Favor Ideas WITH POLL

I know, Im annoying...another favor question. Here are my choices:

Espresso set - which Im not crazy about b/c close friend did.

or

Mini Lucky Bamboo plant - I happen to <3 these and so does FH but he thinks we like strange things and no one else will like (and he thinks 1 per couple is not enough, I do not agree)

or

last (no pics)
Im thinking wine bottle stopper and stemware charms

Re: Favor Ideas WITH POLL

I am a full believer that the favor should reflect the two of you and if you both love the Lucky Bamboo plant, I think that's the one you should get. And I think one per couple is plenty.

My second choice would be the bottle stopper and stemware charm

Not too crazy about the Espresso set (sorry)

We were going to do the espresso set, but FH's family is not big on espresso, although we are and so is my family. I thought ppl on his side wouldn't like it.

The bamboo is cute and you guys really love it, so I'd say go for it. We got one once at a wedding about 5 years ago..it's still alive and got very big, we really liked it.

The wine charms and stopper is cute, but IMO overdone.

So, I'd go with the bamboo.

Thanks. I feel like the espresso set is really over done too now.

Re: Favor Ideas WITH POLL

My vote is for the bamboo...I actually wanted to do this myself but had so many international OOT guests I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to take it with them I think its a great idea and can stay in their homes to remind them of your day

Re: Favor Ideas WITH POLL

I wanted to do the bamboo plant - but thought it would be too much work for me (it's cheaper to make them yourself.)

Re: Favor Ideas WITH POLL

I'm probably the only one thinkg the bamboo is getting a little old, my mom has been harboring bamboo plants for over 10 years and I'm so sick of them.

I think anyone else would probably love the bamboo over the other things.
