favors

these are the two items that our guest will receive. the chairs will be their place card holders, & the boxes will be full of jordan almonds.

i have been looking for another item to give out. (maybe an oil & vinegar set, or some other type of serve ware.) however FMIL & my mom said these two things are enough.

whats your opinion??

enough or give something else too???

i love both..but what is 1 to do with a chair card holder? i dont think most ppl will take it home.
i would, i just dont knwo if other would.

if ur looking for inexpensive favors Fox's gift shop in flushign is great. they wrap the favors and add jordan almonds to them and personalized ripped

I agree with Barb...what do you do with the chair once you bring it home?

The jordan almonds are a must so I would add something to that maybe another edible treat

Jordan almonds typically are used in conjunction with another type of favor (the old italian tradition of 5 jordan almonds in a tulle 'sac' to go with a type of stone serveware...) If you dont want to do a material item as a favor, make a donation and attach a card to the box of jordan almonds...

I know someone who collects these from each wedding. She has them spread out of an end table in the corner of her living room with all pictures stuck in them. I think ppl make use out of these.

i have seen them in person & you can stick a photo in them. which is why i really like the idea vs items that i have received as favors, they just collected dust & then got dumped in the trash.

I, personally, think it is enough. I am not too big on favors honestly. FH and I are doing a donation and something small along with it. But, what you have is very nice and I'd be happy to get that at a wedding.

ITA.

Donation here and something small cuz my mom said so lol.

i like this idea, but obviously do whatever makes you happy. I'd probably throw the chair out at home b/c I wouldn't want to leave it and hurt your feelings. sorry to be so harsh, but I'm sure it is expensive.

If perhaps you want to merge the chair idea, and the box idea, I am using these as my place cardholders. Then maybe you can do some kind of serve ware, if that's what you have your heart set on.

I love these! Where are they from?

in my opinion, i would do something else. the almonds to me arent favors. i went to a wedding where they were with the menu tucked into the napkin so some people ate them while at the wedding, i thought it was more for table decor than a favor.

and the chair, i agree with others, what are you supposed to do with it after? you mentioned to hold a photo but me personally, i wouldnt use that. i prefer frames. i would prob throw it out.

so if i was gonna do the chairs, i would still add another little something
