Wedding favors

[AOEforme]

We're doing 2 as well. We're making a donation to St. Jude's hospital.

I'm Slovenian, so part of the tradition is that my side of the family prepares a lot of traditional sweets (exactly like a cookie table). However, with appetizers during cocktail hour, four courses, cake, and late night snacks, the food often goes uneaten.

So, we're using a box for a place setting.




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.

Their favors included a scratch-off lottery ticket with one of the lucky pennies taped to the back. There was a note that said something like, 'We appreciate your best wishes for us, and offer our best wishes to you, too. Good luck!' It was cute.

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

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