Mix CDs as wedding favors? Y/N?
I have mixed feelings about wedding favors. They remind me of the goodie bags you got as a kid when you went to a birthday party.
But, I kinda like the idea of the mix CD.
Firstly, it's cheaper than your average wedding favor. I mean, $1.70 for a crappy candle that no-one will ever bother lighting times 100 guests = $170 on something no-one cares about in the first place!
Secondly, it seems so much more personal. Not only would the mix contain music featured on the day (Beach Song by Hans Zimmer, Hey Jude by the The Mutato Muzika Orchestra, Wild Horses by Slash's Snakepit, Back To The Future Overture by Alan Silvestri) but also a collection of our favorite tracks. Everything from Jackie Wilson to Bruce Springsteen to Elton John to Madonna. I'd also have a track list and cover art.
Like this only six million times better because I won't throw it together in ten minutes.
So -- mix CDs as wedding favors? Good idea or tacky? Let me know.
Thanks guys!

My cousin did this at her wedding. I think it's a great idea! I loved it! Definitely do it.
I like it. Especially for you and Dan. Did I mention that I'm helping my friend plan her wedding? I'm going to steal all your ideas.
I think this is a great idea! I attended a wedding a few years ago where they did this and since then I've always thought that I would do it for my wedding...someday. :)
I also know someone who did it for her wedding and I think it's a cool idea. I mean, like you said, a crappy candle no one wants or a CD they'll at least listen to a couple times (or a million if they dig it). I say go for it :)
Thanks for the advice, guys! I really appreciate it :)
