Personalized Wedding Favors
If you and your bethrothed are planning on having wedding favors at your reception, consider making them personalized. It's your big day and personalizing the favors is a way to share it with your guests. There are lots of different ways to make your favors "personal." First and foremost, choose something that fits your theme and your personalities. If you are both big into golf, then golf ball favors would be perfect. If you are planning a Vegas wedding, there are lots of items with the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, along with gambling theme favors. If you are a dessert lover, look for cookies, candy or chocolate treats in your theme. Many online favor retailers allow you to add your first names, and often the date as well to their favor selections. It could be on hang tags, embossed ribbon, or engraved directly on the favor itself.

Wedding Favors with Personalized Hang Tags
Many online wedding companies sell party favors that come with a free personalized hang tag (some charge a small fee per tag). This is a great way to customize just about any favor you find.One of the trends in 2008-09 are fully coordinated 'personality' favors where you can choose a favor design that is carried through to the box and matching hang tag. Options normally include color and pattern choices as well as tag fonts. These personalized wedding favors may require some assembly, but the final product is well worth the extra effort.
Latest Personalized Wedding Favors
Golf Favors
Golf favors are perfect for the golfing couple. They are particularly appropriate for warm weather ceremonies and receptions held at the local country club. Options include personalized golf ball favors, tees, divot tools, ball markers, towels, or even golf ball ornaments. The golf theme gifts are often combined into a ball and tee set. Another fun design includes golf tees packaged in what looks like a matchbook. If you are having a golf day for the bachelor or bachelorette party, it's another great time tie in your golf theme to the wedding party gifts. Personalized towels are a good option, as are divot tools. For the bridal party gifts, you should personalize them with the recipients name or initials. Personalized Drink Mixes
Drink mix packets personalized with the bride and groom's names and the wedding date are one of the most popular wedding favor choices. Because mixes are affordable and available in hundreds of unique designs, brides and grooms seem to choose them no matter what the season.Packets are normally available with a number of different mixes such as coffee, tea, lemonade, cosmopolitan or margarita flavors, and hot cocoa. So if you are having a winter wedding, things like hot cocoa, coffee or cappuccino are the perfect choice. Whereas for summer or beach weddings, consider a single serve packet of lemonade or margarita mix.
My guess is that the dizzying array of flavor and design combinations along with the affordability are what make personalized cocktail favors a tried and true winner.

Personalized Wedding Cookies
One of the best choices for edible favors are custom cookies that feature a photo of the couple, their names and wedding date, or a custom fortune created just for them. These days you can find cookie wedding favors in all shapes, sizes and colors to coordinate perfectly with your wedding theme.For shaped cut-out cookies, companies sell just about any shape you can imagine from palm trees perfect for destination weddings to snowflakes for winter weddings or cake-shaped cookies that are perfect for any season. Many of these shapes can be personalized with the couples names and the wedding date.
Other edible options include gourmet chocolate brownies, chocolate covered oreo cookies and sugar cookies that have a photo of the couple in edible ink. These are the ultimate in personlized wedding favors.
Another unique cookie idea are fortune cookies that feature a custom saying along with the wedding information. These can usually be purchased in bulk or as ready to go gift packages such as organza bags.

Do You Think Couples Should Have Joint or Separate Checking Accounts?
Separate
Joint
Pinkchic18 says:
I think joint works well. You're sharing a life together, might as well share an account together.
jkvkdailey says:
I think having a joint account simplifies things - instead of "you pay this, you pay that". I think a separate saving account for a little stash or "mad money" is always a good deal too though.
MexicaliBill says:
If you're married, you are supposed to share everything, and that includes money.

Personalized Glassware Favors
One of the best keepsakes to give your wedding guests to say thanks for sharing in your special day is glassware imprinted with your wedding information. There are a wide array of glassware choices available for customization ranging from champagne flutes to simple votive candle holders.While personalized glassware favors can be a bit more expensive than some of the other wedding favor choices, it is something that your guests can use again and again for years to come. One big advantage is that the glass can usually be customized in your choice of design and color so it is easy to theme it around your wedding. Be aware that often times, imprinting set-up fees do apply to glassware so be sure to inquire about any such fees prior to ordering. Also, be sure to order a few extra of whatever favor you choose to make sure that you have plenty to cover additional guests or anything that breaks.

Many online companies sell do-it-yourself wedding favor supplies.See the Youtube videos below and some of the Amazon books that I recommended for unique favor ideas that you can make at home. Some of the essential supplies will be things like edible fillings, wedding favor tins or boxes, embellishments such as flowers, and my favorite - personalized wedding ribbon. Ribbon just gives homemade favors a professional and elegant look.
If you aren't all that crafty, you can still personalize your favors by purchasing any favor online and then adding either a custom hang tag or a personalized wedding sticker. You can find tags and stickers in all shapes, sizes, designs and colors so finding something to coordinate with your store bought favor choice should be relatively easy.
