Favor Days Giveaway

Chris and I are attending our first wedding of 2012 this weekend in upstate, New York! We are excited to celebrate for our friends Laurel and Kyle and to see other friends from our college days. In honor of officially kicking off our intense "Year of Weddings" (as this year has been dubbed), I have a giveaway for you!

I was recently contacted by Favor-Days.com to see if I was interested in either reviewing a product or hosting a giveaway. I was sooo tempted to try out one of their products, but I resisted because I'd rather have one of my readers win the $25 gift card to use for themselves!

IF I could use the gift-card, I would use it on these items:

These chalkboard tea light holders. Not only would they be so adorable for a wedding, I want them in my house! Like now...I may just have to buy these...

I actually have cupcake liners at home and haven't had a chance to use them yet. But I just love how they look! They instantly glam up a cupcake, (and really, who doesn't love a glam cupcake?) Like the chalkboard tea-light holder, these are good for weddings or general party hosting as well!

Mini pies are HUGE right now - wait, that's an oxy-moron. This would be perfect for a country wedding, and any type of shower or party!

I think these wine charms are cute, and practical

If I were getting married in December, these sooo would be my place-card holders/favors:

Favor-Days.com literally has everything you need for a bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, or even general party hosting!

Wednesday Wedding Poll: Favors

When it comes to favors, Chris and I are very torn on the idea. As far as I'm concerned we have 3 options

1) Don't give favors at all. I don't think favors are neccessary. We're paying enough to entertain our guests all night as it is. I've been to weddings where no favors were given and no one has batted an eyelash about it.
2) Give a donation to a charity- this is increasingly popular and classy idea. It says "yes. We spent a lot on the wedding, but we're charitable too!
3) Give favors

Pretty much every favor I've come across in my search has been terrible and I was completely behind the charity idea, until this week when I came across a favor idea I could actually get behind. Chris actually liked the idea, too and now we're torn again. We deferred to our friends who's wedding we've been to in the past three years but that didn't help at ALL. In the past 3 years we've been to 6 weddings. Of those weddings 2 didn't give out favors, 2 did give favors, and 2 gave a donation to charity. Obviously, it's split across the board and this is completely our decision on which route we'd like to take.



Answers will be revealed on Friday!
