Personalized Favors

Being that music is always a constant in our lives, my husband and I decided to give our wedding guests the gift of music. We both picked out our all-time favorite songs and then combined them into one very personal list. Due to our international backgrounds, we decided to name it "An International Affair".. It reminded us both of old movies and even the image from our Engagement Photo shoot fit perfectly. The music cd itself was an eclectic mix of alternative rock, German music, Reggae, even Gypsy music. We got so many compliments. Our guests were thrilled that extra time was spent in picking out the perfect music mix for them, and they had a chance to listen to it while being there for our destination wedding. My husband's parents even admitted dancing to the gypsy song while back at home. All in all, it was a personal favor and cheap. I purchased cd labels from a paper store, bought little envelopes and glued a paper square in our wedding color to the front. Then I tied a bow in our wedding color I had already used on my invitations. Since our wedding was a beach wedding, the cds were attached to beach mats in the same color. I purchased those at Target for $2 each.
