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

Re: Favors

Mine are $6.75 and we're doing one per couple...the $6.75 also includes wrapping and personalized ribbons and stuff though...

ETA: can;t post pics from home...they're in my album...there's more from myitalianweddingfavors.com

We're doing 6 diff patterns in total. They're all handpainted from italy. We got them from The Wedding Coach in Brooklyn and they had a WHOLE bunch of other stuff! Good luck!

Re: Favors

We didn't budget a lot for favors either and when we found the ones we liked we lowered our flower budget and invitation budget.

We didn't want to do the same old favors either Heather..

Re: Favors

I spent $6.50--that is per couple. A little out of budget--but we love what we got

We went to look at these--and they are so cute. There is a shop in Williston Park called La Favorita that you can look at all different styles

Re: Favors

Heather, do you know anyone crafty who could do it for you? I was thinking of hand painting wine glasses myself as the favor before I found the chip and dip bowl I'm doing. My thought was to get wine glasses from ikea and then practice painting on an old mirror.....do you think this is something you could learn how to do? I'd have to see how I am, but maybe come summer time I could help you out.....

Those are GORGEOUS in person too!!! My MOH did espresso sets from there. GO THERE AND NEGOTIATE!!! I think she paid about $4.50 for everything including wrapping and personaized ribbon!!!

my favors are like $8 on that site...i am actually paying about $5.50 per favor and $1.25 to wrap it....

Rosella paid $3.50 per favor and $1.00 to wrap. She also had hand made doilies on top with the confetti in them...they just looked beautiful...hang on let me get a pic..

HERE YA GO!-from their wedding

I say go for it, but its a HUGE undertaking.....if you can do it I think it would be a WONDERFUL touch

Re: Favors

the glasses are really pretty but that sounds a little expensive to me...i guess its however much you think you can afford...to me favors in general are a waste of money bc its like no matter what you pick people just throw them out...but you like def have to do one...sooo frustrating! lol

I'm not painting these! Is that what it sounded like? I was going to handpaint wine glasses until I found these....I'd be nuts to paint these!
