    Close but it's .....

    Tchotchkes: Little playthings, gadgets, ornaments, bric-a-brac, toys, cheap trinkets, dust collectors ....

    Price limit?
    How many guests?
    Color scheme?
    Is there anything in this sport that's inexpensive?

    patch kits (about $1.50)
    tiny blinky lights (from $6-$9) - I found a great brand of these that are really little, attach with a little band, are really bright and totally cheap - if you are interested I can find out what the brand is.
    Park MT-1 tools - the coolest bike tool I own - also small and inexpensive
    Park tool bottle openers - don't know the price, but they are just cool

    Thanks.. keep 'em coming.

    Trek - they are a thrifty couple so I think the budget is small. It's a small wedding.. really just family and a few friends. Color scheme? Uh.. I dunno? And I love your last comment...

    I'm not sure their family and friends are into bikes so it might have to have a bike theme but not be specifically for a bike, if that makes any sense...


    I love all your suggestions though! Esp the merlot one.

    Like the park tool bottle opener, the anything (trail mix, gu gels, etc) instead of almonds (I hate those), the route map idea (love that one..)

    Will pass these along to her and see what she thinks.. keep 'em coming .. cuz you know how brides are...

    Oh, yeah...


    I don't have many ideas for wedding favors. That wasn't part of wedding supplies when I did the wedding-thing.

    little plastic bike pins
    Second the "Share the Road" bumperstickers (good for riders and drivers)
    invitations to a coffee cruise ride
    bike coffee mugs
    bike bandanas

    Create a special gift at http://cafepress.com -- mugs, pins, badges, whatever. It can have a bicycle design, logo, or pic of the happy couple on bikes. The options are wide open!

    What about little bike bells? Is there such a thing as inexpensive ones? Might be fun to "ding-ding-ding" as the bride and groom dash off for their bikes.
