Unique Renaissance Favors for Wedding?
I am planning on having my wedding at the Renaissance Festival and am trying to come up with good ideas for wedding favors that a mix of people from young and old and all across the spectrum might enjoy.
The major problem is that we aren't allowed to bring in outside food, so my ideas for chocolates shaped like dragons/fairies/etc would be out the window and I am left to non-edible favors only!
The wedding would be on the weekend of 1001 Dreams which is all about fairies, fantasies, and amazing things that one might not have believed in (until now!).
I am Irish, and that's helped me narrow down a few things.
I know for certain I do NOT want to pass out candles or picture frames.
Here's some ideas I had so far:
Small wooden mugs (if not too expensive, depends on guest count).
Suede leather pouches.
4 Leaf Clovers (thought it would be a neat gift and unique!).
Shamrock Bracelets (they're green with little clovers cut out of them, the rubber bands).
Plantable Flowers.
Fake gold coins.
Fairy dust.
Right now I'm just brainstorming so anything and everything you guys can come up with helps me decide what I do, or don't, want! Thanks!
It's not rude at all, in fact. It's the input I need to figure out what I want to do or not. :) Like I said, I'm brainstorming and need all the input I can get without actually resorting to asking my guests. It's going to be a big mixed group with quite a bit of younger people, that's why I listed things like the dust and coins and bracelets among other things.
I will ask about that, I wasn't sure since they won't let you bring in a cake so I just figured no on the edibles, too. And homemade chocolates in more appropriate celtic/fantasy shapes I thought would be a nice and personal touch...and people tend to like edibles! XD
OH! I did forget to mention...I was thinking about doing a butterfly release. What do you guys think? I double checked already if this was allowed and they said that it is. Each guest would get a small box with a butterfly we could all release together during the reception sometime. :)

No butterflies, it is harmful to them, even if people tell you it is not. For me all these little favors are and do not mean to harsh or ugly, but are usually something that goes in the trash can. I would get the little gold chocolate coins and use green tulle, make a circle, put in coins and tie with a bow or curly ribbon. Ribbon could be a shiny gold, like coins, depending on your colors.

I would double check with your caterer that "outside food" includes candy. They might make an exception for candy wedding favors. I like the plantable flowers idea and the 4 leaf clovers with some kind of cute saying attached to them.

I think if you do any of those favors it will be a huge waste of money - not to be rude but fake gold coins and fairy dust... sounds like junk. im sure it would just be thrown away. i like the flower idea but that's about it. Sorry.

The only one I like out of those you mentioned is the flowers.
