I know favors are one of those things that aren’t absolutely nec­es­sary at a wed­ding, but we were really excited for another oppor­tu­nity to design some­thing fun for our guests. This was one of the first ideas we came up with dur­ing wed­ding plan­ning, and one of the eas­i­est deci­sions to make. Keeping in mind the fact that the major­ity of our guests were trav­el­ing to us, we decided to do a set of post­cards. And being that music and New York are both hugely impor­tant to us, we came up with the theme of “The Songs of New York”.

Each set was pack­aged in a yel­low bak­ery bag, and sealed with a navy and white stripe rib­bon (pur­chased at M&J Trimming) and cus­tom tag.

There were five cards in all, each fea­tur­ing a lyric from a song about New York. Some songs were no-brainers, but we found this awe­some Wikipedia page to help us decide on the others.

The back of each card listed the song and artist, plus room for a mes­sage so that the cards could actu­ally be mailed. What was really fun was that we came back from our hon­ey­moon to find that some of our guests had filled them out and mailed them to us.
