I love our favors–they’re so unusual, yet cute. They were one of the first things we figured out for the wedding, way back in June.

Since our wedding has a “starry night” theme, Mr. Blueberry came up with the idea of giving out glow-in-the-dark stars as favors. We realize that most people probably won’t use them–hopefully some will give the stars to their kids or cousins or something, but they should at least be momentarily entertaining :).

Plus, at about 50c/favor, you can’t argue with the price!

We bought 45 packs of glow-in-the-dark stars at Wal-Mart:

and divvied them up into clear favor boxes (About 15 stars per box), each box lined with a small square of blue tissue paper. We have yet to add the tags and ribbons, but we’ve made a prototype with the silver ribbon (included in the pack of favor boxes) and a tag printed with Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and personal thanks from Mr. Blueberry and me.

Here’s an old picture (from June) showing the ribbon on the finished product. But since then we’ve changed the way we’re tying the ribbon, so the bow won’t be as outrageously huge. Plus, we’re going to add the tags.

I hope our favors aren’t *too* cheesy, and that our guests will think they’re fun :).

What are some unusual favors you’ve seen?
