What is everyone doing for favors, and how do you determine an appropriate amount to spend on them? Also, are you giving one to each individual guest?

FH and I met at a tailgate before a NY Islanders game so we are doing 'Game Pucks'. They will double as the escort cards, so it will be one per person (unless the person has a guest we don't know).We are also having frames for the photobooth pictures and I'm going to ask if I can have little chinese takeout containers for the Viennese hour.

We bought these adorable biodegradable flower pots that come with a scoop o dirt & a red heart sees packet. We bought tr whole set + clear box off of Etsy. We are doing 1 per couple bc we figured most couples only need one each haha. We are also doubling them as our escort cards!

Doing photo booth frames and doubling them as escort cards. We want to do something else, not sure what. Then you also get the dilema of either leaving on the table (I don't want it to look cluttered) or to give out.

Well, I knew from the start that we would be doing SOMETHING with a donation, since FH's mom passed away from Colon cancer when he was a teen. I decided to make scrolls and tie them with white and navy blue ribbon (colon cancer color) and place them on everyone's plate with one of the Livestrong bracelets in navy blue (I think i'm going to pick the Cancer Sucks one). My mom made a point (not that I agree with her), that people want to 'leave with something'...meaning a favor of some sort. I told her...more or less to shut up LOL. But, I am also having a cigar roller at the CH (with personalized matchbooks) and a photobooth. If you look in my album, I made magnetic frames for pepole to take as well.My mom can't say now that people won't be able to 'leave with something'.
Oh and I forgot the little OOT bags full of goodies!

We are doing handpainted gilded champagne flutes with a set of wine glass charms. We will have them at the table for toasting and then at the end of the evening, provide gold bags and tissue so people can get them home safely. This, and five gold jordan almonds in a gold bag.

At Jen372, my sister did this for favors, one per couple. She went to Lenox outlet (Riverhead) and bought 3 pack of small bud vases. Separated them, boxed them and then wrapped them. I think the 3 pack is about $15 and sometimes there are additional sales or coupons. Good luck.http://www.lenox.com/home-decor/vases/lenox/opal-innocence-carved-3-piece-vase-set-by-lenox?R=35110&kf=e1474
Don't be scared by online price, was at Lenox about 2 weeks ago and it was $15.

I am getting shell place card holders from the knot for all of the guests. They will hold place cards at the wedding, but they can take them home and put a photo in it.

You all have such great ideas! We're thinking of something hot chocolate related since the wedding is in January. Of course, Etsy has the best ideas!
