Hahahah, we also did a late-night cookie bar, with way too many different kinds of cookies and little cartons of milk for people to take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690255 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:30:51 +0000 chrispygal 690255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave out handmade moose ornaments for our destination wedding in Maine. We had them personalized with "Maine 2011" and included a little note about how DH and I collect ornaments when we travel, and love remembering each trip when we decorate the tree, and hoped that our guests would recall fond memories of our wedding weekend each year when they see this ornament. No one left any behind, so that was a good sign! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690242 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:26:48 +0000 Anagram 690242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had traditional sri lankan wedding cake (which is just like English fruit cake with marzipan on top, packaged in pretty boxes) at our first reception and my grandmother's special recipe Strawberry jam at our second reception. My mom and sister made it, so it was really special for me. </p> [attach=2976/13/mkqd8o.550x400.favor1.jpg] [attach=2976/13/mkqd8p.600x400.favor2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690221 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:17:28 +0000 yerpie110 690221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought shoes for every child at a Romanian orphanage I had spend three summers volunteering at. We had a big table with pictures of the kids and an explanation and significance of the donation to us. Most of the guests already knew about my passion for Romanian orphans and loved it!!</p> <p>We also had a photo booth so guests could take something fun and memorable home. It was such a hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690219 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:16:19 +0000 dagret 690219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: we had a cookie table too, but most of our guests were from central pa so they had no clue what the deal was! We didn't do additional favors, we set out bags by the cookie table. Still had tons left! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690187 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 06:55:50 +0000 littleveesmommy 690187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made a donation to St Jude's Children's Hospital in lieu of favors and left a card explaining the donation at each seat. Our guests seemed to have liked the idea which I'm happy to hear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690167 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 06:35:40 +0000 bushelandapeck 690167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Candy buffet and a caricature artist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690134 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 05:32:16 +0000 babycanuck 690134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maple syrup that we helped bottle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-690098 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 03:52:18 +0000 illumina 690098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had packets of flower and vegetable seeds.

Mostly immediate family and a few close friends came down early. We also gave candy at the reception. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-wedding-favor-1/page/2#post-689770 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:31:17 +0000 LovelyPlum 689770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tea bags!
