Help!!!!Need ideas on favors

I'd like to know what you girls are doing for favors. I'd be willing to spend some time doing them myself or buying them done. I've collected so many candles from previous weddings so I wouldn't want to do that. Is there something unusual that anyone of you are doing. I'd like some ideas. Thanks.

Help!!!!Need ideas on favors

We are doing an Italian theme and are giving away little Italian Chocolates. But, as a suggestion: I've seen the cds with the bride and grooms favorite songs - and have heard many positive things about it.

Favors

We are making a donation and attaching a note about it to a little organza bag with chocolates. CD's are becoming popular and lots of people seem to really like them!

I have a rose/garden theme and we are doing ...

mikasa bowls with pink roses around the bowl. In the bowl, we bought handmade strawberry rose potpourri with a medium size heart on top that says our name and date - it is so cute. The idea is that you put the potpourri in the bowl with the heart on top - the heart could even be used as a christmas ornament - hanged by the ribbon. The bowls we got at a great price, but the hearts and potpourri were a lot more than we wanted to spend, but I fell with the idea and wanted them. Good LUck!

SilverPlated coasters...

After visiting several friends houses, we noticed no one had coasters and if they did they were old. Everybody needs a coaster! Look at www.Wrapwithus.com for some ideas. Good luck! :)

Help!!!!Need ideas on favors

I'm having a winter theme for my December wedding, so we will be doing mugs with hot cocoa and hershey kisses. I think I may have found an online vendor who will customize the mugs (although I don't want our names on them) for under $2.00...good luck!

favor idea

I don't consider myself 'crafty' at all, but I wanted my favors to be something I made, and they wound up turning out great! I made magnets (everybody uses magnets!) I found ceramic tiles (2 X 2 octagon shaped) in home depot 25 for 3 bucks!! Then I ordered a personalized stamper (25$) with the words to our song, and stamped each one with those words. They I stenciled in little hearts, flowers or whatever, or some of them I 'sponge' painted. We wrote our names and date across the bottom, sprayed them with laquer, and glued on a magnet. each one is a different design and different color. I had so much fun I'm thinking of starting a little side business making them. and they look great just wrapped in tulle!

2003wedding...

My friend sent me this website - I asked the company about the graphics part, and I'm sooo aggrevated, cause I can't find their response in my saved emails!! I'm going to have to email them again. My friend is a graphic designer...basically she is going to design the graphic part (I want something basic - like a snowman/woman bride and groom for our winter theme), and I think if you only use one color, the design is free (although you have to provide the design - they don't give you anything to choose from)...Hope I haven't confused you! Best of luck!! http://www.eventfulgifts.com/congratulations_gifts.html#anchor4293572052
