This was a Nov. wedding and in December we all received Christmas cards with a wedding photo of the B&G so all we had to do was cut off the bottom where it said "Merry Christmas" and put it in the frame. If I remember correctly they enclosed their thank you note with the xmas card.

Back in my day wedding favors were never more than a book of matches that said the B&G's names and the date.

For daughter #2's wedding, we made little metal bells to ring instead of the glass clinking. They were decorated and many friends use them as christmas tree ornaments we have been told.

Easy and cheap!
