QOTD-12/1/12

Happy December!!

So i have been trying to figure out what to do for our favors.. so todays question is:

what are you doing for favors? How much are you spending on them?


we are thinking of doing truffles.. or i was thinking of getting personalized m&ms and putting them in a nice bag.. i really don't know what to do and do not want to spend a lot.

We aren't sure exactly what we are doing for favors...we were thinking a small set of espresso cups since we both love coffe/espresso drinks

I've seen sets online in sets of 2, 4, 4 with espresso kettle and more...

We are trying to keep favors under $4 a piece...believe it or not I have seen some nice ones.

So undecided about favors.

We are doing a photo booth, so we are having the frames and using them as place cards.

FH thinks we need something else, I would love to do wine (we got engaged at a winery) or lottery tickets with a penny (stole this idea from another LI bride) with a cute saying of 'Lucky in Love'.

I am thinking of doing wine with personalized labels. I have seen the small wine bottles for $1.99 each or go to Trader Joe's and get the bigger bottles of their 3 buck chuck. If I did the small bottles I would get one per person and I would need about 200 bottles. The bigger bottles would be per family and I would need about 125 bottles. I don't know if trader joe's would give me a discount but I'm sure the local liquor store where I saw the smaller bottles might. I don't want to spend too much so I'm going to do what works best for me.

Before I thought about doing something edible and I wanted to do cupcakes. I have a sample picture in my album wedding things.

We're doing photobooths frames. They don't cost much in bulk so I'm not concerned. Possibly a donation also.

I also want to do wine but FH inst too into it. He thinks its boring but I love it! Im having a hard time with it. I also don't want to spend TOO much since I have a budget. I originally also wanted to do something edible, which inst out of the question, but IDK about it anymore. I don't to give something that my guests will throw into a drawer or china cabinet. I want to give something they will actually USE! SO any suggestions are welcome! =)

Def looking at the trader joes full bottles with a personalized label in a gold wine bag with a gift tag tag has our wedding logo on it. It's really the only thing that we are pretty sure most of our guests will like. Wish we could get trader joes to deliver!!

Would you mind FMing me a quote for this? I was considering it and they are one of the house vendors for my hall. When we went to look there for the first time, they gave us a box as a gift and they were sooo yummy! TY!

Honestly, your best bet is to contact Afresh Approach directly. They are very reasonable and accommodating! Good luck!

We are going to donate money to breast cancer research. I was going to give out picture frames but I decided to change my mind.

I wil put a frame on each table With the donation info.

I'd like to do small bottles of wine, but not sure how that would fit into the budget. We might end up doing pizza cutters, since FH is a pizza man.
