£1 FlipFlops - Wedding Favor

pulliptears

This one with poem is lovely



For those who chose fashion over comfort
Dont sit down and admit defeat
kick off your heels and enjoy the treat!

Google images is full of them, it seems quite a common thing to do looking at the dozens of pics of baskets and poems

If your feet are tired and sore
help yourself and dance some more!

So cute!

One I do like is the wedding cake made of cheese. I would have done that if they'd have been around. Then everyone gets cheese and biscuits




Yum, yum!

My friends had this! He can't eat gluten and she loves cheese, so they went for this. It was delicious :j

I think there's a difference between providing a basket of flip-flops for people who might want a pair, to actually giving each guest a pair as a gift. The former is a nice thought. The latter is just plain bonkers and most will likely end up in the bin.

Call me weird if you like, but I think huge lavish weddings are a big waste of money, which would me much more wisely spent on a house deposit or a fantastic holiday in most cases.

What are huge lavish weddings got to do with a load of flipflops from a 99p shop?

OP try Ebay. You might be able to get a good deal if you bulk buy from one of the shops. I think having the options of flats is a good idea. There's always one who gets up and bust some series moves in heels and almost always ends up on their backside. Even if one person avoids a face plant thanks to your flipflops idea then it'll be worth it.

Although having said that though I do enjoy watching people try to dance on a slippery dance floor a) in heels and b) after a few too many glasses of bubbly.

I'm a turn up in heels girl and bring out the flats when they cheesy dance music starts so I'd be grateful for a pair!

Nope, can't see anywhere in there where it says

"Please give me your opinions on flipflops at weddings"

"Please tell me that 'favor' is an Americanism and I should have something more English"

All I see is a lady planning HER wedding HER way with what SHE wants asking where she can purchase something. Funny how few people have actually answered her in comparison to how many people felt the need to belittle and laugh at her ideas.

OP, its your wedding, if you want flipflops honey you have them! Matalan currently have a summer stock sale and they had them, also Sports direct have a few styles for a quid.

Good luck and have a lovely day

HEHEHEHE ! I am in stitches at your comment ! :rotfl:

Thanks for the opinions ! I am going to go ahead with the flipflops as "I" think it is a good idea and most of my family thinks its a good idea. Everyone's wedding is different. Some like, some dont!

I am not just giving them flipflops as a favor they will be placed on the chairs of the guests so they can use them if they want and not if they don't. I also have a few other things in mind. Really thoughtful gifts as a "thank you for sharing our special day with us".

I'm going to look at asda , matalan and sports direct online !

I just don't see how you can dance in something which gives no support whatsoever and can't be worn unless bare-foot.

To each there own though.

Ooh be careful, I feel the same way.....apparently it's classed as inverse snobbery! :rotfl:

I don't quite see the connection between having favours and having a big lavish wedding. I had favours and a small, modest wedding.

Really thoughtful gifts as a "thank you for sharing our special day with us".

OP, I respect your thoughts, but in true MSE style, what is wrong with good, old-fashioned thank-you notes? Guests will be wined and dined at YOUR expense, which in my eyes is a very generous gift to say thank you for coming! Why spend additional money which, as others have said, will in all probability go in the bin?

Yes it's your special day, yes it's your choice, but I do feel that so many brides go so OTT these days, and starting married life in huge debt will put far more of a strain on your marriage than you can imagine. If you have lots of money and no debt then ok, do it if you want, but if money is tight just think twice about it. What you think is a brilliant gesture will, in all probability, be lost or thrown out in a few days.

I really don't care whether you have favours at your wedding or not, but as a guest can I please make a request? Stop giving me personalised stuff that I feel obliged to keep for a while and feel bad about throwing straight in the bin!

I don't want your 'save the date' magnet on my fridge, and I don't want a shot glass with your names and wedding date on it, please, if you must have favours make them edible or drinkable so I don't have to cart them home and hunt them down next time you visit!
