Re: Has anyone even thought of favors?
The only thing that I have come up that is inexspensive and something that I would like is at the reception I am going to put out something for each person saying that they will recieve their favor in x amount of weeks and then as soon as we get our video from Duet I am going to copy the portion that is the recap and burn it onto a dvd and mail that to each person. My fh came up with this and I really liked even if some other people weren't to hot for it....heres the post

Re: Has anyone even thought of favors?
thanks and it will be reasonlable...less that $3 per couple and since everyone seems to think that people want something to walk out with I figured we could do some little candy thinks from Jean M
ETA: the $3 will also include postage and envelopes...can't beat it

I think we're doing a donation in lieu of favors. I'd also like to do the votive placecard holders.

I was actually thinking about donations instead of favors. I like to be really involved with community, so I think that would be fitting. It's just which charity?

If I was going to spend any large amt of money on favors I would definately make a donation to a charity, but Im desparately trying to cut costs so I am making everything myself... anyway, if i were trying to pick a charity I would pick one that was close to my heart... for example, my dad passed away of colon cancer... so i would try to find a cancer charity... i also used to volunteer in a pediatric playroom of a hospital... so a childrens charity would also be meaningful...
hope that helps

We're getting married a couple of weeks before Christmas so we're thinking of giving out christmas ornaments as favors. Still looking for something reasonable. We don't have a lot of money to spend on favors.

we're getting married on a vineyard so we are having bottles of wine favors. (Smaller ones, not full sized) For about $6-8 each. (can't remember how much truly) one per couple. I'm toying around with either the place card pic frames or the bottle stopper. But, I really don't need anything else either.

Since my FH and I love choclate we are doing the Chocolate Hershey's Bar that say Here they are. Then there is a beautiful red box basket that is at my job...i work at a wholesale basket company. so im going to ask to use that and in the box have the chocolate which my MOH and I are doing then a picture of Emmanuel and I that we are going to do a few months before the wedding and then a scroll that is a thank you for them spending there time with us.
Then as a BIG FUN. i will be playing a game in the middle of the reception where each table gets a turn to answer a question about us and whoever gets the answer right from the table they will take the table centerpiece home. Good idea because i don't want them to go to waist plus what am i going to do with them when its over.

I am making my favors. They are going to double as a pic frame and table card setting. Attached will be 2 hershey kisses wrapped in tulle and a bow with our name on it.
I am also planning on doing a poem book.

Re: Has anyone even thought of favors?
I might do something like candles cause I want people to use the favor not just throw it away.![]()

That's what I'm doing -- they came out beautiful and they were inexpensive to make (I decorated 3x3 pillar candles with tulle, flowers, etc). About 2.50 each.

Since we are getting married in December we went with Lenox tree ornaments I got them after x-mass this year so they were a good price - also we ordered them on-line since we got so many there was no tax or shipping

Try Fortunoff, We gave ornaments for my engagement party and were able to find a reasonable deal with such a large selection from Fortunoff. You may have to wait a couple of monthes before they start putting Christmas stuff out again. Hope this helps!

Re: Has anyone even thought of favors?
I might try the Lenox outlet in riverhead but everyone gives those trinket things,,,I don;t want to give a favor just to give one. My MOH is getting married in July and they are giving away Jamesons Irish Whiskey with a recipe for Irish Coffee...I was thinking of giving bottles of wine
