OBT member "Julia-Gulia" and her future husband are admitted gamer geeks. So when it came time to come up with their wedding favor they thought, "What better favor for our gamer geek wedding than personalized dice?" What better favor? None better favor. Gaze upon their geeky glory…
"We love them and we figured guests can use them in their board games at home because everyone has a Monopoly or Life game that has a missing die."
Along with these great favors, they also came up with an awesome alternative to the "clinking glasses = kiss" nonsense. "We're going to put a tag on each favor that lets them participate in a game (bringing them into our world a little 
. Everyone at the table (8 people) has to roll the die if they want us to kiss. If 4 out of the 8 get the personalized side up, then we'll kiss. We figured that's rare enough that we'll at least get a chance to eat before someone gets it and there's no annoying tinking of glasses." Brilliant!
Want a pair of personalized dice for your wedding? Well, Julia's got the info — "For everyone who wants to know. These are from Chessex. What I was quoted was $.50 a die which is freakin' beautiful! Go under their Customer Service link and then the Contacts page and send an email."

I'm in awe for two reasons:
1. These dice rock.
2. they've got their favors under control and they're not getting married till October. I'm into the 30 day countdown and I'm nowhere near done!!!
Good work, kids!

I told my dude about these and now we want to buy customized dice for everything–for our different campaign settings, as gifts for friends, and maybe we'll even steal the favor idea. For anyone who's perusing the website and doesn't own any Chessex dice, just be aware that the tiny pictures in no way do the colors/patterns justice.
Thank you for finding these, Ms. Julia. You are a badass.

We had these at our wedding and they were such a huge hit! I've always been sad b/c my husband left his in his rented tux pocket and we don't have any of our own. Glad to see others using them!

i love love LOVE this!!! definitely just went to the top of the favor idea list! also love the kissing game, as we were trying to figure out ways to cut down on the annoying clinking so we could eat, mingle and in general be quasi normal. i couldn't do them so early, i don't know how i'd resist playing with them for so long before the wedding!

OMFG! Love this! We both play old school D&D and so do lots of our friends so this is a great idea. And they are from Chessex, I love those guys. We buy all our dice from them when they come to Dragon Con in Atlanta every year. Thanks so much for sharing this.

i keep coming back to these as perfect… and then i force myself to realize that none of our families game (or even play board games). but then… we can always do with a few more d6's around the house… but candy bars would be cheaper…
yeah, i think you see my thought process here. but oh, i wants them…

What a great, inexpensive idea for favors. Kind of gets you thinking as to what other types of game pieces might make good wedding favors.

My boyfriend is a huge gamer and I thought about these. Thanks for the link! And I'm glad to see other nerd power couples geeking out their weddings! (If this is any indication, he wants his wedding ring to have the stargate symbols stamped around it.)
