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.

Jaina, I've made little miniature wedding cakes for favors, and also chocolates molded into wedding cakes, and wedding bells. I've also seen a wedding with cookies printed with the bride and groom's picture. (Edible images are quite popular right now.) Also, I've seen memento soaps in wedding magazines. Not sure what I think about it, but I suppose it's pretty. For my part? I like Chocolates!

At my own wedding? We had centerpiece candle arrangements that pulled apart into individual candle holders- I got them at Things Remembered, some eleven years back, but they were v. pretty and everyone who had a chair, had a candle to take home, with some flowers attached.

And let me be the voice of Fake Flowers- When the day is done, you'll remember it in a blur. But if you have fake flowers, you can incorporate them into your home decor and get a warm fuzzy feeling every time you go past them. (Of course, I'm getting divorced, so every time I go past the rose display in my mother's guest room, I get queasy, but that's neither here nor there!)

Glad you're feeling better. Remind me sometime to tell you my wisdom teeth horror story. It's a doozy.

Mmmmmmm....choooocolate....

Incorporating the favors into the centerpiece...that's a nifty idea. *ponders*

Remind me sometime to tell you my wisdom teeth horror story. It's a doozy.

I will be more than glad to hear it. I'm *so* tired of everyone saying, "Well, they told me it would be bad, but I recovered really quickly!" Yeah, well screw you all! They told me it would be bad, and it *was* bad! :-P
