About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

hey chris! We got our guests shot glasses with our names and our wedding date on them. Now that I think of it, they WERE kind of tacky! lol in any case, the guests liked them and they were fun gifts.
No, we did't give our guests any wedding favors. We spent a lot of money on the wedding already so didn't feel the need to get any favors for guests. It's just an added expense anyway.
So excited to hear what you got your guests as favors! We had chocolates made up with our photo, names, and wedding date on the chocolate bar wrappers for our guests. I think they were cute. some of our guests still have them as they said they were just too cute to eat!
I disagree with anonymous up there as it is polite to give your guests a little something to show your thanks for having tham share in your special day. After all a lot of people may have driven far to get to the wedding and have had to spend on transportation, acomodation and wedding presents! It's only polite to show your appreciation and not unnecessary at all. Thats just my humble opinion tho'!
We didn't give wedding favours. It is really not a common Jewish custom, more Jews are starting to do it...but we didn't.
4 gifts does sound like a lot..but if you want to and can afford it, why not??
The best bonbonniers we ever got were very pretty salt and pepper shakers in a silver stand...not personalized but very pretty. We got them a few years ago and still have them on display and use them!!
Jill! That's really neat about the salt and pepper shakers in the stand! I like useful gifts! :)
I love the ones we're giving all our guests and am really excited about them. I think if Dina and Gav can't make it to the wedding because of the little one's arrival, I'll mail them their wedding favors anyway :) I really want D to get them! They're toooooo cute!
hey there,
like Jill said (and you know as you were there) we didn't give our guests gifts as it's not a typical Jewish thing to do...but we had other Jewish customs which more than made up for the lack of gifts for eachguest...
yes customs are a wonderful way of sharing with guests, i agree. We did, however, give our guests little picture frames which also acted as name cards for table seating.
A unique gift we got at a wedding was a CD from the bride and groom that they made of all their favorite love songs. It was so nice that they shared that with us. We sometimes still play the CD. Nice keepsake.
