I had no idea what I was getting into with my wedding favors! They seem so inexpensive when you look at just buying one for $1, but then when you look into buying one for all 200 of your guests it's enough to give you a heart attack!
We opted to hit 2 birds with one stone and combine our favors with our refreshments. We used personalized wine labels (from www.bottleyourbrand.com) and put them on our wine bottles.
Our guests loved them and even brought the empty bottles home as souvenirs!
Wonderful ideas about choosing best wedding favor at reasonable price...
