We're hosting an outdoor wedding for our daughter at our home in the evening on July 15. The "sign-in" table will be at the garden gate. We plan to offer hand-held fans as one favor, to be distributed at the "sign-in" table. We also want to offer Jordan Almonds wrapped in tulle for each of the guests. Tables for 8 will be outside, but no sit down dinner with assigned seating. We're also having small, individual bottles of bubbles instead of rice packets. Should both of these favors be placed on the tables, by each chair, or placed in two separate containers on each table? Or, should they all be at the "sign-in" table?

Dear Donnie,

I personally have never heard of a "sign in" table at a wedding, so I'm assuming you are speaking of the guest book table. The favors would be nice on the same table as the guest book so that guests can pick them up as they come in and then go find a seat.
