I was going to do these fabulous pies for favors from Diane's Bakery. I was going to do strawberry rhubarb, triple berry, and pecan pie. Now I am second guessing it.

Does anyone else have any other good ideas for food-related favors? I am willing to spend up to $10 per couple if it is the right favor.

Wow! I never expected this overwhelming support for the pies!! I am not really sure why I am second guessing it. They told me that I needed 300 yards of ribbon for the boxes!! I had bought personalized ribbon from Martha Stewart a while back, but only got 60 yards!!! It would cost $300 in ribbon which is insane and it is too late anyway to get it. Maybe I will get stickers instead.

Overall, the pies came out to be $1300. I kept thinking maybe there is something else I could get for the same price. That's a lot of pie!

But I think based on your responses, I am going to stick with the pie and just forget about the ribbon. I really appreciate the responses. Pie it is!

I had ordered stickers from myweddinglabels.com from my favors and I think they would look really cute on pie boxes. They are personalized.

I am so glad you are sticking with the pies. It is alot of money for pies, but Diane's are so good your guests will love them and they are very unique. I think the stickers would be so cute to seal the boxes. Get a pretty background and put and your names on it. That's all you need!! Yeah!!
