Favors?

[imnotaprincess]

Is anyone else having as hard of a time as I am deciding on a favor? I'm TOTALLY lost! I've tossed around:

Mini-photo albums (still my fave, just not sure everyone would use)
Picture Frames (can't find quality, affordable ones we like)
Mini Rum Cakes (always a must have for DF and I when stopping in Nassau)


Help! What is everyone else doing?

Yep... me too.
And our wedding is only 50 something days away...

This is basically my favors. We bought these boxes in white, and then we are going to make a green bow around with a tag that has our monogram. Inside we are putting milk chocolate truffles.HTH!

I have two months Wednesday and I'm still clueless. Been talking to Laura about a few things so hopefully she gets back to me this week. Really stressing this part and want to get it finalized!

Amanda used the white chocolate place cards that Disney floral offers. It was great because the served 2 puposes place cards and favors...
One less thing to lug up to Orlando. She will probably post a picture in her TR. They were white choccolate with a dark chocolate castle on them. Name and table number written in Gold, tied with a gold ribbon. Laura took care of it for us. I believe they were $6.00 each. Oh and they tasted yummy too!! Austrian chocolate is awesome.

I'm not sure this is helpful to you, but since we are doing welcome bags with some fun stuff in them, and since all of our VR guests will be at the dessert party the night before (along with a LOT of other people) and we are doing favors for that (crystal star pen with a tag that reads "Wishes Do Come True"), we've almost completely decided to forgo a significant favor for the reception.

Instead, we'll do a card that says that in lieu of a favor, we've made a donation to the Make A Wish Foundation in honor of our guests. Since our theme is "All of Our Wishes Have Come True," it seems like a perfect thing to do. Our placecards are little white chairs that have a box for the "seat" and we'll put Disney mints in those.

Good luck on your decision.

I bought little mini soaps that are pink when we were in France. They smell soooooo good! My mom thinks this is the weirdest favor ever, not sure why. I told her I would rather give someone something they will use and then my friend said " what makes you think people are going to use soap!!!!!" WTH!! Oh well, I love them! I packaged them in little pink favor boxes with some crinkly stuffer stuff and tied them with ribbon.

We gave our guests personalized Mouse Ears...

Thats exactly what we have done for our 'at home' reception. I've made some cards to place on each table saying that instead of favours, we have made donations to Cancer Research and The British Heart Foundation in honour of our family members who are with us not in body, but in spirit. Sadly DF's Dad died last March from heart disease, and my aunt and uncle died last year from cancer, so this is probably the greatest favour I could 'buy'

Here's mine... I got the ornaments from the lenox outlet store and had a friend of a friend do the personalization. We used Mickey's for the boys and Minnie's for the girls.

I really considered this option and my mouse hovered over the submit button... but I was holding out for the ornaments and they prevailed.

Um... no, those were not my favors. Those were a almond tree thorn in my side!

Here are my white chocolate place cards that my mom was talking about

We gave mickey and minnie porcelain photo frames that can be hung up on the x-mas tree, we added a photo of us together - everyone loved them.

I think we have it!! Mickey head shape luggage tags! We wanted something Disney themed and luggage tags are great for a destination wedding. We can pick from a few colours and put a saying on them. I'm getting them through Disney Floral and I think they are about $4 each. But we found these really cool fans too....

We did mickey head christmas ornaments (the glass bulbs with ears that they sell all over the parks). Christmas 06 disney shopping had the mini ones and I got them for under $1 each. I then put purple ribbon ties on them, and put them in silver boxes with purple tissue and purple bows. They're really cute. I know they still sell the mini ornaments in the christmas shop at DTD, just not quite as cheap as the ones I got!

Did they send you any pictures? I am doing welcome bags, and that sounds PERFECT to attach their room information.

No, but I'm trying to get one and will post if I do! I'm pretty sure I know what they look like as I think they sold them in the cast member store when I worked there.
