Christmas Wedding Favors
December 26, 2007
Sure, Christmas was yesterday, but I didn’t want to think about weddings yesterday. No, I wanted to think about mimosas. And romantic dinners in San Francisco. And Alcatraz. And the new Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb novel.
Fortunately, Stupid Wedding Crap is timeless and wedding planning seems to take a million years (have we set a budget? No. Has this stopped me from making a list of places in Palo Alto where I’d like to get married? Also no.) So, even if this favor is too late for all of the holiday weddings of the Christmas season, it isn’t too late for all of the brides just getting started on their 2008 nuptials.
These are $2.75 each as pictured above. Of course, you could get your own names and wedding dates put on them:
But then you’d look like a complete tool. “Sam and Michelle, thanks for coming to our wedding and sharing this special day with us. We’d like to give you a fragile, easily breakable item that probably won’t make it back to Des Moines with you. Also, when we visit you next Christmas season we’ll be checking your tree to make sure that you are properly honoring us in your home.”
But seriously, if you’re going to get some custom ornaments, I imagine that $2.75 isn’t a bad price. I have no clue about the cost of shipping over at the Stocking Factory, but I’d like to see you find a non-shot-glass piece of customized vitrian cheer for a wedding.

What if you got divorced and they still decorated with the ornament? Awkward!

Call outs to both Palo Alto and Des Moines? Is all this wit and humor coming from an Iowan (current or former) per chance?
Love the page, I’m constantly checking for new entries.

Jodi - That would be really embarrassing
Tricia - I live in Palo Alto right now. Unfortunately the Des Moines I was speaking of is not in Iowa, but in Washington. That’s right Des Moines, Washington. It is differentiated from the one in Iowa by pronunciation: you say Duh-Moines, pronouncing the S.

Hehe, I’m currently residing in WA and grew up in IA… I know all about the two different Des Moines.
Happy New Year!
