I'm not sure how many of you know considering PF loves to talk about anything...but I'm at Morehead State University now and i'm on my own, so far it's alright but I had to leave my love at home ( and no it wasn't my doggie) a fellow pixie and i are planning on getting married next June 2007, it's Moozillia_78. We are doing good with all the planning but it's kinda hard because we are paying for it ourselves, i don't want to put all that on my parents. If anyone has any ideas for favors that are personal for the wedding at under a $1 a piece it would be awsome considering all the brides books want you to spend like 6,000 on the reception alone.

But the point to this was just to let everyone know i'm still around and i do check in from time to time.

Good luck with the wedding and I hope you're having fun!

As for favors, two ideas:

Candles - Buy the little tea lights in the small glass votives (I've seen the combos you can buy in bulk for around $1) -- and print out (on transparent labels) your guests' name, the bride/groom name, and the date of the wedding. Affix to the tea candle. Makes a great gift/seat card.

Fans - Print out (or have printed) some pretty photo on cardstock -- trim the card into an oval (or have it printed on smaller squares of cardstock), affix a tongue depressor and you have a fan. Can even print the bride/groom name and the date if you want.

one thing we did was take some clear plastic spoons and place a couple of those hershey's hugs and a couple of hershey's kisses in them, wrapped them in colored cellophane and tied w/curly ribbon and attached a lil' note that said "a spoonful of hugs & kisses from the new bride & groom". umm...my stepmom ordered a bunch of our stuff from oriental trading company(they have a website, cant recall it tho) and it's bulk orders that are usually pretty cheap.

Buy packets of mixed flower seeds, for each of the guests to plant and watch your love grow. Ancient fertility magic. Buy in bulk and print the envelopes with all the details, including photo and names of the recipients.

do a search on ebay. I know plenty of people that have either ordered their favors in this manner or at least go their idea from ebay. Two that I saw quickly that I thought were neat ... 1) leather bookmark with a picture. 2) personalized CD with a photo on the face of the CD.

Personalized candies can be ordered through ebay as well.

Congratulations.

I just enjoyed my sisters wedding this past weekend. She made on teh computer matchbooks that said "Mint to be" with the wedding date and their names on them and stapled a mint in there instead of matches. It was so cute!

Have fun and enjoy it!
