Ok so we plan on doing welcome bags with disposable camers, chocolate lollipops shaped like sebastian & flounder (bought off of ebay), Seahorse or Shells shaped soaps (going to try and make them, wish me luck!) Tissues, and some other little travel stuff in a canvas tote bag with a disney pic/wedding logo ironed on. (I'm doing a Mermaid theme and I'm trying to do them as cheap as possible)
I also bought Star Wars candy molds for maybe the Reception/welcome party or welcome bag

Don't know yet
We also want to do place settings with a sand dollar with their names painted on or a seashell with a cut out for a pic/card.
With all that being purchased, we want to do a donation as actual wedding favors in honor of my brother who won't be there (he is mentally challenged so it wouldn't be the best for him to travel

he would need devoted attention from someone in my immediate family and I know it would be hard for my parents to enjoy my wedding and take care of my brother

)
We want to do a donation to the variety club or Cure Autism Now, He did the 'follow everything my older sister does' when we were young and Little Mermaid is his favorite movie too, I made him watch it over and over. So we want to incorporate 'Help make disabled children Part of your world' or something but I can't think of good wording yet.
I felt like so much money already goes into weddings, but believe me its been hard not to purchase favors because I have so many cute ideas of things to make, but felt in the end, this is the best thing to do.
I really want them to be in his name, but I know that when done as favors, you are supposed to do it in the guest's name
That's my idea...
