Ours were about £2.50 per guest but only because we did the c@nc3r r35e@rch donation as favours then popped each donation card in a Chinese wedding red and gold envelope with a gold chocolate coin for the "money".

I'm really lucky. Someone at work GAVE me some beautiful flower patterned square favour boxes. She was having clear out ready to move house.
Not sure what's going in them. We were planning a charity donation to one that is particularly important to our family's. Between us there are 5 people who cannot join us because of cancer and many others who have recovered from it so that's really important to us.
Not sure what to do. Need to use the boxes but isn't as personal to us

You can still do the charity donation and then pop the donation card inside the boxes, maybe just with a sweet or chocolate with it?

That's sorta what I thought. Putting a pin button on the top if the box but not sure how that will look. To be honest. We have that many and that much time to have a play with a few :)

These are my favours :) The boxes were given to me by someone at work for nothing, charms were £1 for 10 from the bay. In this I have used curling ribbon but will use material ribbon for the actuals. have bought some from china, 10m for £2 so will see what that's like when it arrives

We got 140 of the flowery ones in the pic and 200 with a sort of checked pattern. I tried to give her money for it but she wouldn't accept it they are perfect :) Will need to sell them after the wedding as will have no use for them though.. seems a shame for them just to sit there gathering dust

See I do like the organza bags but so many people have them I really wanted small jam jars - I'll put a pic in my album if anyone wants to transfer it for me - just want something turquoise to go in them and then getting personalised stickers to go on the lids xx

They look the same size as the ones in the pic Emma posted. Don't need to be too big.
I'm quite lucky as my auntie has been saving them for me and the mum of one of my bridesmaids is a child minder and she's been saving them for me when she's had babies to look after! x

CommentAuthorEmily17
I think they look sweet small. my boxes are a similar size to the jar and I think that's the right size (2"x2")
Just think, the bigger they are the more things you need to put in it be it sweets, jam, a cake. Whatever it is, you will need more..
So unless you want bigger ones I wouldn't say that they are too small for favours. If you want bigger ones though, I wouldn't say that they are too big either. It depends on what you want.

what do you guys reckon the difference is between those jars and the C0w&gAt3 125g dessert ones? Those one are from the bay and are only 1.5oz or 43ml
As in what do you think the difference - I just cant imagine the sizes lol xx

We're thinking lottery tickets/scratch cards for our favours, we just need to check the guest list closely nearer the time in case theres anyone on it who is opposed to gambling, no one I can think of at the min but I want to doublecheck! xx

Thats a great idea Emily about getting the dj to read out the numbers! May ask them to do that, imagine if someone won!
