    Bra idéer på "favors"?

    Är det nån som har bra förslag?

    Hittills har jag sett att det diskuterats:

    * Godis

    * Vinglas med gästens namn påmålat

    * Ram i samma format som tackkortet

    * Te

    * Hjärttvål

    * Tändsticksask med tryck

    Och de här har jag stött på:

    - blomsterfrön
    - planterade blommor i minikrukor
    - värmeljushållare (med gästens namn ingaverad)
    - huvudvärkstablett till dagen efter
    - en fin chockladpralin
    - en miniflaska baileys eller whiskey

    Vi kommer dock att köra med det vanliga godis och aforism.

    Nej, små presenter är så klart inget krav.
    Jag tycker bara det är trevligt. Jag vill skämma bort gästerna lite med en småsak, helt enkelt.

    Bröllopsgodis är en gammal finsk tradition som började användas igen för ca. 10-15 år sedan. Förr i tiden fick man en finchokladpralin med sig från en större fest (även begravning..) Det var en borgerligt tradition men även arbetarna (torpare) fick en fin chokladparlin som dom bevarade som ett minne. Jag läser just en bok om finska torpare i början av 1900-talet där det var godsägarens begravning. Dom åt upp chokladen, la en trädbit i pappret och bevarade detta som et minne). Därför känns det inte alls konstigt för mig att ge en liten ask med choklad som present (eller snarare som ett minne) till våra gäster.

    Var på ett bröllop i somras (svenskt-amerikanst) då alla fick en liten ask där det fanns en mullkruka med träsfrön i. Det tyckte jag var gulligt och annorlunda. Personligen tycker jag att presenten inte ska vara för dyr, eller "märkvärdig" utan snarare ett litet minne frän bröllopet. Sen är det också så att alla uppskattar inte sånt och man kanske blir ledsen om folk inte tar med sig sina fina fotoramar etc.

    Thanks for this comprehensive advice, and I think I will choose the vintage 50s hairstyles if I need to attend to a wedding, and the sunglasses I want one without drama price, and the SMACrezi Plastic Folding Sunglasses will be a good choice
