favors

where do you get them at a decent price???

 

[BecBennett]

depends on what you want I suppose

You could try looking at ebay, theknot has a few good suggestions, if you're after some form of confectionary, most online candy stores offer bulk options.

we used golf-tees and had enough favors for 75 people for under $100

I love the golf tees, so cute! We're doing making 2 large chocolate covered pretzels and putting them in little baggies and tying a favor tag with our monogram on the front and "Thank You" on the back. It's all DIY so it will hopefully be pretty inexpensive to do, haven't figured out the total cost yet but I'm anticipating under $1 per person.

Random kind of off the topic...but how did you get that ribbon to curl? I have the same ribbon and I'll be darn! I can't get it to do that!!!

First you need to get an idea of what you want, then google it. Tons of stuff on eBay and online wedding sites. Even Michael's has little heart-shaped measuring spoons and other items.

Our theme is "when you wish upon a star" and I found really cute votives with a silver star that wrapped around the glass votive holder, but they were almost $3 each. I think they doubled as place card settings, but we didn't need those. So - I bought votives and holders and glittery scrapbook stars, glued the stars to the holder and put the votive in. Voila - under $1 each.

My wedding was in December and I wanted Disney Christmas Ornaments but they were too expensive to buy so I made them. I bought ceramic ornaments from ebay and painted the design. It was very time consuming but I liked the way they came out.

I bought the fabric on Ebay and then bought the little books at AC Moore.

At Michaels they have the same ribbon with and without wiring. We used the one with wiring and I was curling them by hand using my finger, then DH got the bright idea to wrap them around a pencil and voila!! The tricky part was packaging them for the reception so the ribbon wouldn't get smushed and flatten. We had 4 boxes of them because we could only do 1 layer of favor-boxes in each box lol. But it worked!

Yes I did paint these but it really wasn't that hard. I printed out a clip art that I liked and printed out a ton, I had about 65 favors to make. I traced the design on top of graphite paper to get the imaged onto the ceramic tile. Then just painted. It took me a long time to do them all but that is partially because I procrastinate. I think I did them all, ribbon and boxes too for under $200

We are using M/M lenox ears as favors. I found some of mine on ebay and at outlets. I personalized with guests name in gold on front and "WDW July 2010" on back.

I plan on wrapping them in white glitter tissue w/gold stars and adding a fireworks bow on top.
