Your thoughts on this favor

So i am SOOOO against favors. I think they are so annoying and a waste of money. But i know people expect them
So since my shower is in Aug and will likely be HOT, i ordered these- they are pouches of single serve lemonade. Well they came today and im not loving them. I want to add something.

We did individual potted plants - served as the centerpiece as well as the favor.

That is cute, try the dollar store, maybe you can package them in a summery glass?

I like what Randi had suggested.

Maybe get a cute glass from the dollar store and put the mix package in it and tie a cute ribbon around it?

Wow your shower is in Aug? Mine isn't till end of Oct! I'm going to be huge!

You could make sugar cookies with a lemon cream frosting. That is really cheap and everyone loves goodies!

Re: Your thoughts on this favor

I think they are cute and something I would use! For me, if you really wanted to add something else I would stick to something edible, a cookie, lemon flavored candy etc. While I like the idea of dressing it up in a glass, in reality, if its a cheap cup I probably wouldn't end up using it as I have a cabinet full of glasses already, JMHO Chat Icon

ITA! I think your lemonade is perfect. I was at a wedding where the favor was a little tea sampler. It was so classy and it was the only favor I ever got that I actually took home, used, and enjoyed!

Honestly I think they are cute. Don't spend money on anything else. If you want to dress up the packaging a little bit buy pink and blue ribbon, tie them into perfect little bows and glue them on the top. It will cost you less the 10 dollars! It is def not necessary though. I would enjoy that favor and go home and make it right away on a hot August dayChat Icon
