Re: extra favors?

I still have them in my trunk.

But I gave a few to co-workers and some to people who were invited but couldn't attend the wedding. They are coasters (photo coasters to go with our photobooth), so I gave a few people an extra set as well.

Maybe you can post it on BHB? Maybe there's a bride with the same favors who could use a few extra?

Re: extra favors?

I remember one of the girls on this board collecting them for a project she was doing. Mine weren't that good so they are just sitting in a box.

Re: extra favors?

Oh I love those measuring spoons!!! Feel free to send me one!!!

I'd say just give them out to people who didn't get one in the first place. Rather than throw them away. Also you could just tie them to gifts for people for things like housewarming, birthday, christmas, etc. Like a present decoration.

Re: extra favors?

For my shower by mom gave out bags. She has a bunch in her closet & when ever anyone is at her house & needs a bag she pulls them out.
For the wedding we gave out salt & pepper shakers, we ended up with 12 extras. I have them in a storage box & when we use our fine china everyone at the table will have their our salt & pepper.

Re: extra favors?

For my shower my mom gave out purse valet's. She sent ones to people that gave a gift but didn't come and then she sold the rest to her salon (they sell them too).

For the wedding favors, we gave out ones to people who forgot to take them (my mom, MIL, SIL, BIL, my sis, a friend who left early, etc). One of my guests later asked for an extra, so I gave her one too.

Re: extra favors?

There is actually a lady I read about this week in People that throws baby showers for military wives, I would look into donating them to her organization, it's a nice small thing you could do to help our military.

Re: extra favors?

Maybe use them for extra wishing well gifts for other bridal showers? That is if they dont have your name on them. lol
