favors.....

i wanted to start browsing for favors..just to get some ideas....my 2 questions are:
what is the best favor you ever got
and
what do you think is the most useful favor out there?
i don't want to give out those small picture frames or candy---i want to give out something useful and maybe different.....all ideas are welcome and i know i will get a lot of great ideas from you girls!:):):)

Re: favors.....

My favors were CDs- I burned them on the computer myself, and scanned our picture onto them. They included our processioal and recessional songs, wedding song, cake song, and other songs we chose and had played at our wedding.

Re: favors.....

I think the CD's are a good idea. I didn't go with them bc they had just become popular and it seemed that's what everybody was doing. I made magnets -like for the refridgerator. I figured at least they will go on the fridge and get looked at and maybe hold up a note every once in a while and won't sit in the back of a drawer somewhere!

I got a Mikasa candy bowl. I wasnt sure what I wanted as a favor so when I went to get them, I asked the lady what was popular. She said that mini ice buckets and candles are also very popular. Hope this helps.

Re: favors.....

I just received a beautiful gel candle as a favor. I thought that was nice. I've also received Mikasa candy dishes, and I liked that too.

Re: favors.....

Since my wedding is a block away from the Chrysler Building, I decided on these as my favors.



Not completely wacky but still a little different and a nice souveneir (IMO) of the wedding without being a ton of work or $$$.

I have always liked the CD favor even though its becoming very common. I think its very personal and fitting for a wedding.

Re: favors.....

We are giving out wine glasses. They are filled with pink Lindt Truffles. I think people will definatley use them after the wedding.

I once got an ice cream scooper! I thought that was a great idea. It was silver with a gold trim. Very practical i think! I also have seen tiny salt and pepper shackers that say 'made for each other.' That is cute too! My firend is getting married in April and giving out pear candles that say 'A perfect pear.' They are wrapped nicely. I am making a donation as my favor.

Re: favors.....

I am having an x-mas time wedding and couldn't decide between tree seedlings or a unique ornament, but then I found the most perfect thing...a combination of the two. It is an ornament shaped like a dove made of handmade paper with pine tree seeds embedded in it. After the holidays the ornament can be planted and will produce Austrian Pine trees. It is 100% recyled and biodegradable. Each ornament comes with a card that can be personalized and has planting directions.
