Music... Think jazzy or love songs. Lace table cloths and dainty foods and lots of chocolate. Perhaps a couple of really pretty hangers for lingerie.

i avoid favors. I tend to toss them in the garbage at the first chance I get. They are usually cheap and knicknacks and I hate clutter. The ladies in my family usually make a donation to a worthy cause and that warm feeling of benevolence lasts longer than a favor. At my weddingWe donated to the American heart Association in memory of my grandfather; my grandmother and mother were incredibly moved by the gesture.
More info would help. Is it at a house or restaurant. Time of day and # of women attending. Younger or older bride?
