Favours that double up as place names

Cookies/shortbread/biscuits with names iced on or in cellophane with name tag

Miniature photo frames with names inside

Yup, first time round I ordered chocolates with personalised wrappers. Sent the names off to a company that sent the named chocs back. I think the little catalogues in the wedding mags do them actually. Also very handy for shuffling around to work out the table plan!

My friend who got married last august, had wine glasses and whisky glasses and using glass paint she wrote everyones name on them, therefore doubled as favours and place names.

Love the cookies and chocolate ideas - might work really well with our table themes actually as thinking of naming each table after a chocolate..!

I doubt this is a cheap option, but one wedding I went to they engraved wine glasses with the guest's name (first name only), the bride and groom's name, and the date and place of the wedding. They also didn't have place settings but it could work (although first name only might not work so well as a place name)

Glass painting...like that too.. would they replace the glasses on the table provided by the venue or be extra?

We are doing this. We are giving bulbs for our favours and having the instuctions on one side and the place name on the other.

I'm having luggage tags with our keyring favours attached and the name stamped onto each tag

We are having little favour boxes and putting chocolate hearts in them. The chocolates are in green wrappers to match the theme colour.

I am going to tie a luggage tag to each with the guests name so that they can also be the place names.



We're having wooden scrabble racks with wooden scrabble tiles.

I think the little catalogues in the wedding mags do them actually. Also very handy for shuffling around to work out the table plan!

We're having name badges which will be tied around the serviettes, they'll also be getting some (maybe, personalised) m&ms and a lego minifigure each! The idea of the badges is that we'll have some ready for the evening guests too, to help 'break the ice' for those who don't know each other. We're having them too, being tied around the ribbon - mine will turn into a 'bracelet', just a bit of fun really!

I am doing this. As I'm having a 50's themed wedding I have got black cd's that look like old vinyl records. I'm getting labels made up for them with every adults name on. for the kids, a bag of retro sweets/ old school toy.. Not quite decided yet!

Love this! Saw some pictures like this last night when I was looking and thought to myself if only I liked scrabble this would be perfect!

Home made jam? Depening how crafty you are, you could embroider or sew the persons name on the cloth covering you put on the top of jam jar OR, just write the person's name on the tag.

Flavoured oils or vinegars in bottles. Rosemary, chilli, garlic etc. Again, you could paint the persons name on the bottle, or on a tag.

I did home made chocolates for our wedding, with all different things mixed in. Coconut, cherries, mixed fruit, nuts, crushed biscuits etc. I got favour boxes from poundland at the time (10p per box!) that were in the shape of bride and groom and put the persons name on each as place name.

You could also just put the name on a tag attached to a little bag of goodies: coconut ice (made with a hint of your wedding colours), fudge, toffees, rocky road, marshmallows etc.

Hi we have sevaral types of these here http://www.lilypondweddings.com/favours.htm

Haha! I love it so it works quite well. I would say OH doesn't share my love of the game though. He'll play but ony tolerates it really.

We've made and plan on using heart shaped seeded paper wth the guests names on afterwards they can go and plant them and be reminded of our day

A smart idea. I think I'm going to steal this one somehow, but need to think a little more.

Oooh loads of things...

We had personalised initial wine glass charms as our favours - you could add names to these?

We are having sticks of rock with our names through the rock and then the guests name on the label inside the wrapper!

We're having mini jars of homemade jam with everyones names stamped onto a tag which is tied around the jar, along with a little 'thank you' sticker on the other side of the label.

We've got champagne flutes that i'm going to paint everyones names on and decorate them too. i've also made some wine glass charms (thought the glasses would look too plain with just the charm on) with their names on too and they look good. i was going to try and etch names on but the cream i would need is form AMerica and would cost me a small fortune

Exactly this!
