Green Weddings -- Can we have less waste and more fun at weddings?

Re: Green Weddings -- Can we have less waste and more fun at weddings?

I think the party favors often involve alot of wastage. I have received so many ones that I have absolutely no use for and after looking at it for a few minutes and saying this is cute then you are like ok now what do I do with this, like elaborate frames with the bride and groom's name or crystal cubes with a picture of the couple craved inside! Probably only the family members and best friends of the couple would want to keep something like this, otherwise what I am supposed to do with a cube with another couple's face on it -display it on my nightstand? Things like this I find silly and a waste. Better to do like SGC said, give edible favors or something that people will actually want to USE and KEEP, as opposed to keeping in a closet for a few months and then chucking them out. Like if you are going to give a nice frame, instead of putting the couple's name why not put something that anyone would like to display in their house, like a nice verse or something. Or make it a reusable frame so they can put something else inside it later, instead of having to throw the whole thing away. I saw something really neat once, little seedlings pouches, all you had to do was dig up some dirt and bury it.
