favors...I'm talkin' ORIGINAL!!!!!

How about picture frames? Everyone can always use a picture frame. I bought these really nice 5x7 frames, they were on sale for like $8 each... I only had 60 guests, so i just bought about 30 frames (one for each couple, etc). so it was reasonably priced. i had my cousin wrap them up really nicely with white wrapping paper, etc., and a ribbon with our names and the date of the wedding. i think it was really nice.

Hi Liz,

I hate to say it, but there are just no original favors anymore. I hate favors, and have more glass picture frames than I care to mention. My fiancee and I are planning a May wedding with a daisy theme. We were hoping to have a small aluminum bucket (This ties in with our centerpieces which are big aluminum ice buckets) with all the fixins to grow your own daisy plant. We're hoping we can get the little planters wholesale from our florist and that this idea won't run too much money). We figure if you get an assembly line going (this is what bridesmaids are for) that the put-together time will be fast.

Just an idea. My mom says people who go to a wedding like to take something home. I'm thinking more useful items are better.

I'm not sure if I heard this here or not, but I think we are going to wrap Hershey's hugs and kisses in tulle and we will either write on or have a ribbon printed with, "Hugs and Kisses from Brenda and Shawn" This is a really inexpensive favor, and practical too. I like the candy bar idea, but a lot of people are doing it now, and I also wanted something original. I think people will think this is cute. If you don't like the tulle, you can always wrap the chocolates in something else or put them in little boxes.
