Wine favors? What do you think?

I was wondering who thinks that a bottle of wine per family, plus a set of wine charms and/or coasters with a wine theme on them is a nice favor? Would you be happy getting this? Would you think it's cheap-y?

I was thinking that it would be so pretty to wrap them in a cellophane bag, lined with pale pink tissue paper, tied with a ribbon with our name and wedding date and a little rose tie-thingy to hold it on the top of the bag/neck of the bottle. I also saw organza bags that are really pretty too and was thinking that's a good idea as well.

What do you think???

I did the wine/champange favors w/labels for our e party.
It is a nice thing - but when doing it for a wedding keep in mind maybe all people don't drink? Are children attending?

anyway, I do like it - I did the charms too. you can make them yourself and save the money. Just really labor intensified. Go to micheals pick plain hoop earings. Farily cheap for a box of 50. Then you can pick the color beads you would like on them as they sell them in the packs.

If you would like to use a charm than look up charms on ebay. I found tons and bought them in lots!

Get started right away!
Or you will be kicking yourself later

We are having one cousin who is 5, one who is 9 and the other who is 11 attneding...NO other kids. I said that to my mom (What if some don't drink?) and she said something VERY wise and eye-opening....(If you get a serving dish, what if they don't cook? What if it doesn't match their kitchen? What if you get a candle? Maybe some are afraid their houses will go on fire. What if you get them edible favors? What if some are on a diet and can't eat it? You CAN'T please everyone!) I thought this was genius!

Amen to that!

I think it's a great idea, although I may be biased since I also did wine favor. I gave a bottle per person of Summer Blush from Pindar Winery out on Eastern LI. Everyone LOVED it!!
Definitely go for it!!!!
