Wedding Favor ideas for summer wedding? My wedding is August 2nd, and it will be an outside wedding and VERY hot! I already bought favor boxes, I just can't think of anything to put inside? I can't do chocolate or something that would melt, so i'm not sure if candy would be best for me. My colors are pink, black, and white. Would pink and white jelly beans be a good idea? Yes it will be in tennessee- hot and humid! but it will be later on in the day as it cools down a bit. But I was thinking more for favors that the guests could take home? That would be somewhat inexpensive.

Wedding favor Ideas please? I'm having a winter wedding. Not very traditional at all. Our colors are red, black and white. We want an artsy different unique wedding favor and can't come up with too many ideas. Thought about doing monogrammed wine glasses with our initials, but we don't love the idea. Any ideas out there, or websites people know of? What about using red and black incense - gathering a few of those together and tying them with a really pretty personalized ribbon? Someone linked me to a site with really reasonable pretty ribbon with your name, date and a design on it? The incense is kind of more our personality and some people might actually keep it, maybe??

HELP--- Wedding Favor Ideas? Hi there. I'm getting married next month. We are having a small ceremony and reception before my fiance is deployed to Iraq. We are only having a total of eight guests, so we are trying to come up with wedding favor ideas. We want them to have something personal to remember the day by. We want something lasting, not something that will be used like candy or candles or something like that. Our wedding colors are white and red. We are getting married in a botanical garden. We thought about claddagh themed favors since we are Irish, but everything comes in green only. We can't find anything that really works for us. Does anyone have any ideas? Something unique, but a great memento? We want it to reflect us. We are a fun, light hearted, but romantic couple... we are stumped. The flag idea is great, and it is very patriotic... but my fiance doesn't want to be reminded of the fact that he is being deployed soon, especially not on our wedding day...

I need wedding favor ideas using baby food jars. Any ideas? We are having a hippie themed wedding, but something flower related would probably work to. I appreciate all the great ideas. I'm leaning toward the seeds, but I also liked the snowglobes and candle ideas. We aren't allowed to use candles at the hall (yeah, strange I know), so if I go with candles I would have to wrap them with something so people don't try to use them at the reception, but instead take them home. Any thoughts on quotes to attach to the jars if I go with flower seeds?

Asian wedding favor ideas? My fiance is Vietnamese and I've had a hard time coming up with ideas. The wedding isn't an Asian/Vietnamese theme, but I wanted to incorporate something from Asian or Vietnamese culture. So far my favorite idea is Lucky Bamboo plants. My mom says she is afraid that it will be a lot of work and many people might not take them. I thought about it and I'm okay with the work. I also have talked to friends who said they would love to take the extras if people do not take them. My questions are: How many plants? 1 per person or 1 per family or couple? Also, any other ideas? I am looking for something different. Don't really want chopsticks or fortune cookies. Thanks for any ideas or opinions! I know this question is pretty specific! :o) This will not be a traditional Vietnamese wedding, so no one will be wearing the traditional clothing. Also, the centerpieces are not bamboo plants, so I think it will be okay. As far as knowing Vietnamese culture and traditions, I do know quite a lot. I have even asked his family for help, but I do not think they are used to the idea of a wedding favor. So his mom keeps telling me just to give candy. I just wanted something a little different that might incorporate their culture, even though they cannot come up with anything. Thanks for the ideas thus far! I'm still liking the bamboo, but also the tea idea!

Computer-related wedding favor ideas? Since I'm in dentistry and my fiance is in IT, we thought we'd do dental-computer favors. For my half, I already ordered personalized toothbrushes. I'm looking for suggestions for anything computer-related that are $2 or less each. We LOVED the idea of flash drives, but we can't get them for less than $5/each. Mouse pads are okay, though not a lot of people use them anymore. Any ideas? They don't have to be personalized since we can always make stickers for them. Thanks! If anyone has any links to $1 flash drives I'd GREATLY appreciate it. The problem is it's hard to fine 100 of them in the same place. Thanks so much Katrina, but it looks like they only sell up to 30.

I wouldn't mind making things myself either. We are just stumped. Best idea gets the points!

What do you think of this wedding favor idea? The wedding colors are pale green and white with silver accents. Use white or green tule fabric (it's like very fine netting). Cut squares from it and put the light green and white TicTac mints in it, then tie up the edges with silver ribbon to make a little bag. Does this sound tacky? Why or why not?

I'm looking for Ninja Turtle/superhero/comic book wedding favors. Any ideas? This is, believe it or not, an entirely serious question. My fiance has decided that he and his groomsmen will be wearing Ninja Turtle colors at our wedding. (That would be purple, red, blue, and orange.) Clearly I must be in love, because I've decided to go with it. Now I want wedding favor ideas that have something to do with Ninja turtles or superheroes or comic books or something along those lines and are SUBTLE and CLASSY (Remember that my grandma will be getting these things.) and CHEAP (One action figure=good. One action figure multiplied by 160 guest=very bad.) I can make things or I can buy things. Any ideas? It's not actually as over the top as you might think. Nice jewel tones on the guys' vest, matching accents on the girls' bouquets, maybe some turtle-shaped tea lights at the reception if I can find cheap ones. It's the top-secret Ninja Turtles wedding. Only the initiated will know. Everyone else will think we just had an unusual color scheme. Now I just wedding favors.
