I agree with Amma that you should do what you feel the most comfortable day. No favors are required. The people are there to enjoy the seeing you get married and celebrating after.

Most favors are tossed. Sad, but true.

My son was married last summer and really wanted to do the favors but didn't want to see one just tossed away.

He is a huge music buff. I gave him my 80 gb ipod which he has filled up with music twice.

For their wedding, he took music that was to be played at their wedding and made up CD's for favors.

We accidently found out we had Lightscribe on one of our computers so he "etched pictures" of them on the front of the CD along with the Date, venue, and their names. He then made up CD cases with the name of the guest and the table they were to be seated at. This solved the problem of place settings at the same time. On the inside of the CD cover he placed the list of music on the CD.

Since he did the work himself all he had to pay for were the cd's (which we bought because he needed the lightscibe cd's) and the card holders. The rest he made up himself.

CD's that were lightscribed (etched)
