Help...do you think guests will realize this is the favor....

Here is a pic of the frames that I bought to use as favors. My plan was to use them as the place card holders as well. When guests would enter into the reception they would find the frame with their name and table and take the frame with them. I have gotten feedback from a few people saying that if I don't do something to decorate the frame (i.e bows or ribbons) then people will not know to take them. What do you guys think? Should I package the frames and put them on the tables as 'favors' and just write out regular place cards? Thanks for your help!

Thanks girls. I think the concensus is pretty positive....most people will know. I appreciate the feedback!

Maybe you could put the placecard info into the frame, then, wrap the frame in either a sheer tulle or cellophane bag and tie a ribbon around the top with your name and date. Just a suggestion that might help the guests realize they were favors as well. And they will still be able to see where they are sitting theough the sheer wrap.

you could always have the DJ make an announcement at the end

I second that...just have the DJ remind them to take it at the end of the night...but i think i would know

Can you add the ribbon? I think there should be a way to do it. Also the DJ will announce it if you tell him.

I have been to a few weddings where people did not know, but the B&G did not make it a point to tell them

I just went today with my friend to Jack's and we bought the same frames the outfits and the wine glasses. they were like .99 each. Your guests will know. or if u like you can add a ribbon to it.

I know we are worried about the same thing, I was thinking of buying favor tags to attach to them, but I can't figure how to not make that look silly..
