Favors ...

Irchykk, on March 4, 2012 at 7:39 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 20

So I been thinking what to do as favors for our guest ....

We already going to have a photobooth & it will give 2 strips (1 for us & 1 for the guest), so that can be as a favor, but I didnt think that was enough & wanted to get something for each table... so by looking online today, I found this by mistake....

To give your guest a lottery ticket, $1 or $2 & put it in the envelope (attaching the picture that I found) ... I think that is a great idea & I am definitely now going to do it.. DH thought it was great also ...

& we can put a saying with it something like "we get 1/2 of your winning" or something like that...

what do you think??

    I just suggested this to someone else too. I think this is what me and FH are doing. On the sticker putting "wishing you riches from the new mr. & mrs."

    I love it -- I wanted to do a lottery ticket toss bouquet that everyone could participate in (not just single ladies), but didn't get around to it.

    Also, we had photobooth picture frames with a magnet on them for our guests (I got them cheap at framesforphotobooths.com) They looked expensive (hard plastic instead of filmy) and were a huge hit!!

    Cute, but I'd shy away from asking for 1/2 their earnings.

    I think maybe you were joking about that, but you need make sure guest know, too.

    Laurie, I am not sure, I will start looking for them... Maybe Michaels will have something like that .. I just saw that last night & thought it was such a cute & different idea...

    a colleague of mine said her daughter did the lottery tickets for a baby shower & she didnt use the envelopes, she put ribbons on the side, so its another idea ....

    Very cute - you can find these envelopes online for pretty cheap.

    just a quick google got me to those - I searched for glassine envelopes

    I would also shy away from requesting half their winnings, it is hard to relay a joke on a tag - unless you can make it rhyme or something. But I love Dawn E's tag idea!

    Might be a dumb question, but I am in love with the lotto ticket favor idea since I do believe it will be a favor that all my guests will actually use so to me that’s money well spent! My question is, can you buy $1 tickets in bulk or just have to go to a gas station or somewhere that sells tickets and ask for let’s say, 100 $1 tickets ?
