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

We are planning on doing a 'pick your own' favour. 3 barrels full of toffee apples, popcorn and candyfloss. We are hoping to get a good deal from a local sweet shop or cash and carry.

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 😊
