May 2011 Brides!

[MaggieandJay]

Side Note: I do not have bridesmaids but I am making some special OOT bags for a couple girls that if I did have bridesmaids they would be it. I came across these on ETSY

Last night, I googled some favor quotes.  IMO, favors are things that people throw in their pocketbooks and forget about and then when they need the pocketbook again, they go through it and say.. WTH is this?!?!  Ok.. maybe that's just me! LOL 

 

I want my favors to be used!!  I am going to use tequila shooters with MINTS or GUM in them!! HINT, HINT.  Alcohol + food = bad breathe.  LOL   Have you ladies thought of any favor ideas?  Please share! 

 

Here is my first draft for my favor tags.

I guess you could say my OOT bags are my favors.  I personally don't really like favors, so in lieu of the traditional favor on the table they will have a maraca that they can shake for a kiss, and there will be a card stating that FI and I have made a donation in their honor to one of our favorite charities.

"Our Dear Friends and Family,

In lieu of gifts, we truly only hope that you can celebrate our wedding with us in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

For those of you still curious about registry information, we've set up this honeymoon registry to help us fulfill our dream honeymoon!

Thanks for visiting and we can't wait to see you soon!"

 

We originally were not going to set up a registry at all, but you can get some scary gifts if you don't give people a little help

 

If anyone has better wording suggestions, I'm all ears!

 

 

 

 

Thanks!! I choose the on from the list that one of the girls posted earlier. I like your wording a lot too though!

 

I am on a standstill with my wedding planning, we are really tight on money right now and since we are paying for everything ourselves I can't really do much right now. We don't have anyone booked so far but about 20 people saying that they will be there for sure.

We are doing something very simular. We have Postcard with our 2 furry baby rescue dogs on them then we are making a donation to the Rescue we got them from in leiu of favors
