    We have been to a few weddings as evening guests and if i remember correctly they had gift list's included in them.

    Our wedding invites being bars of chocolate (having cadbury purple colour scheme). didn't have enough room to give all our info on, so we designed the wrapper to direct our guests to RSVP via a website that we made which has all our info on including gift list.
    so didn't have this dilemma, but if we hadn't gone with chocolate and had card invitations i would of included gift list in day and night guests x

    Yes i was unsure and nearly didn't but the fear of ending up with 5 toasters overode the fear of it 'not being the right thing to do' xxx

    Hi brideInTraining we made them ourselves. we used Galaxy cookie crumble 119g bar of chocolate as we liked the colour of the second inside wrapper took of the original outside label and used a pritstick to glue our ones on with. if you are going to make you own just remember to get same thickness of paper that chocolate bar comes in. if you dont want to do it yourself you can get them from the bay but they are expensive for what you get, thats why we did our own each invite only cost £1 and 35p for the envelope hope this helps x

    i stuck out poem in the day and night invites as they also had directions on and i couldn't be bothered to do them different hahaha also i wouldn't ever turn up to a wedding without something they want or at least some cash so i always find a gift list helpful
