Hi,

My advice is look for practical favors like measuring spoon, bottle stopper or any kind of kitchen favors. They seem to be very popular in the past years. You might also want to check : http://decor24.blogspot.com/ they always have nice product reviews. Hope this helps.

Thanks, everyone! You’ve all given me some great ideas and places to look!

And she moved the wedding date into mid-May so it gives me more time to look. Yay!

Okay. “ORIENTAL TRADING” which is on the Internet has reasonable stuff for every occassion…including Weddings. Some of it is crap…And some of it is really fun and good. READ ALL REVIEWS!
They tell you what is good and what isn’t. The things are truly reasonable if a lot of people are expected. It’s worth a “look-see”. If they want something much better….Well, I don’t have any suggestions.
I get ALL my “Ladies Who Lunch” Gift bag items from Oriental Trading.
And many of the things ARE Usable!

My favorite wedding favor recently was a uniquely shaped stress “ball” with the name of the bride and groom on it. It matched one of the themes of the wedding and was so cute I really wanted several.

how about a magnet? Maybe with sunflowers on it or something yellow? Everyone needs more fridge magnets right? I like the candle holder idea, like a votive size with a yellow candle in it? that would be cool.

At a wedding I went to last year they had cute little paper boxes with some fancy chocolates in them as favors.

At another wedding I went to they had bottle openers in the shape of hearts as favors.

Both were totally cute and appreciated by the guests.

I went to a wedding where they gave heart shaped cookie cutters with a sugar cookie recipe attached to the cutter. Very cheap and easy to do, but I still use that cookie cutter and it has been 14 years!
