All of this wedding planning has been wonderful for me, except ONE thing. FAVORS

I found a favor that I LOVED, but of course it's discontinued and I cannot get enough of them.

So please........SHOW ME YOUR FAVORS!

Re: Ok. I need help.

We are not doing favors, I am donating the $ to brain cancer foundation. If I were than I would do something edible....like wine., chocolates, cookies. I think that everyone gets TONS of random candles, frames, etc. My friends little sister gave out decorate vinger & oil bottles, I hear they were a big help.

HTH, good luck!

Re: Ok. I need help.

I like edible favors-- less chance of them going in the trash. I'm probably doing cupcakes

Re: Ok. I need help.

Thanks girls. Sorry I'm such a PITA. I don't want to do edible favors because we're having a VH and I'm getting boxes for people to take pastries and cookies home.

I've toyed with the idea of a donation, but FH and I don't really have any charities that are close to our hearts

Guess I'm going to have to keep looking.

Re: Ok. I need help.

we are getting a photo booth and then possibly handing out frames as the combo favor.. but we shall see how much the frames costs!

Also i thought these would be cute since they are edibe! but they are kinda pricey

ummmm....are you going to have a photo booth? For what you could spend on favors, you could get one OR set up a DYI photo booth, get some cute costumes (like a wig, hats, clown noses, etc) and the pictures can be their favors.

What was the favor you were originally thinking of? Just so we can get an idea of what you might like!

This was the original thing I fell in love with. It's a cheeseboard and knife set:

They discontinued this one and replaced it with one with a calla lily on it....there are NO calla lilies in my wedding at all, so it really doesn't 'go.' They also have one with a wine motif, but I'm not head over heels with it.

Oh wow. Those are really nice. What a cute little set. What about the regular coasters or maybe the coasters with a space for a photo in it?

Ooh! Or these bride and groom corkscrew and wine stoppers. I love these!
