Favor Ideas for a Geeky Wedding?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday January 22, 2003 @04:45PM from the something-to-pass-out-to-the-guests dept.

Rachel Grey asks: "I'm getting married in September to a fellow geek (in the MIT chapel, no less), and we're trying to find geeky wedding favors to give at the reception. Ideally these would cost $4 or less and would provide some instant fun for the guests, so that it doesn't matter if they actually take them home. Some good ideas we've had so far are tangrams (available in bulk for a little under $1/set) and micro Hoberman spheres ($4 apiece). Any more ideas?"

Piles of lego type building blocks by friedegg · 2003-01-22 17:09 · Score: 5, Interesting

Just buy a bunch of lego type building blocks in bulk (real ones will cost more), and dump piles on each table. People can build things, and trade pieces, etc. Lots of fun.

the wedding pics by zogger · 2003-01-22 20:22 · Score: 4, Interesting

--burn the wedding pics and small vid clips right there at the wedding / reception and give out copies on cds. You can get the blank labels printed up now in advance so they are semi pro looking.
