Favors: White Paper Hand Fans Wedding Party (Ebay - 24=$24.97)

We are attaching Personalized Ribbons to give it a nice little detail at the bottom.

Inside little white organza bags from party city we are giving White Almond Candy (my family believes it gives good luck to the marriage).

I was thinking of having canvas bags with our initials monogrammed on them but my Mom asked me that very question. And I know for myself that I typically don't reuse the bags that I get form conferences, parties, etc and I figured my guests wouldn't either. So we are going with the tan paper bags instead as it is more cost effective (I am watching every penny and I can still put our initials on the front. But thanks for the list should and shouldn’t. I wasn't even thinking of put medication in the bags but that does make sense. Has anyone put bottled water in the bags with the personalized labels?? Is it a needed expense because it looks nice and everything matches or will I be ok with the Deer Park or Poland Spring labels?? Or should I not put in the water bottles??

Where can I get a good deal on about 25 decks of playing cards (not personalized) that are not the flimsy oriental trading ones?
