    Hi bees,

     

    I am planning on having a candy/sweets bar as my main favour, but was thinking about using these as escort tags. They are an antique looking key bottle opener, which i think is super cool. I am planning on buying keys to hang escort cards from anyway, but i wanted to know if you guys think it is worth it to spring the extra money so the keys are usefull.

    These are about $250 for 95 of them

    Or should i just go with the cheaper option which have no use about $60/100

    Oh wow, they are definitely useful, but you may have to tell people what they are so they'll take them home. I didn't notice that they were a bottle opener until you pointed it out.

    just make sure you tell people what they are for, in the picture you can't tell that they are an opener. they are very cool though.

    While I love the look of them I don't think other people will realize what they are. They also seem slightly expensive than most favors. If you already having a candy bar then I would save the money and put it towards that or something else you want / need for your wedding. :)

    I would get the first one, it's really cute and useful. I didn't know what it was till you said something though so I would make sure people know it's not just a key.

    I wouldn't have known it was a bottle opener.

    I like it though... I never have a bottle opener in my house! Esp not a cute one. That's pretty pricey for favors though IMO.

    I really like this idea. I can't tell you how many times I've been without a bottle opener when I needed one, so I'm sure people would appreciate it. Just make sure you tell them what they are because just looking at that key I'd never know it was a bottle opener if I hadn't read that it was.

    I love them, but is there a way you could say "please enjoy this bottle-opener" or something on the tag? (b/c yeah, I'm not sure I would know it was...)

    It's adorable, but I'm not sure people will use them. I guess it depends on your guests -- I think most people in my family would not use them, with the possible exception of my husband (although he already has a bottle opener on his key chain).

    I didn't vote. I think they are super-cute, and I would definitely like one. However, if you already have a candy bar- there is no need to spend the extra money unless you just have lots of money in your budget.

    @Over the Moon:  

    agree! I wouldn't know what it was, but now that I do, I think its super cute & would definitely use it. It makes for a nice momento, too, without having to put your initials on something :)

    I like them.  Like PPs said, just make sure people know what they are for.
