How many of you bought favours for your guests rather than DIYing, and how much did you budget per person? TIA x

I'm doing a Ferraro Roche in a favour box and thinking about popping some nuts in the bottom too, I'm worried that it seems cheap though xxx

My favours are my name places so they’re only costing us £1.75 per person
We bought and wrapped small boxes of chocolates, heroes, roses etc that we got 4 for £5 from Morrison’s (the offer is on again at the moment I think) everyone ate them in the bit between dinner and the night time.

We are doing sparklers as our wedding will be outside, this way they will use them for the photographs and not just leave them on the tables. (For children we'll do colouring books). I think 100 sparklers are around £36 so not even 50p for 100 people 😊
