Of foofers that is. Despite a few casualties and MIAs, compliments of our newest addition, I’m ready to wrap this toss pom project up.

Following suit of others, I purchased some paper lace doilies and started making cones.

I assumed I’d just hang them off each chair, but it doesn’t really work with the ones our venue includes.

So now I’m stuck. I could put them in a tray and hope our guests remember to pick one up before going to their seat, but I’m afraid too many will think it’s silly and won’t want to be bothered.

So hive, what do you think I should do?

option a) Place the cones in a tray and hope for the best
option b) Stop over thinking it and just place them on each seat
option c) Ask a relative or friend hand them out

I would ask someone to hand them out. This way people know what they are for and when to use them. It also gives it that more personal touch.

I’d also go with option C. That way they won’t have an issue of blowing away either.

Also, I would leave them in a tray, but with a prominent sign saying “PLEASE TAKE ONE.”

Yeah, ask someone to hand them out. Nice way to include some people like little siblings or sisters or cousins who might want to be part of it more somehow. (Or they could just complain about how they had to hand out your darn foofers). That’d be my brothers.

Good luck!

I’d recommend asking someone to hand them out, too. That way they can even clear up any confusion from guests who don’t know what they’re for or what they even are. (foofers, duh!)
One a side-note, your kitty is adorbs!

How many foofers did you make per person?! Just an estimate…I’ve been considering this as an option, but when I think of how many need to be made, I might change my mind!

I’d say keep it simple and place them on each seat (pending breeze situation), guaranteeing everyone will get one. Unless you have a go-getter of a friend or relative eager to help out with something.

Ask someone to hand them out. You can get a basket to put the cones in and have it next to the person giving out programs (assuming your having programs and someone will be passing them out). When they give out a program they can let your guests know to grab a cone.

I agree, asking someone will be easier than worrying about them blowing away and you can involve someone else in the wedding!

Set them out and ask a few family members or friends to explain and get everyone on board!

My vote is also to hand them out. By the way, your assassin in training is way too cute!

You could put them in the adorable doily cones, set them in a tray/basket for presentation, and give someone the responsibility of handing them out with an explanation (if needed). Kind of like the delicious cinnamon roasted almonds at a baseball game, but way cuter!

Love them, love the kitty! You could do a basket and have a friend hand them out, easier to contain than a tray perhaps

I like option c.

Having someone hand them out will be the best way to get them in everyone’s hands. When they see the first people getting theirs, they’ll be interested in seeing what all the fuss is about and they’ll no longer have the possibility to think it’s lame.
