So im on the favor hunt.. if i do them (becuase i already have lots of "favor" type things planned... i want them to be good.
Let the research begin!
I came across on one of my favorite boards (indiebride.com) a post about best/ worst favors and as I sit here cracking up!!! I thought id share some of the worsts and the recievers reasons why they just plain sucked. enjoy.
A fishhook in a tulle-bag with the label - hooked for life... seriously ow wtf stabby why you hide pointy things in my present?
Worst: a rock with my name on it
Worst: Tulle bag of stones. Polished stones, but... what does one DO with these?
Worst: A package of red cinnamon tic-tacs with a Precious Moments label that read: "Mint to be Together"
wtf. it's a CINNAMON tictac with the word MINT on the label? Have these people ever opened a dictionary?
Worst: a clear glass votive holder, with the tag from the dollar store still stuck to the bottom, and a pale blue, awful smelling candle in it. I don't think I even took it home . . .
Worst: An ugly silvery plastic gazebo about 2 inches tall, wrapped in a bow, inside of it was a tulle bag holding rice. Useless...tacky...pointless.
Worst: all of them, but especially anything having to do with jordan almonds. They need to come with a certificate for your dentist for $400 for chipped teeth
Worst: This strange, monogrammed (with the couple's initials) chocolate brown satin "folder" that held the menu for the dinner at the reception. Since our table didn't have napkins when we sat down, we thought these were the (tiny, ineffective) napkins. When the bride and groom came around to the table, they were really confused about why we were wiping our hands on their "favors." I still don't really get it.
Worst: A Bell with a fake flower on it, it was to ring to get the couple to kiss, I was 8 and thought adults kissing was gross, especially because my parents would kiss right after the couple pretty much everytime.
worst ever: a rock. with the date written on it.
worst: A white plastic shiny shoe, with an organza bag of potpourri. A yellow cloth flower had been hot glued on the toe of the shoe. I was a kid at the time, and my mom made me take one after protests (but I distinctly remember her throwing hers away once we got home). I don't know why but out of odd fascination I kept it for years on my bedroom shelf.
Slightly off-topic, but my friend told me of a wedding that used cheap feeder goldfish in rose bowls as centerpieces. At the end of the night most of the goldfish disappeared and they weren't taken home by guests! Apparently some of the male guests were getting a little too drunk and were daring each other to swallow these goldfish. OMG! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Worst favor: Embroidered handkerchief with Bride & Groom's name on it with their wedding date. Seriously?? I'm not 85! They have these new fangled thing called tissues. And even if I did collect hankies why do I want one with someone ELSE's name on them. Totally stupid and usless.
Worst: A Beanie Baby bear with a top hat and a black ribbon with a ball on it attached to its foot ("ball and chain"). Some guests got little bride bears with tiny veils. What was I supposed to do with the bear afterwards?

Haha all of these are so tacky. Makes me wonder what the rest of the wedding was like... did they spend a ton of money then skimp on the favors?
Oh and I was thoroughly grossed out by the goldfish one. Ugh.
