I've always thought that party favors should be inexpensive, cute and most of all functional, not like how back then you'd get like a figurine of something and you would'nt know what to do with it. So, for my wedding I wanted to come up with something that will be usefull on my guest table, (something that will support the decor)and something that will be usefull to the guests, then I thought, what if it could also be an escort card? At that time I already had votive candles in mind. I was gonna place them on an escort card table and arrange them just like how escort cards are normally arranged, the glass votive holders will have a strip of paper in it containing the guest name and table number, arranged alphabetically so guests won't have a hard time finding it. Guests then take the votive candles to their tables, they can light it up for added glimmer, and then they can place it in a box thats already waiting there, as a souvenier of the nights experience! Inexpensive and functional! Well I ended up doing something else for my favors, since it was an out of the country wedding. I didnt want to take over a hundred glass votives in my luggage. So I've decided to just put it here, and hopefully someone else may find it a great idea, and use it. If youre gonna try it out, goodluck and have fun!
Materials:
