Thinking of doing personalized pens also as a favor.

Thinking of personalized pens also as an extra favor. What do you think of that idea? Its something everyone can use.

I think it would take away from whatever the other favor is. It seems cheap/cheesy to me. (sorry, JMO).

Really? I thought it was cute. We have other favors but I thought it would be a nice something extra. Hmmm?

While everyone can use this, it may not be the most creative favor - it depends on what else you're giving though....

I'm not a fan of the pen idea...I think it is because so many businesses use them as a key promotional item and i think it is not elegant at a wedding....just my opinion!

Chocalates. I know everyone likes that!

I was thinking that the pens could be set up on the tables also while people filled out the guest cards. Just an idea I was tossing around.

Ive heard of doing sort of a comical pen idea like:
'I stole this pen from X & X's wedding'. I think its cute if you put them out near the guestbook and such.

If you were to wrap them up, I would think its a little on the cheap side.

I was going to put it on the table for them to take one when signing the guest cards. We already ordered the chocalate favors. I thought it was a cute little extra something but I guess nobody else liked it. I wasn't going to wrap it. The chocalates will be wrapped.

i think it's a really cute idea! ... especially what sonicstef said. and also, i agree they should be by the guest book, not on the tables. i say go for it!

Thanks Sonicstef & Miro127. What about the rest of you?

I agree....if the guest cards are spread out across or around a table and there are pens every where it would be great so that people can fill them out and leave. I think what tripped everyone up is that you called them favors. I don't think you mean to give them as favors...they are just a little something extra that is personalized....like match books...maybe I am wrong but I think you should go for it! Personally, I am adding personal touches all over the place.

Yes, thats what I mean but when I got the negative response I was so surprised. I thought people would get a kick out of it.

Nov. I think its a great idea..I like what some one wrote about stealing the pen!

i fully agree that the word 'favors' is what threw some people off! it's totally a great idea (and now i am considering it for my wedding)!

p.s. what are 'guest cards'?

Thanks Debbie. What about the rest of you? I see you all peeking. I need more opinions to make my decision.

Thanks Michele. Instead of having a guestbook that people sign in on, they will have little cards where they can write their well wishes on.They can place it in a bowl. I thought the pen would be a nice little something extra instead of matches. I guess I shouldn't have called it a favor but a little something extra.

I feel a lot better about it now that you've explained it. I really didn't like the favor idea, but to have them around the guest cards is cute.

Just be careful that the pen design isn't cheesy - keep it simple. I like the 'stolen pen' idea.

Perhaps you could have your hall replenish the supply so there aren't 150 pens at once on the table.
