Champagne Bucket Timer Wedding Favor
October 11, 2007
Have you been putting off your wedding? It could be for a lot of reasons: the outrageous cost of catering, waiting to lose that baby weight, or holding out until you find the perfect favor. If you’re a procrastinator of the highest level, then these favors, reading “It’s About Time! Let’s Celebrate!” are perfect for you. This is the part where I would swear a lot except that I’m pretty sure I made a promise at some point not to swear on this blog.
Showing penis necklace photos = okay, but swearing is out. But this isn’t about penis paraphernalia, this is about tacky favors.
And this egg timer masquerading as champagne bucket definitely qualifies as tacky. This must be a New Year’s Eve favor that’s been ill-categorized by My Wedding Favors. But even as a New Years Eve favor it makes no sense. Who says ‘Well, it’s about time that this year is over’ ? Nobody, that’s who. And who the hell wants to hear ‘It’s about time.’ on his or her wedding day? Also nobody. Seriously, if somebody said ‘It’s about time’ to me, I would punch him or her. Well, not ‘punch’ so much as ‘give a dirty look to’. Unless it was my grandma, because I don’t punch grandmas. Or give them dirty looks.
Of course, me joking about punching grandmas isn’t nearly as funny as the actual text that accompanies this item:
Well, it’s about time these two amazing people got together and made it official.
Yeah, I definitely want an air of defeat to accompany my wedding. “She finally gave in and got married to that guy. It’s about damn time.”
It all arrives, table-ready, in a clear showcase box so your guests can pick up and marvel at their new little gift from any angle. They’ll even love the box itself with its clock graphic and tiny ‘dancing’ tick-tock champagne flutes. (See what we mean about the details!)
Wait, people are supposed to be amused by tiny graphical champagne flutes set at jaunty angles to give them the appearance of dancing? Brides and grooms planning weddings are supposed to be worried about whether or not the guests will marvel at the packaging used on favors? What the fuck, people? Yeah, go marvel at that one.

Those people make good money to write those descriptions. That product looks great in the picture and is a decent idea (instead of getting something that would more then likely be thrown away that day by your guests, they bring home something practical) but on the other hand that timer would look horrible above your stove with the salt and pepper shaker beside it. I think the only people that would keep it are old people (old people hold on to EVERYTHING) and people are just really really cheap and don’t really want to buy a normal timer when they can use their ‘free’ wedding champagne timer!
Hey even though I’m not getting married anytime soon I enjoy your blog. I came over from heat eat review. I think it’s more romantic to go to city hall and sign the papers or go to vegas with a few friends for the weekend then spending thousands of dollars on a wedding. You can pay off a huge chunk of a mortgage with some of the money people spend on one day worth of happiness!! See you later.

that is some tack!
just wanted to share an idea (not mine) that I used at my wedding. Instead of ‘wedding favors’ (I never found any in good taste)we donated money to a charity and gave all the guests a printed card that said ___ amount was donated to ____ charity in your name.
but the champagne egg timer is also good…errr…

I think that I would make a site just about wedding favors, but then I’d miss out on posting about those denim gowns.

Oh, I can see the “it’s about time” favor for someone who delays her wedding to lose the baby weight. I do think nostagically on the days when it was considered inappropriate to wait until after the baby was born to marry.
