im having a sit down meal in daytime for 50 ppl. My colour theme is fushia pink. Im looking for ideas on cheap and cheerful favours. im looking at doin extra for nite time guests if possible. any ideas
CommentAuthorKinkyemo
we are having Poem scrolls! With ribbon in our colour! and some home baked cookies!
Sugar almonds are nice and cheap too and come in some fantastic colours and the bags to put them in are really cheap on the bay!
Or handmade bracelets for the ladies and whiskey or cigars for the boys!
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
Croc made some lovely handmade cuff links and bracelets for her wedding and they were only £1 each but look amazing. I would be more than happy if someone gave me one of those.
I also like the baking idea with the biscuits and you can also ice them with the names of the guests to double up as place cards too.
CommentAuthorVintageChic
i like the idea of home made tablet and fudge.... if i were to have a bigger wedding thats what i would do
nothing wrong with some sugared almonds they are cheap cheerful and traditional

Awww Lisa they are lovely and wouldn't be that hard to make or cost that much either.
CommentAuthorFlossie
I made some wine glass charms that cost less than £1 each, and whatever you decide to go with you can get little organza bags really cheap. x

CommentAuthorRachie :D
At Christmas you get tubes of sweets for £1 - well some of these tubes have a very long shelf life - we got tubes of fruit pastels and dairy milk for 30p a tube in the Jan sales this year and they had until September on them - in the dairy milk tubes you get 15 sweets - so bags/ boxes you could have the filling for 10p per person xxx

Good idea about the January sales, I want a candy buffet and doing it that way should save quite a bit.

I bought 500 chocolate hearts in the sale after valentines day they each have a sack of 3 hearts and I still have a million left! Looking to put them in a bowl or something by the cake they cost me £15 for 500
CommentAuthorRach (Mrs H)...
we are having personalised love heart sweets from bay of e . They came last week, and are so fantastic £37.50 for 200 packets :o) i agree its a hard decision though , we deliberated for weeks before deciding! x x
CommentAuthorRachie :D
We've decided not to go with sweets as we're having a candy buffet. Also I would say to anyone having sugared almonds remember your nut allergy sufferers I know id be ok not eating them and being around them on the table but my friend would have a reaction if someone in the same table was eating them Xx

CommentAuthorClarabella
You dont need to do any favours. Its an extra cost that you could use the money elsewhere. Look at it this way its a waste of money as look how many actually get left behind and forgotten about. Yes they do look nice on the table but thats why you have table decorations. I doubt anybody would notice that you dont have any favours either XxX

If cheap is the number one priority I would suggest some wedding themed bubbles, they are cheap and cheerful. I got mine from here: LINK REMOVED - PLEASE READ THE RULES THREAD Another cheap idea I am doing is getting some glass jars or mint tins and then I am going to fill them with jelly beans and haribo sweets to create a real colourful look. best of luck to you x

Breast cancer care do wedding favour pins, theyre £1.50 per person, and thats what we're doing, that way the money goes to chairty, rather than more sweets half the people will leave behind at the table x

Lottery tickets a pound a head, lol. x
CommentAuthorMrsRowan2be
I wanted to spend £1 or less per person as we have approx 90 guests (although 15 of those are children which I will be making activity packs for). I like the idea of charity pins for women, perhaps those little cigars for the men, but as everyone doesn't smoke would this be right?! H2B is a smoker so he would love it, as much as I have told him there is no wedding if he doesn't quit. We are also having a sweet buffet so trying to steer clear of anything edible. xx
