What is the average number of favors for a wedding? I have heard one is fine, but I always had the idea that 3-4 was acceptable. Here are some details: My reception site includes a centerpiece (a bowl with floating flowers) that is not available to keep. Therefore, there's no centerpiece to give away. MY IDEA was to get 2-3 nice gifts for EACH table and have those little contests to give them away. My first wedding favor already includes shot glasses with our names and date and I'll be putting tulle with mints or champagne jelly beans in them with ribbons. Perhaps, since those are the nice favors, I can do a few "cheap" ones for each person...the shot glasses are per person as well. Additionally, I am cutting corners and therefore, we don't have a limo so that cost is out, cake for my wedding is included in my site as well and my dress isn't that expensive. Sorry for all that info, but it's a bit crucial for the informative part of my questions. For the first response: Contest isn't really the right word. The wedding I went to, the DJ said something along the lines of, "Whomever was married closest to this day at each table gets to take the centerpiece home." That's what I'm talking about. For the second response: Hopefully no one leaves those shot glasses behind...or I'll just open up a bar and use them :P

How does this sound for wedding favors? First I'm going to have bubbles in a basket on all of the tables (I love bubbles! I just think they're so pretty) I'm also going to try to find a good deal on picture frames (maybe at a craft store or something). I love to scrapbook and at the end of all my scrapbooks I always put one last picture followed by the saying (that i made up) "A picture is worth a thousand memories" Inside all of the picture frames we would use the computer to print out (on nice paper/in a nice font of course) that saying, and that would be the wedding favor... yes or no? Hopefully I can find a good price on picture frames (even if its just a frame big enough for a wallet photo) becuase I've got a LOT of guests (150-200) and my fiance and I are young (21) and have no help from family to pay for it. We also just closed on a house!! *Yikes! so many major purchases at once!!* I am currently in the process of figuring out approximately how much we will need for the wedding, and once I figure that out we're probably going to take out a personal loan for it! My moms wedding cost them 30,000$ in 2006. My step father is VERY wealthy though so they were able to pay for it in cash.... Hopefully we can cut down on costs so that it doesnt come up to that much!!!!

How to assemble Wedding Sparklers - Favors? I am helping a friend put the finishing touches on her wedding favors...We saw a picture online of 3 sparklers put together with a box of matches and tied with a ribbon.
