That's more than enough you want to make sure it's easy for them to take away. We are going a small sweet bag of love hearts and heart shaped chocolate.

Thank you Hayley Marden, they do only have two sweets in each though because they are rock sweets,, or shall i buy a little chocolate to go with it xd

I think a little chocolate in it would be nice as well as lots of people like chocolate.

We are planning on buying charity pins for our guests, we are doing the poppy appeal as it’s a charity close to our hearts but I believe most other charities will sell pins for weddings

Sounds perfect! It’s totally your call what you supply as favours. Some people don’t even put them on the table anymore! X

We’re not having favours.

It’s just a token to say thank you for being there, what you have got sounds lovely and enough to me. We’re going with cancer research favours- broach for ladies and a tie pin for the gents, the charity means a lot to both families so seemed the perfect choice for us. (Also got a little gift each for the kiddies instead)

I made raspberry vodka for the ladies and did little bottle of Jack d for men there was a large jar of mints in the middle of the tables and I did a jar of sweets for kids and colouring books crayons and bubbles to keep them busy whilst the speeches were going on. A candle and some rock sounds lovely xx

More then enough. You're already paying out enough!

And not everyone takes them anyway so think about what do you want left over that you can use / eat yourself!

Everyone who attended our wedding stayed in a hotel locally, this was mostly family and close friends so I did little night cap bags for people to take back to the hotel... hot choc sachet, two Ferrero Rocher and a miniature of Jack D or Baileys. Bought bulk and put together ourselves so for 30 people less than £2 each.

That sounds more than enough :-) We gave everyone either Mario or Princess Peach favour boxes with chocolate coins inside (gaming themed wedding) and they were thrilled

We didn't bother with favours! I don't think anyone was remotely bothered!

Its used to just be sugared almonds so I think that's more than enough. I'm having heart shaped biscuits with the date on and that's it

My guests have got a little hessian sack with wild flower seeds. We’ve gone for a garden party theme and saw the idea on Pinterest.
What you’ve done is lovely and although wedding favours are a kinda expected thing my other half just didn’t get it “why are we giving our guests a present”? Ha bless him x

That’s more then enough x we just had a couple of handmade chocolate truffles as our wedding favours.

My friends bought everyone a lucky dip lottery ticket (when they were £1) and then they announced the numbers live at the party..noone won

Put your candles in a nice laser cut box, you can get 50 on Amazon for £5, and they are lovely

Not everyone gives favours. I am making infused mini gin bottles and homemade fudge for ours

A wedding I was at had little bottles of pink strawberry and cream liqueur for adults and soft drink version for kids on the place mats at the meal... yummy.

I have small organza bags that we are putting a small selection of sweets that we had when we were younger as our wedding favours .... Quick question when is the right time to give them out ? At the wedding breakfast or at the the evening reception?

Were prob not gonna do em. We dont have a seating plan, so where would u put the favours if u have no name tags?

I think that’s more than enough. I’m doing charity pin badges as my wedding favours. Rather spend my money on a good cause instead of something that people won’t use or appreciate.

More than enough. Most people leave them so you really don't want to spend too much

I think that's fine its just a little something you need to go big and expensive most end up getting left on the tables anyway xx
