Ceramic Hearts Submitted by: J. T. of Bigelow, Arkansas I recently got into ceramics and I love hearts. I began making ceramic hearts about 2"x2" and then painting them red, our wedding color. I then took a marker that wrote on any surface and wrote our names and wedding date on each one. We are giving these out as wedding favors. If your not into ceramics look in a craft store for wooden hearts (cheap) paint them and put your names and wedding date on them.

Framed Place Cards #3 Submitted by: Jaylee of Wisconsin My brother and sister-in-law purchased a small frame for each guest and used them as a place card. It was a wonderful idea and a great memento from their wedding.

Donating to Charity Submitted by: G. K. of Houston, Texas I am getting married in March 1998. My fiancé and I are both avid animal lovers. For our wedding favors we are donating $1 per guest to the Houston SPCA, and putting a certificate at each place setting explaining that we donated a dollar in that guest's name to the SPCA. We will put a dog and cat picture at the top, print out the text, and roll it in a scroll form, and tie it with a blue ribbon (color).

Potpourri-filled Glass Bottles Submitted by: Renee of Ottawa I bought small glass bottles from my local dollar store and filled them with potpourri. I then replaced the cork, tied a bow around the neck with coordinating silk ribbon and hot glued a dried rose bud in the center of the bow. I had my bridesmaid help me and we had a great time making them together.

Chocolate Truffles and Tootbrushes Submitted by: M. Lafebvre My husband and I are both dentists. We were recently married 9 months ago. At our wedding we gave out Chocolate truffles and personalized toothbrushes with our names and wedding date printed on them.

Rose-glued Bubble Bottles Submitted by: C. B. of Long Beach, California To dress up the "Bubbles" bottles, we're gluing on tiny roses in our colors. It's inexpensive and easy to do even for those with no crafts experience!

Christmas Ornaments #2 Submitted by: Shelly of Placerville My fiancéand I are having an "olde English Theme" wedding and although we really liked the idea of giving away tiny pots of growing English ivy in hand painted pots - the time and expense were prohibited. Instead, I found Christmas ornaments on super discount after Christmas. They truly are beautiful! Hand-beaded satin balls and blown glass icicles for 75% off! I found them in my local card shop in mid-February. We are going to print out a copy of our wedding blessing as a tag that will be tied to the ornament with gold floss with our names and the date in fancy script.

Spoonful of Kisses Submitted by: S. S. of Pendleton, New York Two of our friends were married 2 years ago. Their favors were very cute! They took a plastic spoon (color of their wedding) and put two Hershey™ kisses on the spoon, wrapped the spoon with tulle and tied it with ribbon. On the card, it said," a spoonful of love and a couple of kisses, now Ed and Yvonne are Mr. and Mrs."

Hershey™ Kiss Rosebuds Submitted by: L. G. of Spokane, Washington Hershey™ Kiss Rosebuds: Take two wrapped Hershey Kisses and place their bottoms together. Wrap with red cellophane. You will now have a diamond shape. Tape the bottom with green florist's tape. Add a plastic stem and tape that as well. Add some fake leaves. Ribbon with your coordinating wedding colors. Voila! You have a simple but "sweet" wedding favor that even the kids will enjoy!!

Paper Fan Submitted by: C. S. of Virginia Beach, Virginia My sister had a summer wedding and the ceremony was held outdoors. She had her favorite photograph of herself and her fiancé made into a paper fan. The fan also included the order of the ceremony and the names of the bridal party. This was given to the guest as they were seated for the ceremony. The fan was multipurpose. It was very useful since it was a warm day, it contained the order of the program and it was a lovely favor.

Scratch-off Lottery Tickets Submitted by: J. S. of Falls Church, Virginia Scratch off lottery tickets! I was recently married in September and we put scratch off lottery tickets in small baskets on each table with a little poem attached with a ribbon stating how lucky we were to find each other and as our gift to our guests, we hope they were lucky with the ticket. People loved them and we even had a few winners.

Ribbon-tied Small Bells Submitted by: K. C. of Laurel, Maryland My sister is getting married and we are not allowed to use rice, birdseed, bubbles, or anything else like that. What she has done is tied ribbons to small bells, so that the ribbons can be rung when the bride and groom are departing the reception. The bells can then be kept as favors.

Photographs Submitted by: K. F. of San Jose, California We are having a renaissance-theme reception. For favors we are setting up an area that looks like a castle (with stone patterned core buff) and placing a sword and shield there. As the guests come in the photographer (or a photography buff relative) is going to take their pictures. Our photographer is going to order us cardboard frames with our names and the wedding date embossed along the bottom. The guests will then receive a photograph of themselves all dressed up as a memento of our wedding. The cost is about $1.00-2.00 per picture depending on how fancy you get.

Hugs and Kisses #5 Submitted by: T. A. of Mesa, Arizona As a party favor, I'm using Hershey's™ Hugs and Kisses wrapped up in tulle with ribbons and gold rings with small silk flowers. To help keep the theme of love and thank the guests.

Tulip Bulbs Wrapped in Burlap Submitted by: Anonymous User My sister got married at the end of August and her wedding was natural and "outdoor-sy". She was going to give away little trees but she couldn't get them so she bought tulip bulbs from a city, (they were really cheap) and put them in little burlap bags tied with ribbon. Strung with the ribbon was a little card with planting instructions and the couples name signed.
