    We are planning on making a Wedding CD with songs that we love that mean something to us in regards to our wedding and slipping it into a cute sleeve and having those as favors.  We're using great music, not just lovey dovey stuff... considering that everyone has a different taste in music and that favors are typically over-looked or left behind: What do you think about this idea?  It's relatively cheap... ~100 for 200 cds.  Is that a lot?  Would you want to take home a cd of our favorite songs?  Should I go for something else that can be prettied up like homemade jam with a fabric swatch on the top??

    I think the idea is super cute! However I don't use cds at all anymore.  Personally I would appreciate the time that went into it, but I wouldn't want it.

    This is kind of a dated idea. Such things were really popular about 12 years ago. Also, now there are so many concerns with copyright infringement that I wouldn't want to be responsible for involving my guests in breaking the law.

    Thanks, ladies!  I appreciate your input.  It is kindof a dated idea now that I think about it.  I was just focusing on it being "personal" and that's why I liked it so much.  Hmmm... I wonder if there is another way to incorporate our love for music with a favor?

    @SBJAXN2B:  They might be too expnsive and I'm usually not a fan of non-consumable favors, but some companies make coasters out of recycled records, like these:http://www.amazon.com/Recycled-Vinyl-Record-Label-Coasters/dp/B003GDZ13Y

    There are a lot of options, and maybe you could tie a tag to each one and use them as your escort cards too.

    I like the idea of CDs as favors for your guest! It's very personal, takes time and effort, and I feel your guest will appreciate them. I would love to have a custom cd to remind me of the special day I attended! That's a gift the wont get thrown away or eaten and never thought of again. I was considering making CDs as my favors. Who cares if it's dated?!

    I have gotten CDs af favors before and I never listened to them. Everyone had different taste in music, it's weird to get two cd's for couples that live together, and not everyone has a cd player anymore.

    i'm  doing them too! Good luck, and let me know if you find a good deal on CD labels. My guests would appreciate them because they often ask me to DJ t their parties. And adding our first dance song, aisle song and parent's dance songs would really be a treat for our parents.

    @SBJAXN2B:  

    I've only received a CD at one wedding as a favor.

    I put it in and played through (quickly) a few songs then tossed it in the trash as it was not my style.

    I think people's musical interests vary too much to make this a viable favor option.

    A great waste of your time (most of all) and your money.

    Just my 0.02 cents.

    I am honestly doing cd's as favors as well! I'm incorporating the processional song (Canon in D Major), first dance song, etc. Considering our guests consist mostly of close friends and family, we've mentioned these cd favors to them and they loved the idea!
