I can’t say I have received anything more memorable than mints in pretty boxes. We have only a very small number of guests, less than 20, so we are giving people a bottle of champagne, it’s from Berry Brothers who are a lovely wine company in London, their champagne tastes like crisp apples, it’s delicious, and we are getting the small bottles, so everyone can have a bottle to take away with them. Any that are left after the reception we will take home with us and drink!!!

The best favor I ever received was a “wedding” cd from the bride and groom. It had a picture of the two of them on the outside and another one on the inside. They picked songs that meant alot to the two of them along with the song played in the wedding and their first dance song. That was five years ago and all of us who attended the wedding still listen to it.
They got a kit that allows you to print CD covers (they put a pic on the front and the songs listed on the back) and one that lets you make the CD labels that stick on the actual CD. I think each kit was about $20-$25. Then just buy blank CDs and pick 8 to 10 songs to download and burn onto the CDs.
All of our friends do it now and we have a collection of several CDs that remind us of the beautiful weddings of each of our friends. Good luck.

I think the best favor I ever received at a wedding was chocolate.

Last year I went to a wedding where we had at our place settings specially made chocolate covered caramels and the bride and grooms initial were on each one (new last name initial). They were in a tiny box. We were only given one but it was classic, simple and elegant. (not to mention delicious), when the young kids at the table across weren’t looking, I took their uneaten ones!! Good Luck!!

I have learned in my research that something edible is the best thing. No one really wants something that they don’t know what to do with. You can use a family cookie recipe or fudge. Or… go to your local candy store and have some made. You can get boxes for the treats personalized or go to Michaels and get the stuff for cheap and make your own.
I also like the bookmark idea.

These are the favors for my wedding:

Two stalks of lucky bamboo in a clear glass vase w/ glass pebbles in the bottom to anchor the bamboo. We’re not doing the “lucky pair” thing, just our monogram and wedding date label, that way guests can peel it off if they don’t want it on the vase later. I think the best favors I have received are personalized candy bars, mini bottles of champagne, and one bride gave out these gorgeous silver swans that were sugar servers,,,but those were mega-bucks I’m sure!

I’m not sure that wedding favors are still necessary and I don’t believe that anyone will notice if you don’t have them. But if you insist, I agree with most everyone that something edible is probably the best idea. Most cookie chops can put a screen print picture of the couple on the cookie. that is a cute idea. Or you can get candy bar wrappers personalized and give out candy bars. Or if you would prefer to do something more simple, little sachets of m&m’s are great and if you go to the m&m’s website you can order them in the wedding colors!

Good luck and congrats to your daughter!

I have a couple.
Porcelain ring box that was filled with mints- had that thing forever till I broke it
Small bottle of wine with a heart cork stopper- nice but $$$$
Bottle of Honey- very sweet with their logo on it and lasted me a year!!

I am personally doing candles. Which I have shown people and they love them. Perfect Pears in a bag.

Ones I HATE
CD- come on who likes the same music… and I don’t need a copy of the chicken dance.
Cookies or candy- I just had all that food and cake…
Mints- are ok, nothing special
Tea bag- sorry just cheap looking….
Coffee mugs from the dollar store….. ANYTHING from the dollar store…. just looks though less and sloppy.

I think the best choice would be personalized candy bar wrappers. Just about EVERYONE I know likes chocolate…and those who don’t can take them home to someone who does!

Here’s an example:

I guess it depends on what time of year you doing it…and itf you had a theme. Like Im having a spring wedding and Sunflower themed…and my favors will be a small pot with soil (with our names and date written on them)…and a small bag of sunflower seeds with a poem attached.
I think if you can comw up with alot of creative ideas along with your theme that people could actually enjoy and want to use.

From my 30 years on this planet I have discovered that the only favor anyone ever likes is an edible one. It doesnt matter what kind of event or what kind of edible, as long as you can eat it people will take it.
