I did scratch cards for the men and handmade bracelets in my colour theme for the ladies

I’m not really bothering. Again, what’s the point in my opinion. I think I’ll just be doing sparklers that are personalised a bit and the guests can use them when it’s dark. Fun for the kids, and the adults!

My mum made little Mason jars with sweets in and a printed label with our names and date of wedding. Cost next to nothing to make and they can be reused

We’re not having favours as such. I’ve just bought a job lot of those face beer mats. And made a little tag that I’m going to peg on it saying something about take plenty of photos with your beer mat and left it at that. Cost me around £20 for 92 guests x

I am giving a lucky sixpence I'm also making wine glass charms which will double up as name cards. Both really cheap to do and gives me and my bridesmaid something to do together.

we put gift bags in the hotel rooms for day guests. I find most wedding favours get left on the table anyway, so we gave everyone a drink for the night before and some other goodies.

We've got charity pins as well. And instead of name cards we've got wooden names that they can take home and double as favours, £23 for 50 people because a site was doing 50% off

I had little boxes which contained a little bath bomb, a chocolate and personalised guitar pick as my husband is in a band

I was always under the impression that favours were originally an Italian tradition rather than an American idea as suggested.
The idea was that guests would receive a small bag or box containing 5 sugared almonds representing the five blessings of Health, Wealth, Happiness, Long Life and Fertility. Although I would have preferred to do the almonds for our wedding unfortunately there are so many dietary constraints (not least that H2B is allergic to nuts) so we are having a small yankee candle named 'Wedding Day' in little box with a printed heart label attached to the bow saying 'Thank you' with our names and the date. Most of our friends like and can use a candle and they cost little over £1 each to make up ourselves and look stunning.

We made a donation to charity and received pins to pop on the table with a little message on the card it was attached to! You can pick different pins as well! We went for snowflakes to match our December wedding! Everyone commented how lovely it was and most people had never seen it done before! Xx

We’re doing the wooden placenames as they are personal and can be taken home... and then some little chocolates scattered around the tables. Budget favours!

We made signs for the table to use the photo booth we hired as their favour so they could take away something they would actually keep and take home, went down a storm xx

Unfortunately our venue doesn't allow bubbles or they would of been a choice especially for kids. Xx
