Favors

What's the average you guys are spending on favors? I don't know what's normal.

Re: Favors

$1 per favor

Re: Favors

I spent $5.85

I thought that was a good price...

I guess it depends on how many guests you are having. I set a budge ot $500 for favors.

Oh...that includes wrapping and boxes and all...

Re: Favors

I LOVE these handpainted glasses, but they're 6.50 each. Is that insane? UGH. I cant really find anything else I like!

I personally don't think so, Heather. If you like them, I say go for it. We couldn't agree on anything either. When we finally did, we went for it.

How many guests are you expecting? You'd do one per couple, right?

I dunno, I think I'd have to do a set of two per couple, no? Isn't it weird to give ONE glass? We're probably having about 150/160 ppl...

Ouch...yeah...that could get pricey. hmmmmm...any chance there is a discount for the large amount you would be ordering? (or is that price with the discount) or...maybe there is another place where you can find them cheaper? Do you have a pic? I really think you could get away with one per couple...It would be nicer to receive 2...but I don't think it's necessary.

Re: Favors

I heard a rumor that I MIGHT be able to get them for $6 each if I tried really hard, but thats not much of a savings. I have no idea where else to look. Here they are:

WOW...they are GORGEOUS!!!!!! I'll keep my eye out...

$6 is way better then $6.50...'you can do it'...

Re: Favors

Any other ideas for favors in the $2-3 range???

Re: Favors

I was thinking of candy apples with lotto tickets tied to them, but I just don't know. I feel like everything has been 'done' already...

Wow. They are QUITE lovely. But for me, favors are not high on the priority list, so I think that we are just going to do coffee mugs. Good luck.

ETA: I realize I didn't answer the question. I think they are $1.50 or something like that.

Re: Favors

about 8 bucks per family/couple.. since it's expensive, we figured we'll do that.. rather than give one to each person..

Re: Favors

We're trying for Caramel apples and getting them from bjs at 80cents a piece and with the wrapping it should be $1 per guest. If that doesnt work out we're having little dog salt and pepper shakes from Thailand and its $1 per person w/ wrapping
