Give olive oil as favors (and use as centerpiece)

It’s pretty fantastic when wedding favors serve multiple purposes: in this case, Talia and Charles used these bottles of olive oil as centerpieces and gifted them to wedding guests at the end of the night. No dealing with the ol’ “what do we do with the centerpieces?” wedding saga, AND your invitees get to go home with something they can cook with.

Show your guests to their seats AND give them a drink at the same time

Monica and Mike used old-timey bottled sodas that served as both favors and escort cards. This would be a great idea for a summertime wedding to let your guests quench their thirst while they search for their seats!

You may remember Andrea and Steve’s Mario-themed wedding for geek-lovers everywhere. But did you also notice the totally appropriate mini cactus favors they had? Cacti are a match for Mario and frankly, LOTS of wedding themes (and non-themes)!
