Succulents for Fall ‘20 wedding favor

Mrs. Rachel Lamb, on July 12, 2019 at 1:10 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 18
Hi! We’re having a rustic wedding theme next fall (10/10/2020). I’m thinking of giving out these cute succulents as wedding favors. I read on another thread that some guest don’t take them so I’m planning to have their name printed on that mini sign that I’ll put on it and have it placed on their designated table. Would that be a great idea? If you have another wedding favor in mind that would be great. I also find these customized Coca-cola bottle that you can order cute but I don’t think they fit our wedding theme. Any ideas? Thanks!♥️

    I would Totally love a succulent for a favor! If there were leftovers I would offer to take them lol. It’s the one favor that is not edible that I like The idea of.

    This is a super cute idea and if some guests don't take it home, I'm sure others will!

    So cute! I think they'd be more inclined to take it when it has their name on it

    That’s what I thought too. If they don’t then I know who didn’t take it. 😏

    My brother in law had these at their wedding for 200 people. About 80% of the people left theirs and 95% of their guests were local.
    If you're okay with the possibility of keeping many after the fact, go for it! Or at least have little baggies or make sure they close up and the soil doesn't get everywhere when traveling in a car. And make sure people know they are favors not just decor. maybe On the other side of the name tag, write care instructions for those more clueless.
    Most will say to only give edible favors which inclines people to take them, rate seems to be higher.
    We had coffee mugs for our brunch wedding and displayed then with baggies, little baggies to take home extra desserts, and invited guests to take bud vases home, Grandparents/parents were invited to take larger floral arrangements home. About 80% were taken and we're cool with that— most guests that traveled from across the globe and even brought flowers to Hong Kong.

    Oh I love the succulent idea, Rachel! I just love succulents period!

    Perhaps you could have them all on a table with their name and table number on a piece of card? They could double up as an escort card and favor!

    I think that's a cute idea too. I agree with putting their names and table number on them. Then they have to pick them up and take them ha!

    Cute! I do think people with brown thumbs won't take them and be sure to check if they're toxic or or to pets, I try to limit plants due to my pets.

    Love this idea! I like plants and would gladly take mine and my fiances' home if I were a guest! I would for sure put their names on them. It'll add a nice element to the tables or even lined up on a side table like pictured. Additionally, I think it's important to let your dj know to announce that people take their favors. I think many forget to do this. I am going to so people know!

    We went to 2 weddings last month and both did this. We took them home for sure! Lol They are so cute and easy to care for! They are growing like crazy at home too. It won't matter what you do for favors honestly. Some people just won't take anything home. Go with it!

    This is what I've decided on as well. We're ordering them from amazon, with little white pots that we can decorate and putting their names and table numbers on a card with them.
