    im sure lots of you girls have lots of ideas....
    im on a tight budget but dnt want to go for no favours at all but on the other hand id like something better than sweets something they could keep and would be reminded of us with but having a tight budget is proving to make this difficult if anyones got any ideas id love to hear them

    cant seem to write on your wall shelly! i have put the link on my wall so you can go have a look.

    notice you are from Scotland too, they do litle whisky bottles with any surname on the label. I am putting my own surname on them as a final goodbye before i take my H2B's surname! they also provide little favour boxes to put the whisky in. V. cute

    I cant be bothered to faff about making my own favours up (think I might be working right up to wedding day so want to avoid as much labour as possible!) so thinking about having them done by Thorntons at £2.50 a head, 4 choccies in a box to match my colour scheme. That way I dont have to worry!

    I got 100 mini wedding scrolls for about £25 on the bay of E.
    We had about £100 budget for favours, so we got enough money to buy more.
    Been looking at wooden roses for the women and its 100 for £15, but cheaper if you want less than 100.

    We're going to double up. We made table place cards so folk know where they are sitting and these can also be used as favours. They turned out really nice and have the guest's name on them, the country of origin, the name meaning and a famous person with the same name! I think its a great idea to get guests talking and at the same time very very personal to each and every one!!!xxx
