Greek Wedding Favors

planning a BOOK-themed wedding, favor ideas?

the theme for my wedding is books and classic literature, i feel kind of bad because my fiance is totally a sports and fix-it guy who never reads fiction, but he thought of the idea and I absolutely loved it! we already have the centerpieces, which are all these different books including Peter Pan and Anne of Green Gables and Oliver Twist. They're going to be on stands, one per table, inside there antique bird cages with flowers around them. WHAT I NEED are some good ideas for favors that also go with the theme, or any other non-favor ideas that you want to share, I'd really appreciate! p.s. the wedding is April 17, 2010 (so excited!!)

1. Well here is my first offering. Found this website makes all sort of book themed gifts ranging from clips to flasks to bookmarkers and even tampon holders(although I am not too sure about that last one lol.) You can find the site at: http://www.kyledesigns.com/category/14_personalized_gifts.04_gift_ideas_themed.book_gifts/ The other thing I would suggest is bookmarkers. These come in all shapes, sizes, materials, themes. They range from very elaborate to very simple...and i figure if you give a more simple kind then you can pair it with something else. You can check any company that sells promotional items or that sells wedding favours and see what they might have to offer. I found these simple bookmarkers that might suit the likes that you express are your fiance's. I thought they were cute and that you could again perhaps pair them with something else or give persons a set of 3 or so. They have alot of bookmarkers and items so don't write it off from the first page lol. You can see these at: http://www.thefind.com/crafts/info-sports-bookmark#page=1&local=0 I also found this list @ cozy library with book themed ideas for book lovers and I figured that you can always adapt some of these into wedding favours. See this site at: http://www.cozylibrary.com/default.aspx?id=420 I especially liked the action figure ideas with little figurines of shakespeare, edgar allen poe, jane austen and oscar wilde among others. those are at http://www.mcphee.com/categories/action.html Well I hope those help a bit by either helping you find what you want or at least stimulating ideas on what you could do. More than that though, I hope the wedding and the resulting marriage is a blessed one and also that both are successful. ps. Love M's site and the bookmarks offered there!
