So we’re going to do these personalized shot glass favors:

Sorry it’s huge I can’t resize it? Anyway obviously shot glasses wouldn’t be appropriate for children favors so I had a few ideas and was wonderig what you guys thought?
– a s’more kit (should I do this for everyone and just exclude the shot glasses for the kids?)
– mickey-shaped soaps (our wedding has disney elements and this would be cool)
– something else disney?
– lollipops?
I’m not really sure what to do…I know I’m probably going to include some kind of at-table activity at the kids’ seats and that can be part of the favor I guess but I’d like something else, as well. Any thoughts to this?

@cwedding14: I would do something edible for everyone. The s’mores kit would be great or lollipops. People really like edible items and often do not use anything that is a physical item.

@bmo88: Well the thing is that a lot of the people attending my wedding drink so I know that they would use shot glasses lol. I was thinking of doing something edible in conjunction with the glasses so that if someone really didn’t want their glass, it’s not a big deal. Plus, FI and I will just take the glasses that no one wants home and use them personally. 🙂

@ms-valentine: exactly what I was thinking!
EDIT: I went in posting this knowing that most people on the Bee don’t give physical items as favors. From browsing the threads, a lot of people discourage it and I can understand why. However, I’m not asking if I should do the shot glasses or not – we ARE doing them. Just asking what to do for the kids, and if that something should be extended to other guests 🙂

@cwedding14: I was at a wedding that the kids got their favors at the table to keep them busy while waiting for dinner they were small milk, curly straw and Oreos. I think the s’mores is the best because they will want it right away so I figure they would eat them in pieces.

These aren’t a bad substitute depending on the ages! @cwedding14:

I would give the kids little coloring books or something else to keep them occupied.

@cwedding14: Yeah I assumed you would still be doing shot glasses, but I would definitely do smores for the kids, and if you have the budget for the adults as well.

Thanks for your opinions, guys!
@harperlynn: definitely a cool option! i’ll talk it over with my mom
I do think the s’mores would be doable for all of the guests. I’ll talk to my mom about it but I think the s’more – shot glass combo will be a go. 🙂 Thank you!

Could you still give them to the children but fill them to the brim with sweets?

The kids won’t really care so much about the glass, but maybe their parents would like to keep them. If you just fill the kids’ glasses with a treat, they’ll be happy. Do a little earthworm mud or somethin fun (chocolate pudding with crushed oreos on top and a little gummy worm sticking out of the top).
