"And then you wonder, "What am I ever going to do with this?""

May 19, 2011 - Have you ever picked up a wedding favor and asked the question, “What am I ever going to do with this?” Maybe you turned to your significant other and asked, or maybe you just kept the thought to yourself. Either way, that’s not something you want your guests to say after your wedding.

If you’re planning a wedding, or if you’ve ever planned a wedding, you know that you can spend enough time online to make your head spin! I’ve definitely spent my fair share of time looking for everything wedding online. And now, I’m looking for wedding favors...

I want to get something our guests will really like, that also reflects Glenn and me. And not something our friends will end up tossing in a kitchen drawer only to be found 10 years later when they’re moving. Or something they’ll leave in their car until it gets kicked under the seat where it will live for the next few months until they give their car a thorough cleaning.

So, what should we get for our guests? Something sweet to eat? Since we are having a beach wedding, maybe something practical like a handheld fan? A glass or hugger with our names and wedding date printed on them? A wedding themed candle, maybe with a Vanilla scent?

Since I’m undecided, I would love to hear from you! Please send me your ideas at cherish.lombard@fox10tv.com. I am open to all ideas, especially unique ones :-)

I took a little poll yesterday, and got some of my friend’s favorite wedding favors. Here they are:
