Wine Favors

I have a few questions for those of you that are getting either full or half red, white, or whichever wine favors.

1. full or half?
2. one per guest, or one per couple?
3. what kind? red white, etc.?
4. are you putting a personalized label on it?
5. I know this is rude, please dont think i am trying to be rude, but if you wouldnt mind telling me about how much.? again i am sorry for the nerviness.

TIA!!

Re: Wine Favors

Ok, We are getting full bottles because if they don't drink it, they can at least serve it to guests or give it to someone else.

We are getting red wine because that is what the North Fork is known for.

We are giving one per couple because I think one per person is overkill.

We are not getting personalized labels because I personally do not like them. Also, whichever local vineyard we choose to go with, it would be nice to have their logo displayed so people know it's local.

And price, we are getting a really good price because we have an 'in' in the LI wine business. Call some vineyards and see what they charge per case.

Answers:
1. Full
2. One per invite.
3. Blush. No time for headaches on thinking who likes what.
4. Personalized labels: as of now I'm saying no, since we're getting the personalized ribbon. But we might.
5. We got prices of $5-7. It all depends on the brand name.

I'm attaching a picture of the sample. Not perfect though.

Re: Wine Favors

We are getting 1/2 bottles and giving one per guest. I am not getting labels b/c I love the way the bottles look on their own. It will be white wine...it is a chardonnay/pinot grigio mix. This pic is of the small bottles with personalized labels, but I personally like it without! They are like $3/$4 per bottle but since I will be buying them in bulk I think I can get them for less than $3 each. Good luck!

Re: Wine Favors

1. Full bottles
2. one per couple
3. red and white
4. yes, probably personalized labels
5. i'm going to a liquor store. you can get around 15% off when you order in bulk. so, picking reasonable bottles, it can be affordable.

Re: Wine Favors

I already answered but i have a question to add. How will you be presenting the wine favors to your guests? I was going to just put them at their place settings, but I'm a little worried it will take away from the elegance of the tables...what do you think?
