH have any specific hobbies or interests that could be used in your favors?

Like. . .

You're into coffee or tea - give an assortment of loose teas, or a flavored coffee.

You're a music lover - personalized cd's.

I always like food favors - black and white cookies, candies, etc.

I'm using moroccan lanterns from leavingfootsteps.com. This lady is so great. She totally worked with me. I ordered 12 candlesticks(for CP's) and 70 lanterns for $355. They are about 4 bucks each but they are beautiful. They will be used lit for the wedding and then each couple can take one home.

I bought these coffee scoops for $1.50 each, wrapped them with tulle, added the candy and ribbon. We will also have 2-3 bags of Starbucks on each table as additional give-aways.
