We also had candy-filled ornaments that hung on a manzanita tree but they fell over and shattered the day before so those were a no-go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78247 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:16:27 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 78247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stepfather made his awesome fudge that we put in little takeout-type containers. I figure that they're kinda a waste if they aren't edible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78191 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:53:06 +0000 pastemoo 78191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yup, you keep the photos. :) It's pretty great. Everyone loved them. Also, we made our guest book kind of DIY so people stuck some photo strips into our guest book where they signed it. So cool!</p> <p>Most weddings I've been to didn't have a take home favor, so we didn't worry about it. BUT they had the photo booth at our tasting and my husband was SOLD. That was that we were getting that photobooth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78138 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 03:26:33 +0000 looch 78138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The photobooth is the favor? How does that work, you keep the strip of photos? </p> <p>It's been a while since I've been to a wedding, so I feel totally out of the loop! I can't tell you how many times I leave the favor behind at the wedding, so I appreciate something consumable, but if it's homemade, I probably won't eat it (I am weird like that). We had Swiss Army knife wrapped chocolates as favors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78118 Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:00:54 +0000 tequiero21 78118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a shot glass with a sticker of us on it with a tealight candle inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78111 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:22:22 +0000 policewife10811 78111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a fall wedding so we did caramel apples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78110 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:16:31 +0000 lemondrop 78110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78080 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:47:40 +0000 anbanan15 78080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had little handmade boxes filled with heart shaped jelly beans for the adults, and activity books with crayons or crosswords puzzles and pens for the kids depnding on age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78076 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:43:46 +0000 heffalump 78076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: wow, I'm sure your guests appreciated all that hard work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor#post-78074 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:40:12 +0000 pastemoo 78074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Photobooths!<br /> We also did some glasses, but they were supposed to be prizes.
