Small Limoncello Wedding Favors: wwyd?

Cristina, on April 3, 2018 at 8:06 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 16
I have started making limoncello for my wedding favors and I am second guessing myself. I originally bought 72 small (2 oz) bottles to fill with my homemade limoncello. We have 100 guests and I envisioned most would take one per couple, two for people who are really interested.

Now the bottles are looking small and I'm waffling on how to move forward. I am torn between the following options:

1. Leaving as is because nobody wants two little bottles of limoncello anyway, and likely the second will just be thrown away.

2. Getting more bottles, making more limoncello and offering one bottle of limoncello per person so that it looks better.

3. Getting more bottles and filling then with chocolate covered espresso beans, enough so that everyone can have something if they don't like limoncello.

I feel like all these decisions seem important right now and then I'll just be left with a ton of filled little bottles that nobody wants 🤦🏻.

What would you do??

    I think the third idea is best for crowd pleasing but may not be cost and time efficient if that’s a priority to you

    Also, yum! What a great wedding favor

    I think any of the options would be fine! I would probably do option 3 myself. Nothing wrong with some variety Smiley smile

    I make limoncello for friends at Christmas...but I’d be wary at my wedding. Mainly because of legality. I’m probably overthinking it, but alcohol is so regulated that providing homemade liqueur concerned me, especially in a venue that is licensed.

    Sorry to poo all over your favor idea, but it’s something to look into.

    Ummmm, whenever my mom makes limoncello there's like....a family feud over who gets how much to take home....she could make five gallons of the stuff and we would still fight over it lol! This is an AWESOME favor and I vote for option 2....

    Good! As long as they won’t give you a problem, it should be fine! 🍋🍋🍋

    and i I agree with another poster—I don’t think you’ll have a problem getting rid of it!

    I'd vote for #2, but that's because if you invite my FH to your wedding, he will take all 72 jars of limoncello on display 😳

    You could do option 2 and have them do double duty by using them as your escort cards too that way you know each person will get one.

    I would go with #2 -
    I think #3 will add to your stress because then you’ll feel bad if some people decide to take two of a kind or one of each and then the rest of guests will be left with none, I think all the same and in the right amount is the safer bet here!

    Thanks so much everybody for participating! I think I'm just going to make more limoncello, I'm not sure why I was so convinced that people wouldn't want it!!!
