I might glue a little pink ribbon on it or something.

I'm doing OOT bags, too, so people will still get goodies, but at all the weddings I've been going to lately, I saw so many favors left on the tables at the end of the night. It made me kinda sad that my friends probably spent time and money making a cute favor and so many people just leave them! So we thought this would be something nice to do.
great idea! yeah we had my sister's bridal shower about a month ago, and I spent soooo much time and money on her favors, and they were all left on the table. Kinda sad actually, but now I have 30 wedding cake candles!!!

I ordered white cardboard cases for something like 50cents each and ordered stickers of our mongram to decorate them. I hand wrote thank you notes and glued them in. Then, I found an ebay seller that had thick brown ribbon for like 20cents a yard, wrapped them, and sealed them with a sticker.

It was much easier than it sounds and cost less than $100 total!
what a great idea! you little diy-er! do you happen to have a pic? yes it does sound a little complicated!

ok earlier I didn't say what my favors were so here goes....(I'll take a pic later)

 

My mom decided she wanted everyone to have necklaces so when we were in Cabo last year in May we bought some nice shell necklaces for the women. Then when we were in PV we bought some nice cases to hold the necklaces...My mom is then wrapping them up....

 

The guys will be getting cigars from Nicaragua...I believe two a piece...

 

that's it...I'll take pics later. Promise...

 

No OOT bags for us.

But I'm still trying to convince my mom that a candy buffet isn't "childish" and would be totally cool for our AHR. cheesy.gif

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
