Weddingbee boards

The worst one was at a good friend of ours wedding a year ago...champagne glasses with their names and wedding date on them.  Seriously what on earth am I going to do with those things?  Bring them out for a nice dinner and think of the two of them?  No.  She even asked me what I thought of them and I was honest and said I think it's kind of out dated and not sure how many people would want them.  Turns out she has boxes of them in her garage and everytime I come over she asks us if we want to take some home.  Uh no I'll stick with my crate and barrel champagne flutes :)

 The Best...a wine cork thingymajig that I use all the time.  

HAHAHAHA @MightySaphire i think its hilarious you named your bird Byron. . LOL that is soo somthing i would do.

I've recieve the norm, Jordan almonds, picture frame with my seating arragnment. The worst was the  fish-shaped lemon squeezer to squeeze lemons over your lobster. Two things wrong with that gift (personally anyway)

1)I am allergic to pretty much all seafood and shell-fish alike, so I should just save myself some time and squeeze somelemon juice on my Epi-Pen

2)It was a hell of alot easier to suqeeze the lemon by hand then to load the lemon into the damn fish,lol

The worst favor I recieved was a photo magnet of the couple. I ended up tossing it right after the wedding and wasn't the least bit embarassed when the bride later saw my fridge and asked where the magnet was..... I told her I didn't match my kitchen decor :P

These are hilarious! And very tacky.

 At one of my cousin's wedding we bagged a few choc. chip cookies together nicely -- they ended up not being used at all because tehy were left by a door and not put at tables or anything, so no one saw them. 

Another cousin of mine did a personalized beer coozy... yeah no thanks. Although, she did make up for it as the brunch "favor" was a little metal suitcase with their names on it with a bunch of personalized m&ms inside- they were adorable and still fill mine up with candy at my desk. 

We are thinking of giving out CD's of my friend's band who might be playing our ceremony and cocktail hour. Check them out - www.paperbirdband.com  Whaddya think of that? Not a mixed tape, and we're helping some starvin' artists. 

I don't care!  My sole favor will be Jordan Almonds.  I will eat all the Jordan Almonds that people leave behind.

Favors...we are doing bubbles, but not as favors, in a basket by the door to be given out as people are leaving since we are not allowed to have anything thrown-no birdseed, etc. Being on such a tight budget, we decided not to do favors per se-I was planning on ordering the buttermints from Oriental Trading and putting those in several baskets-I've had them (and appreciated them after some savory appetizers!) and they're pretty good and very inexpensive. You can order them personalized (actually, they come with stickers with your name on them) but we thought the plain package that says "thanks for sharing our day" would suffice.

I do have the cards with the bells on them simply because the price was super cheap-100 of them for $6.95 and my children thought they were adorable little bells. I'm not a fan, but it didn't matter to me either way. I'm rethinking the bell thing now though. Should we forgo the bells too?

I got shot glasses with those almonds inside. Worst was an angel soap dish made out of ceramic. It has tulle and plastic flowers on it...

 We're giving out little jars of loose tea - our two favourite blends. Enought for about 6 cups.

My fiance and me were thinking of  making baskets for our guest ..and there would be 1 jar of homemade jelly, 1 jar of homemade ketchup/ mustard , a tin of coffee  with and because we both love Chocalate ..there would be choc. in organza bags ..We would have our labels  and we wanted to give variety ..Does this sound ok ?
