My ticket, unfortunately, was not a winner. Whoever wished on that penny didn't wish hard enough. Still, I really liked the favor.

In the box is a little note thanking the guests for coming and explaining the tradition. We're going to have the guests fill the box with whatever treats they like so they can enjoy them the next day, or later that night.

I'm in love with both of these ideas. Very nice!
