I am stuck on wedding favors! I don't want to give my guests something they are going to throw away. Any ideas?
I am thinking about giving them a heart cookie cutter and a dry mix of ingredients for cookies (my fiance is a chef) with a cookie recipe. Is this corny?
TIA!

I agree with not wanting to get something that people are just going to throw away. That's why I am doing a donation to a chairty instead of favors. At least something useful will be done with the money!

Re: Favors
Doing something edible is always good. People who are drunk and who have just been dancing for hours will always like chocolates or cookies later on in the night. Plus, it's rare that that stuff will ever go to waste.
I don't think I would ever do a donation, for two reasons. First, there will be a subset of guests who will think you are just skimping them on a cool wedding favor. Second, there a will be another subset of guests who will think that you are being a little snotty by broadcasting a donation to everyone.
Perhaps you could take your favor budget and put a part of it towards a donation and use the rest for favors? This way you are still making a donation, without making it known to everyone.

We didn't want to do something worthless either....so what we are doing..we got cute jars, having my MOH paint something autumnish on them, and filling them with lindt truffles. The only thing we are personalizing are the ribbons. So the jars can be re-used as a candy jar

I LOVE that idea, I wanted to do that but the only ones I found were super expensive! We already got our favors :( I think i'll do these and give them out at the rehearsal dinner. Thanks for the info

Ok we're doing donations and I definitely don't think people are going to think we're skimping on favors. We're also giving them an edible favor. I don't see how it's snotty either - if the organization is important to us, I would want people to know what that is and make people more aware of the organization that is important to us. JMO.
