For Richer or Poorer

Put a playful spin on your wedding favors by giving out $1 scratch-off lottery tickets to each of your guests who are 21 years of age and older. Add a witty label that reads For Richer & For Poorer, and don’t forget to personalize your labels by including the names of you and your spouse-to-be. Not only is this a clever idea that plays on the wording of traditional wedding vows, but it’s also an affordable wedding favor that your guests are going to love.
