Interactive favors?

Elizabeth, on January 12, 2020 at 1:17 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 8

Hey y'all! I'm trying to get some ideas working for interactive favors (i.e. like a photo booth) that aren't overdone and are a bit unique. I don't want to just buy something to give to them that they'll throw away, not even take, etc., but I'm also not a fan of the photo booth idea; it's just too "prom-y" for me. I'd like to do something that also adds entertainment and yields a product at the end, but doesn't seem like a day-camp DIY craft. Any suggestions? TIA!

    I am making moonshine for our guests! I’ve spent years perfecting the recipe and it’s become something my family always begs me to make when I visit for the holidays. I am going to bottle it in unique bottles. I figured it would be the perfect favor since it’s handmade, “edible” and definitely contributes to the party atmosphere!

    Idk if candy bars are overdone in your area. But there's that idea.
    We're doing a s'mores bar. Which won't yield a take home gift. But it's an activity.

    If I had more time and motivation. I'd put together little s'mores kits and use them as place cards. But idk if I have that in me now.

    I've never seen it but, I've heard of people hiring a caricature artist for their wedding. Interactive and you get a product at the end.

    It's crazy how the motivation just dies as you go through the planning, haha! Totally relatable.

    Our venue is all-inclusive and our package includes a dessert bar alongside the cake (cookies, brownies, other hand-held desserts), but the cake will be served during the plated dinner. So I'm thinking of putting to-go boxes by the dessert bar as a favor, so very similar to the candy bar!

    Oo that's interesting! We're doing a live event painter, so it may be in theme with that! I'll look into it, thanks Smiley smile

    I’m thinking the same thing. Things are added up very quickly and I’d hate to have a favor that people end up throwing away or you don’t see it displayed at their home

    I agree! I just don't want to waste the money - there're so many other things I could put it towards, wedding-related and otherwise. Glad I'm not the only one thinking that!
