Our favors are magnets that were designed in part by my late father (who was a professional photographer) and personalized even further by me. If it weren't for that bit of uniqueness and a way to honor my father, we probably would have skipped the favors also. http://bride-to-bekatyd.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-take-on-favors.htmlKatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230945230276208094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829537924360174546.post-3754749983219944932009-06-23T21:22:05.121-04:002009-06-23T21:22:05.121-04:00we did the donation thing!we did the donation thing!The Southbay Newlywedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616663201108196798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829537924360174546.post-22174288838508646632009-06-23T16:06:41.930-04:002009-06-23T16:06:41.930-04:00Thank you!

It was kind of disappointing. We came home with the majority of the candy and have been giving it away (or eating it ourselves) since the wedding. :-P I'm becoming a fatty. hahaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12815223685274258891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829537924360174546.post-75431714398891185842009-06-23T09:08:34.589-04:002009-06-23T09:08:34.589-04:00agreed. i did the candy bar too, it was nice, but ...agreed. i did the candy bar too, it was nice, but no one would have missesd it. i don't even look for favors at weddings anymore & would only recommend if it was family tradition (i went to a french wedding & they always give candy similar to jordan almonds.. yuumm)holly-lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530688980879197741noreply@blogger.com
