Which wedding favor?

[sarcasticblonde]

Since Adam and I are not having a "themed" wedding, we still want a little bit of Disney Fairytale charm are our wedding. I found some favors, some fairytale-ish, some not. Which do you like?

First, some glass coasters. We would do a purple ribbon and personalized thank you tags:

Next, we have a "Wish upon a star" wine stoppers.

Last are crystal swans. We would probably wrap the box in purple striped wrapping paper with a ribbon.

I like the coasters. Very nice. Would look pretty with purple ribbons.

I second the coasters. I don't know anything about your guests, but it seems like they would be the most practicable. They are very nice too.

That's who I feel too. I want my guests to actually want to take their favor home and use it.

i like the coasters & the wine stoppers,,....the swan is nice, but i like that the other 2 can be used as opposed to put on a shelf

I really like the wine bottle stopper. I think with coasters, several people do not use coasters, and although the swans are beautiful, there is no practicality for other uses. maybe if you did a half coasters and half wine stoppers then your guests can choose the favor they would get the most use out of.

I really like the wine stopper as my first pick...it is nice and practical and especially since it can tie in a Disney feel without being too overboard.

Second pick coasters. I just got coasters at a wedding this weekend and though they were a great idea. The ones I recieved actually had a place where it said thank you and then you can take that paper out and put in your own pic so people are more willing to keep them since personalized.

Third pick swans, pretty much what everyone else said.

All very nice choices though

I like the wine stoppers the best. When I scrolled through your post those really stood out. The coasters are pretty, but they might not match your guest's home decor and then won't be used. The swans are pretty too, but it's just something that will sit on a shelf.

I like the wine stopper too.

I like the wine stopper! It is my first choice for my own favors Its just perfect for a Disney wedding. And a lot of people drink wine, so it would be useful.

another vote for the wine stopper. They look "classy" and fit more into your fairytale theme than the other items. The coasters look more oriental than fairytale imho.

My first choice is the wine stoppers. Although the coasters are a great idea, I think people won't use them if it doesn't match their home decor. I personally don't care for the swans at all (even though they do look pretty)

 

[mystiichell]

my vote is for the coasters

 

[sarcasticblonde]

Thanks for your input!

It's funny, half of you like the wine stopper and half of you like the coasters...which are the two that I like best!

I like that they are both practical. Personally, some of my family members do not drink, so I know that the wine stopper would have no use for them. Maybe I will do the half and half idea.

I forgot to mention that we are having our reception (where the favors would be given out) at the China Pavilion at Epcot...so that's why I liked them.

 

[princessdisneybelle]

Oh I forgot about you haveing it at the China Pavilion. I would definately go with the coasters instead. Those would be perfect!

 

[Lynn5700]

Yeah I think that the coasters would go great with your reception! I like the wine bottle stoppers too.

They have really cute chinese take out boxes that you could use to put the favors in if you are going to be using a chinese theme.

OMG I just thought of something. This has nothing to do with favors but did you ever see the chinese parasols in the Chinese pavilion? I think that you should take pictures with the girls in your bridal party holding the parasols,they have purple and light purple. I think that would be so cute.

I really like the coasters, especially with the reception tie in. I think it's really hard to find a favor that will please everyone, but the coasters will probably come close. The wine stopper would be my second choice.

 

[WildGrits]

As a guest at a resent wedding, I received the wine stopper. It had a heart on the top though. We where stealing each others and lots of people liked them.

But reading that you will be at the China Pavilion, I think the coasters would be more memoriable (hows that for spelling).

A stopper with that Chinese character would be awesome.

That's a really great idea! Adam and I were in that shop in China at Epcot last January and I spent some time playing with the parasols




So, Adam and I have decided to have two favors at the reception: the coasters and the wine stopper. I really like the wine stopper, so I had to fit that in too.

Not everyone drinks, so that is why I felt we needed a second favor. We are going to have 8 tables of 8 at the reception and will put 4 of each favor at each table, just alternating them at each place setting.
