If you hand out your favors either before or after the ceremony, that's just one more thing to have to coordinate. And as I see it, us brides have enough to think about that day! It's just one more thing that could go wrong.

Here's what I'm doing for my favors: I'm filling white netting fabric (like tulle) that comes in pre-cut circles (got them from Invitations by Dawn) with hot tamales and nuts (my favorite snack!) and tying it together with ribbon. But I'm personalizing it by printing "The Bride and Groom's Address" tags and punching a hole in them and stringing them through the ribbon. I bought business cards at Wal-Mart and am using them for the favor tags.

So it'll be a little cute snack and have our names and address/e-mail on it. I thought this would be nice because for one, everyone loves food! And for two, I hate going to weddings and not knowing how to get in touch with the couple afterwards (because so many people move or whatever). I'm putting them at each place setting ahead of time. One more thing off my to-do list!
