It was then topped off with a pink tulle cover. Very 80's and very smelly.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/worst-favors-youve-ever-received-6/page/5#post-319253 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 15:45:05 +0000 lolo7835 319253@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>worst:&nbsp; A rose dipped in some kind of laquer and then set on a pin to wear as a brooch. And apparently it was crazy expensive which just blew our minds.&nbsp; The following year at our yankee swap christmas party, there were at least 3 of them.&nbsp; Thank goodness the bride wasn't able to make it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>best: the best favor I saw was pictures given out to all the guests along with the candy bar.&nbsp; Sounds lame, but each picture had the guest with at least the bride/groom at some point in their lives.&nbsp; So lots of pictures of grade school etc.&nbsp; Everyone loved it.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/worst-favors-youve-ever-received-6/page/5#post-319224 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:13:42 +0000 Gator 319224@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>A donation in our honor to the pro-life foundation. I don't really care if you're pro-life or not, I just think that topic should be kept out of a wedding! Donations are a great idea, it should just be to one that ALL the guests would be happy with (doesn't anyone want to fight breast cancer or save the tree frogs anymore?).</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/worst-favors-youve-ever-received-6/page/5#post-319215 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:59:34 +0000 D.Marie 319215@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>PS... at my MOH's wedding she gave out candy bars with their engagement photo on them...it was really cute.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/worst-favors-youve-ever-received-6/page/5#post-319214 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:58:23 +0000 D.Marie 319214@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Food is always good! Im sure the wrapper will get tossed after they eat it but at least they will see how cute it is when they get it!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/worst-favors-youve-ever-received-6/page/5#post-319197 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:15:10 +0000 SweetheartDealer 319197@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Has anyone done the hershey's bars that say "here they are" personalized with the couple's name?
