Lottery tickets

DaisyVenture, on May 25, 2018 at 10:42 PM Posted in Planning 0 26

I’m considering giving each guest a lottery ticket (scratch offs) as a party favor? Either having maid of honor and groomsmen pass them out during cocktail hour or placing them on their seat/table: Good or bad idea? Any thoughts?
I got this idea from a post I saw on Facebook on alternatives to the regular party favors and thought it could be fun !

    It sounds good to me everyone complains about people leaving favors I bet they wouldn't leave those if they won

    I'd try to find a fun way to fit it in thematically, but it's a good idea.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. You can do it in his memory and I’m sure if his family is aware of it they would understand!

    I’m not a huge fan of scratch offs or lottery tickets. I kinda find them tacky, but I think it’s just because I had a horrible ex who spent all his money on lottery tickets and then wondered why he was in poverty lol.

    if you can find a way to incorporate them without making them look out of placec go for it!

    I think you can get custom made scratch offs that you could make your own prizes. Maybe something to fit in with your theme. Etsy.com has a bunch of cute ideas on them.

    I like this idea. You could make some type of cute poem about how you won the love lottery and hope they win the real lottery, lol. Smiley laugh

    I'm thinking of doing this as well. If i do I'm going to leave them at each table setting in a sleeve of some sort saying "for richer or poorer"

    What if you put a little card with it that said, "Lucky in love" or "Lucky to have you!" or something along those lines?

    FH always gives lottery scratch-offs to friends and family for lots of occasions. ..in fact our save the dates were scratch off to reveal the date. I thought about them as favors....I've seen the envelopes, and my friend put them in those little bride and groom stand up boxes with chocolates. Not sure if I'll use them, as we are now giving photo booth pics.

    So sorry for your loss....I would try to talk to them.....Perhaps you could put the tickets in an envelope marked "pennies from heaven" with his name and put a shiny penny in each envelope to scratch with.....could be sweet and sentimental!
