Where do you put favors?

17 years ago

This may sound like a goofy question, but I'm not sure how exactly this is done!

We're going to do two sets of favors. One is a flip flop decorated candle holder and the other is a little steel sand pail filled with candy. I planned on putting a candy pail at each place setting for the dinner so everyone had one, but I'm at a loss with the candles. We are not doing table seating other than bride and groom and parents; everyone can sit where they want to.

Obviously the candles are not intended for the kids (hence the candy pails). I want all the adults to receive the candles, but don't know where to put them. By the cake table? The guest book? Do I just hand them out to everyone? (That option doesn't appeal to me though, I'll be busy enough! lol)

Thank you for any suggestions!

There are a couple of ways to handle your situation. You can place the candles by the guest book at the reception, if you take it there, or on a table near the entry door so that everyone can take one when they arrive. Another option is to place the candles in a basket and ask a couple of children to distribute them during the reception after the meal. Kids love to do this and guests are always willing to take something from a child. You will have enough to do without you handing out the favors.

We had champagne glass candles with almonds attached in a net & flowers for every couple & candy for everyone. The candy was put at the tables in their place settings & the candles were handed out to the women as they entered & were greated. Women care more about that stuff than guys. So each couple had a candle to share & candy for everyone.

I have used pods in mne and thrown them in becaue of this very issue. Where are their beta testers? I get icons becasue they cross the language barrier, but they could use icons that would give you a hint at what they were. Bubbles maybe. Not to mention the fact that they are not marked in color. Most of these stackers are in basememts or closets where light is poor. I can't see the raised design at all. I had to take a flash photo and try to discern which was which when I wanted to rinse my whites with vinegar. It would cost them a buck to print the use in three languages above the wells. Come on. Bosch. Get with it.

I have granite on my outer counters, and I am in the process of getting marble for my island...I had my fabricator make two nice big extra pieces of my slab, and created 2 chopping boards. I put my utensils, seasonings/oils, and hot drippy lids on it! I sometimes will throw a paper towel on it if its tomato based. I would never put a drippy lid on my marble!!! Maybe see if your fabricator has a good granite or soap stone remainder that they can create a co-ordinating board for you?

I also have never seen refrigerators that did not have reversible doors, and they are quite easy to change, although it does require two people and possibly a special type of Allen wrench - like the star-shaped ones. My fridge has French doors on top, a central drawer (which I love) for meats and cheese, and then a bottom drawer for the freezer, which I don't especially like, but it does have two small upper drawers for things that are used often, and that's what I use the most. I have a small counter between the fridge and the stove, but most often I put foo on the peninsula, which is close enough to the fridge, but not so close to the stove/oven that I cannot use a large pizza peel with the oven.

I keep all my makeup in a caddy in the master bathroom but carry it, with a magnification mirror, to a bedroom window that gets natural light. That way I don't wind up with a clown face when I go outdoors! (The master bath doesn't have a window, and I didn't want to get one of those makeup mirrors that change to natural light since I have a wall of bedroom windows with all the natural light I want.) It's an excellent system.

If you are not having people sit at a place setting, presumably they will be table hopping, I would have some one hand them out as people leave. People really don't want to have candle holder in their hands during a party and they will put them down on the table and lforget them. Give them out as they leave...as a remembrance.
