Divas,

My wedding is getting close, but I still need one more piece of advice. Are most of you doing CD favors? I was originally, but then I started thinking that I really didn't see the point. For favors I'm having a chocolate and pink candy station with pink paper cones, and I have chocolate and pink gift boxes with personalized tea in them, and I have the pink and chocolate tea lights wrapped in 4 pieces of tulle each and sitting in a glass "holder" of sorts.

I mean do guests really need a CD of some random songs that me and FH like??? I'm not knocking anyone who does them, but can someone please explain to me the thought process behind doing them? I don't want to regret not doing them, so what do you think??? Thanks!!!

Hi KeithsBride, I think the ideas that you have for favors are great. You should definitely go with whatever works for you. Here's my thought process:

When I got married I did the CD favors. Most of the music was gospel/inspirational. My hubby and I had gone through so much up until that point. The songs on the CD were carefully chosen songs that had significant meaning for us as a couple or songs that helped to get us (mostly me lol!!) through trying times. My intent also was for the songs to be a blessing to anyone who listened to our CD.

After the wedding was over, I had several guests comment on how one song or another really touched them. My sister-in-law actually played the CD during her ThanksGiving Day get-together.

So for me, the favor actually served it's purpose. Not only was the music significant to my hubby and I as a couple, it was also a blessing to many of our guests who actually played the CD afterwards.

Like the ladies said, it's a personnal choice. Nothing said that you have to do it. My FH and I choose to do a Romance package for our couples and other package for our single friends. And within that package, is a CD with our favorite romantic songs, among other things. I've never heard of a CD favor that wasn't a hit at any wedding.

Thanks ladies. All of you seem to have really significant reasons as to why you did the CD, especially you Daughter Rhonda...that's really beautiful!!!

Okay then, the jury's still out on this one, I better decide ASAP though!

Time's running out Keithsbride. You're down to 17 days, wayyyyyyyyyyyy past time to start your blog. So, get moving sister. Get to posting that blog (lol).

I agree with the the other ladies...I think you should do what you feel and let your wedding reflect you & FH.

My cd's were a hit also...because they told our story...and just like some of the other ladies, it continues to make it's debut! LOL matter of fact it has been played at 2 other receptions since we got married because their dj didn't show..so trust me, they will definetly be useful to someone if you decide to go that route!

Good luck-and get to posting us some details!! your day is drawing near!!

Thanks ladies. G, I'm sorry don't have time to do the blog, so that's why I haven't done one. I will try to post some pics at some point. How do I do that again? lol.
