Would you appreciate playing cards as a favor?

A. L., on September 30, 2016 at 8:18 AM Posted in Planning 0 73

I'm not really super into the idea of favors, but I saw on Shutterfly that you can make personalized decks of playing cards.

FH is a magician (as is the Best Man and several of our guests), and carries decks of cards with him everywhere to do magic for people. I'm thinking it might be cute to give out personalized decks of cards as favors.

Would this be a good favor, or would you likely not bring the cards home with you?

    I don't want playing cards with someone else's face on them.

    Personally, I would love them! They make sense for you as a couple and I can always use an extra deck.

    I would leave them.

    Do something edible or nothing at all.

    I think it's a fun idea. It's fits who you and he are. Run with it

    I'd like a regular deck of cards. A personalized deck with your pictures would feel weird though. If you're super into this, maybe just put your pictures on the box so I don't have to explain to people who you are every time I want to play Go Fish.

    I think it's a cute idea, but I wouldn't end up keeping the cards. I would probably keep them for a week and then throw them away.

    Like other favors, they would probably end up in the back seat of my car until the next time I decide its time to vacuum out my car :/

    They would end up in my camping box as a set. We all play cards but they wouldn't be my go to set.

    I leave 99% of inedible favors and some of the edibles ones too (hate M&Ms). But, I'd take a deck of cards. I love card games and games in general and my husband and I play all the time.

    I would like them and keep them, it seems like we are always missing one or two cards in all of our decks at home

    If they were personalized with photos I wouldn't use them, it would be weird. If they had your names/date or a generic wedding type picture I would take them.

    Playing cards would be a good gift for me, but it would depend on how you personalized them. Nothing gawky or id pass.

    I like the idea since it relates to you and I would probably end up taking them, but they'd get lost immediately.

    We definitely wouldn't put our faces on them, lol.

    I might take cards - but not with your face on them.

    I would skip anything that has you, your name or wedding date on it.
