Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!?
Question by peanut: Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!?
I am getting married in four months and I need help with my favors. I was going to make picture key chains. I have a laminating machine so i was going to use index cards or something and put a picture on one side our names and date on the other side and laminate it. I was going to leave room at the top to punch a hole in it to put the ring in it. Does that sound like a good idea? I need some suggestions. We are kinda tight on money also.
We are doing candy also but my parents already bought the keyrings and laminating machine. What if i use a picture of something that goes with the theme and maybe put our names and date on them. I have to use those keyrings for something.

Honestly for all the time that is going to take you I think people would just prefer little bags of candy.

No offense but that does not sound like a good idea. If you are short on money what is wrong with good old fashioned jordan almonds..?
Girl, if you live in the Los Angeles area go to Downtown to a store called “Molcajetes” You get like 100 favors for like 20 bucks.

I agree totally with the first poster. Really, I would NOT use a key chain with someone else’s picture and wedding date on it. Sorry, but they don’t sound all that nice either. Remember you do NOT need to have favors. If you really want something, just tie up a few Hershey Kisses in some tulle. Your guests will like that much better than a picture key chain.
I agree with the other posters, favours should be simple and cheap and edible! Because people are going to throw them in the garbage, save your time and energy and give your center pieces or some flowers to your aunts, grandmas, mothers and others very close to you.
We are doing candy , our theme is black and white so I am getting black and whitecrinolinee stuff and getting mints (white!) and some sort of black candy (undecided) and doing every other as so (black with white candy..etc)..and I am then going to put everyones name on the bag attached to a tag that says our wedding date and our names…this doubles as place settings, and to tell our guests where to sit ( there going to pick them up at the front table)….
Edit: Then I would take a twist on what I am doing, and spend the time to write Mr. and Mrs. Smith (a guest of yours) and put them at a front table with a ribbon of their table number. This way its the guests names on the key chains and they might be more inclined to keep them
i know its what everyone does but do candy, cookies or bubbles and leave it at that.
honestly your guest arent going to want to have a picture of you and your hubby on their keyring. your favor would probably be thrown away or left at the wedding.
if anything find something useful to give them, maybe a key chain with a starfish if you wedding has a beach theme
No offense, but I don’t like your idea. Would you use a keychain with someone else’s picture on it?
Favors aren’t a requirement, so don’t stress about it. If you do decide to have favors, definitely go the edible route. People will be more likely to take them home than, say, a candle. At our wedding the venue made up these little mint boxes, they were just Tic Tacs, but it was wrapped in a really nice paper and it had our names and our wedding date written on it. We also did chocolate truffles, but they were a bit pricey.
I had three different favors at my wedding, for 150 guests. We wanted to give them something they could use that wasn’t personalised too much, so it wouldn’t sit in a junkdrawer somewhere.
We spent 30 bucks on the jordan almond candy(5lb bag of white), pre-cut tulle circles (two packages of 150), a spool of multi-coloured ribbon in our colours, wedding bubbles, and pastel M&M’s, all from Wal-Mart. We also bought a large bag of wildflower seeds and put about 3/4 of a cup into these cute little origami boxes that my husband made from ordinary computer paper, and my sister wrote in calligraphy on them our names, date, and “Love Grows Wild” on it. That only cost us another 8, including the calligraphy pen.
On our first anniversary, people sent us pictures of their gardens and windowboxes with the wildflowers planted, or small pressed flowers from the seed mixture. Proof that it was one favor people appreciated!
Oh, and Congratulations!
