I'm going to my favourites on the table for day guests. And then have some extra that I will put on the table near the cake for anyone to take.

I'm doing day guests only because we aren't having evening guests, even so I would still only do day guests.

tbh no one really takes the favours we had loads for our guest to take and not many people took them so we had them for evening as well we had some on tables during the day and loads on a tree next to the guest book,were they could put all our cards/presents down :) so then both lots of guest could take something just a little thank you for coming x

Charity donation you don't have to worry about people leaving them behind and your helping whatever great cause you chose x

I did favours for day guests only but choose wisely - chocolates, sweets, candles, engraved jars etc can often be left behind. We did a "build your own lego figure" station as ours and everyone loved it! Not one got left behind.

I did a sweetie bar for everyone on the night and also had home made wands and toy owls too (harry potter theme) i ended up javing to steal wands for me and hubby! For over 100 it cost about 10 quid as we made ourselves so didnt really matter if they were left x

My sister did homemade tablet and she put them out on the evening. I took about 5,but that's because I'm a fiend for tablet

I think it's meant to be for those who are there during the day only as they go on the table during the wedding breakfast. But I'm sure you could do a couple extra to dot around the buffet table for the evening guests if they want them x
