I've ordered about 10 samples & Im going crazy - everything is so sh|tty!
The two items I narrowed it down to is the mikasa votive bc you can use it as anything or the LOVE coaster - but im thinking the LOVE is kind of tacky

Well Ladies help me out - I dont have much time

Thanks!

PS: I feel like all favors are crap to begin with

I went to wrapwithus on Robbins Lane. They had a lot of nice stuff in there. How about wine?

Re: Need your help with favors!

oyyyyyyy i just wrote an entire response and my internet went down!!!! let me try it again:

I put Kosta Boda votives on the tables..one per place setting.... That was my 1st mistake! FH saw people walking out with 2 of them (extremely rude) and then at the end of the shower my mom, MOH and few friends were left with none! FH will not tell me who he saw b/c he doesn't want me to get upset!

I didn't want to order too many extra b/c they were way too much $$$$ ....so I had 72 people and ordered 75!!! I guess I should have ordered 80, but my original guest list was 70, so I only got 5 extra.

Moral of the story, i do not recommend placing nice votives on the tables...I would personally give my guest one per person!

The votive is nice, but i think a lot of people already have many of them around the house. I would prefer chocolate.

My vote went for chocolate. I always get favor like candles, etc. and I usually end up giving them away or they end up thrown out after a reasonable time.

Im an '10 bride crashing...I just received my favors for my eparty...and I have to say that I love them...We ordered measuring spoons in the shape of hearts with really cute sayings on them like 'A heap of Love' and 'A Dash of Kindness' I thought they were going to be cheap looking, but they are beautiful, and are made of a nice metal (its pretty heavy) for under $2.00 a favor, you could get 2 different kinds of favors and look like you spent a lot of money...fm me if you want to see a pic or get the website!!
