What’s Your FAVORite?

What’s Your FAVORite?

We’ve been going back and forth about favors for a while. Even though we’ve started making Limoncello, we’re not sure that we have enough time to make enough for everyone. We’ve come up with a list of ideas, but we need help deciding.

Limoncello - Our original choice, but getting bottles can be pricey and we’d need to come up with an alternative for non-drinkers and for those that are underage.
Sri-Lankan trail mix and Mr. Joey’s family’s special Chex mix - We’d need to order this yummy trail mix from Sri-Lanka, and we’d need to package it right before the wedding to insure freshness.
Recipe cards - We thought about designing recipe cards with instructions on how to make special dishes from our reception.
A greatest hits mixed CD - We could make a few versions, so a couple wouldn’t go home with the two of the same CD.
Custom made luggage tags - We could come up with a few templates and personalize them for each guest.
Mini puzzle - We thought of taking pictures of us and turning them into mini puzzles, but we’re not sure anyone would really want a mini puzzle of us. This option could also be a little too expensive for us.

We’re not sure which to pick, but we’re leaning toward the luggage tags or the limoncello.

What do you think? Which option would you choose? Are you deciding between a few favor options?

I like the Sri-Lankan trail mix idea. Just because it’s personal to you while still being edible, which it’s been made pretty clear on the boards people like best. The CD might also be nice since you mentioned Mr. Joey especially is a music-lover.

I think limoncello would be awesome, but the trail mix would be my second choice.

I think, that before deciding what favors you are going to give, you should consider the theme of your wedding. I am going to have a flower and candle themed wedding, which resulted in the decision to give each table a flower name. This led to a revelation to give packets of seeds to the guests according to their table name. I am really interested in what your theme is and how your favors could compliment that.

I vote for the trail mix. Cuz I wouldn’t want a puzzle, your guests who came alone will want both CDs (you’ll have to make two for all of them!), recipe cards are a cute idea too though…I don’t know about the luggage tags, I’d have to see them first! But all cute favor ideas!

Option #2! So unique — and edible favors are always appreciated and used.

I would say the limoncello is a great idea - but my personal fav. is the recipe cards! Although I am a recipe collecting fiend… so I would most likely ALWAYS choose recipes

I agree with aja0829 … limoncello would be a great gift if you can pull it off. I really don’t see the puzzles being kept by most people …

Hands down, Limoncello! Every year we have a holiday party, our friends bring us gifts. But the one gift we always remember and enjoy is our friend, Cary’s home-made Linoncello. I love that you guys are making it yourself, it’s unique, it’s TASTY, and the most exciting of the choices (other than the Shri Lankan trail mix–I think that would be neat and a fantastic nod to your heritage).

I vote for trail mix!!! a puzzle would just be kind of weird, and i’m tired of seeing luggage tags and cds. I don’t think people will really use them. Limoncello is cool too, but I think people will already have other drinks to choose from at the reception so limoncello isn’t really necessary.

I really like the recipe card idea the best. Easy, inexpensive, and as a guest I’d love to try out making the dishes! (Assuming your food is going to be delicious, of course )

I like the limoncello or the trail mix. Luggage tags could be cute and double them as escort cards?

My vote is for the Limoncello too! First instincts are usually the best. Stick with yours!

I’m always in favour of edible favours! The recipe card is also a cute idea (and could easily double as an escort or place card!)

I think the recipe cards are a great idea. Inexpensive, personal and totally useful.

Limoncello or trail mix. If it can’t be eaten it will likely be thrown out. This might be harsh, but it’s true.

Can you find some friends or family to help make the limoncello so you get it all made in time? That’s my favorite idea, and if it was your first instinct, it’s probably what is the most personal favor for you guys.
