I got all wedding-buggy again walking through Michael's today. Currently trying to scare up ideas for neat, fun favors that people will keep/enjoy. They must be appropriately geeky. Suggestions?

Also, thank heaven, Mom agrees that we must have real flowers at the wedding. I'm well aware of how practical, cost-saving, time-saving, stress-saving, etc, fake flowers are, but dammit, I want real flowers.

Oooog. Am on the mend and able to eat semisolid food now, with the consequence that I ate way too much for dinner. Oooooog. Very full, tummy hurty. But mac 'n cheese was sooo good. Oooooog.

Bubbles. You honestly can not go wrong with bubbles. They are the single favor that is relatively inexpensive that everyone covets and keeps (at least until the run out of soap in them).

We just tied some ribbon in the wedding colors on the bubbles and since my uncle got us a ton of hershey's hugs and kisses we did little nets of those together with a hand stamped tag with Winnie the Pooh and piglet and some saying.

Whatever you do- do NOT use the End Theme from ANH recorded from an 8-track. It has sound effects from X-wings and TIEs going at it. ;)

Do you have a budget/prelim count for favors? I've actually got a couple of geeky ideas I'd be happy to reseach a bit further for you. :)

I'll make sure and tell Rogue. *eg*

It'll probably be around a hundredish. No budget yet, but my dad's paying. (Or so says my mom. Not sure if my dad's aware of this yet... *g*) Would love to hear your ideas!

Oh I loved Finding Nemo!! :) Saw it with Mark's mom and his almost 3 yr old niece Madison. She did great through it! :)

Something I was thinking of was getting little LED light keychains with some sort of artwork incorporated from the wedding or your intials with the date, or a favorite saying. You can get them as cheap as 1.50 a piece, plus a small set up fee for a minimum order of 100-150.

You know, lights - lightsabers-- a bit of an in-joke and homage to how your lives crossed paths to begin with. :)

If you have any ideas on what kinds of things at the reception- are you really going all out for it (costume theme? Theater geek/Science geek?) or just want traditional with touches of geekiness?

Why do I have a feeling your costume seminar could also turn into brainstorming for your wedding. ;)
