I'm most likely doing a boxed cupcake for each guest.

I have no idea yet. I do really like the cheese board/knife sets.....and I also like the photo coasters. I haven't put too much thought into it yet.

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

my sisters did non edible/donation favors. My oldest sister gave flavored olive oil bottles out. They were really cute because they were all in different shaped bottles and she poured them all herself so it was an assemble diy. My other sister gave out these measuring spoons that said love beyond measure and were in the shape of a heart. They were both really good favors because everyone used them...LOTS of people use olive oil and everyone can use another set of measuring spoons.

We're doing sandalwood fans...it'll be an outdoor ceremony in the middle of July, I'm sure they'll be a big hit

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

I'm doing (or better my photog doing) prints of photos of people at the wedding.
But now I'm thinking of doing something extra as well. Have no idea what yet

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

not sure what im doing yet, but i did hear of a cute idea (might be a pain though)... a girl asked all her guests to email/send her their fave recipe and then she compiled them all into a recipe book that she customized with a pic of them and their date etc and gave that as the favor

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

I originally was going to do something edible, but my italian family wants something tangible...So, I am probably going to get some nice italian stoneware thing, possibly a spoon rest or olive oil bottle...something people can actually get some kind of use out of (I know I would use a spoon rest of olive oil bottle, those things always come in handy...)

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

our favor will probably be olive oil & vinegar bottle sets. we both like the idea & everyone can use them.

our guest will also be taking home there place card holder & everyone will also receive a small box of jordan almonds.

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

no idea yet. I really want something people will use. But I also dont want to get something in a specific decor that might not match anyones homes.

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

i was going to do an olive oil dipping set but one of the other posters said a cookbook - that might be right up my alley!!! i never thought of that i could do like a cookbook of mine & FH's favorite dishes........ id still give something else like a spoon rest....... i hate decisions!!!!!!!!

Re: For those not doing edible/wine/donation favors

My sis did a small candy dish wit donations

My cousin did a set of ice cream bowls

I went to one wedding where the gave out coasters with the word 'Love' on them.

I've also see heart shaped cofee mugs

What I am going to do is have small bamboo hearts on the table as part of the centerpiece. Then each person gets to take one home.

I've also seen this done where the table centerpiece is made up of a bunch of small vases with flowers, and each person takes one home.
