As we are planning a destination wedding my fiancé and I were just going to skip favors all together but I have since changed my mind as I would like my guests some little thing to remember our wedding. We are going to be giving each of our guests an umbrella (as London is quite well known for its rainy days!) http://www.outblush.com/women/images/2007/03/sky-umbrella.jpgBut since we are having them all flown in the day before the wedding I was wondering if it would be odd to give them all their favors when the bus brings them to the hotel (along with their oyster cards, room keys, welcome bags, etc) As we have luxury buses taking them to and from the wedding location I think 70 umbrellas would be annoying to have all around, and might be forgotten on the bus.Oh my on the bus would be terrible!No, no in the lobby of the hotel  |

| Not at all! I work at a hotel, and it is common for the guests staying for weddings to receive gift baskets, or wedding gifts/favors upon thier arrival. |

| I think it is an adorable idea! Will you have a little hanging tag with your names and the date?I think it is a great idea to give them the favor beforehand. Congrats and best of luck! |

| Hi. Do you mean give them everything ON the bus coming to the hotel? OR, when they get to the hotel, the items will be waiting for them?I LOVE your idea. Very thoughtful and a great idea. Yes, the residents of London never go anywhere without their umbrellas. (I have a sister who lived there for 5 years.)Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to have all the items in their rooms....the umbrella, oyster cards, welcome bags, etc. OR....meet everyone in the lobby and give them the items since you also mentioned you will be giving them their room keys.Good luck! |

| I think it is a grand idea! I would be grateful for the thought. and it would be nice if you gave me heads up, so I would not drag one from home! Edpecially if home is an airplane trip away, and I live in, say, sunny Spain! Find the kind that fold up into the handle, and pop open on the push of a button. Mine has a strap to carry it on a wrist. That kind might be a little more expensive, but might be worth it. Fewer left behinds, if I could fold it up, put it in my purse or the carry all bag that you also gave me, hint, hint. {And I have another that folds up, but is not push button, bought one like that at Dollar General for $4}. Some carry all bags have a pocket on the outside suitable for carrying a folded umbrella. If you want them all to look alike, or be recognizable as a wedding party member when out and about, think fabric paint, and a tasteful design, maybe a cute border in your wedding color. I took that cue from the picture of your umbrella that your had, with the clouds on it. |

| No, that wouldn't be odd. In fact, you might even be able to make arrangements with the hotel to have them in the guests rooms when they arrive. Of course, you'll obviously need to know what names the rooms are all under. Call the hotel and ask if they can do that for you. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
