I am going to give away tea bags for favors. They have lame ones you can buy at theknot, but they seem very overpriced and I hate the clipart on them.
That tea idea is great - especially since I'm marrying into a British family!
I've been tossing around a couple ideas, one being a glass coaster with the chiness symbol of love on it. I'll wrap it in ribbon and hang a thank you tag from it.
I want to give something that people will actually use - you know?
Tall Bride - I think cocoa mix is a great idea! I think I would be too lazy to make my own though, I'd just buy large bags of the different flavoured kinds from Starbucks or some other cafe and then just package it myself.
We were going to do tea - try Mighty Leaf teas if you do this, they are teabags but instead of the bags being made of regular teabag papery material, the bags are a silky type of material that look really classy. Not much more expensive than other types of teabags though and they have a huge assortment of flavours to pick from.
I think now we're going to do customized playing cards with our photo and wedding date on the back though because my fiance is a magician so it's a really personal gift. Also pretty cheap since he knows the wholesaler.

BTW
Beccs - the Mighty Leaf tea comes in its own tea bags already. You can buy looseleaf tea and actually looseleaf is usually higher grade tea and perfectly acceptable to give it out this way, but to brew it properly you need to have a tea strainer at home and a lot of people don't have one so I think tea bags are a better bet to give out. I was planning on getting some small organza bags that close with a satin ribbon and putting 3 or 4 teabags in each organza bag, tying it closed and attaching a thank you tag.
Sorry I don't know how to do HTML so I don't know if this will link or not but here is a link to the Mighty Leaf tea website so you can see what I'm talking about: http://www.mightyleaf.ca/tea-pouches.aspx
Thanks smartl.
We did custom CDs - We did two different discs, one of music he picked for me, and one of music I picked for him. The discs were "his and hers" that I designed and had professional printed (Ididn't want to use labels).They had photos of us as babies/kids and an engagement photo, and I made my own sleeves using the super cheap cardboard sleeves as a starting point. Each couple got a set (one of each disc), as did any guest (there were few) that came solo.
The cost ended up being roughly $2-3 per disc. We decided against anything edible, since it just gets eaten and forgotten. Also, music is very important to us, so this was a really personal and meaningful item.
We're doing a candy buffet AND a compilation cd. The cds we bought are super cool and look like mini vinyl records. (Verbatim Vinyl is the name) They are going into cd sleeves instead of cases to keep with the 45 theme. We plan on using mostly oldies music & keep it kind of vintage. We're only doing one per family, though - not one per person.
I'd totally make my own cocoa mix. I've done it for gifts before-- the basic recipe is 2 parts sugar, one part cocoa, and about a pinch of any of the following for each serving: cinnamon, cayenne pepper (tiny pinch for this one!), powdered ginger.
I'm actually helping my friend make cocoa mix packages for her baby's 2nd birthday party as the favor. The party will be held in Dec. and the theme is blue...
We are thinking of getting these and adding hot chocolate and mini marshmellows, tied with a lovely blue ribbon. We'll also add a circle sticker with the baby's name and date.

Or you can put it in glass jars too..
Hope this helps!
we did 3 types of favors but wrapped them the same way. we then noted what they were on the back and said if they liked one of the other types, to meet someone new and switch (we really spent the weekend having families mingle). they held either our fave coffee, tea bags, or homemade cocoa (his mom makes it every year). we also put in two homemade chocolates - dark chocolate topped with either white mint or pink raspberry, in the shape of fortune cookies. the tea was the most expensive since we put in fancier types, but overall it came out to about $.75 per favor.
