Favours and Evening Guests

It's a nice idea to do them for everyone if you can afford to, but as an evening guest I would never expect a favour.

What will be in the bags?

I've been to many evening receptions and have never expected anything. For my wedding evening I did a candy bar but that was purely for me as I love sweets, was just a bonus that the evening guests could have them too

As an evenign guest i wouldnt expect any type of favour bag but probably would expect to see the day one's hangin around.

OH and I made the decision yesterday that we're not even doing favours for day guests!

I'm having organza bags with our initials embroidered onto them. I have 65 day guests and approximately the same evening guests coming. I have bought 100 organza bags and will fill them all. Everyone to the day will have one on their place setting (filled with sweets) and then the ones left over will be placed in a basket with a "Please Help Yourself" sign so that if there are any left (I've known day guests to pick up some for the "kids" etc at other weddings) then they can have one. First come first served style!

Oh I do like this idea ?

We're kind of having a subtle music theme as its the main thing we have in common is our love of music/gigs/festivals so things like table names will be our favour band names, I was going to do a collage (sp?) of photos of us at festivals on the table with whatever we're doing for the postbox (not got that far yet) and we've got a band for our evening entertainment - sooo I was thinking along the lines of creating our own CD's which have all the music we're using for the wedding in nice cases/bags. So putting these in a nice basket by our photos would work well ?

Thank you :o)

Love the idea of giving a music CD. Everytime they play it they'll think of your day, and it's something to keep
