Blankets as Favors - Thoughts?

Even before FH and I got engaged, we knew we wanted a fall wedding. I also knew, I'd want throw blankets as favors - I imagined them rolled neatly on the ceremony chairs with a tag that read, "To have and to hold, in case you get cold - A gift from the Bride and the Groom" I've been diligently...

Even before FH and I got engaged, we knew we wanted a fall wedding. I also knew, I'd want throw blankets as favors - I imagined them rolled neatly on the ceremony chairs with a tag that read, "To have and to hold, in case you get cold - A gift from the Bride and the Groom"

I've been diligently researching options that fit my vision, trying to find ones in my budget, and picking a few back up options in case I can't.

Herein lies my dilemma, in this research I ran across a Knot post talking about blankets as favors and so many people talked about how awful an idea it was - that they'd "probably use it to dry off the dog" or "block cold air from the doorway" or "just leave them, why do I need another blanket" I felt my heart plummet as I realized that this could be true, that even though I'm putting my heart into finding quality items, they may be thrown out.

What do you all think? Am I wasting my time?

    Wait, so the link you posted from Amazon is suppose to represent NICE blankets? I don't think they would ever be more than 4 dollars....

    I would get them for guests to have at the wedding but not as gifts. Like a few ( men won't use it but women most likely always get cold!) to have in the chairs during the ceremony.

    Honestly, the idea is cute but I was just at a wedding this past Saturday and she had blankets as favors with the same sign. Well, no one took them even though it was cold and it started raining and no one bother to move them out of the rain. So they went to waste.

    Also, why is everyone having weddings where blankets are necessary? I don't believe guests should ever be freezing.... get some heaters instead!
