I think the homemade fudge is a lovely idea. It adds a real personal touch to your wedding. I am buying our favours as I wont have time to make anything so close to the wedding as I am making our cake. I have lots of ideas swirling around though, im thinking about:
Thank you scrolls, personalised candles, little chocolate squares with a personalised wrapper, giving away a sixpence with a little thank you card. Spent the last hour or so on ebay looking at favours as I'm not sure what I would like to give. I do know that I will be doing 2 charity favours though in remembrance of family that has passed from cancer and alzheimers. x

I think fudge is a nice idea :) people like edible favours haha
Tori-mrs Mitchell 2b, that's a great idea, so unique :)

Im making key rings with peoples names, that way i can cheat and double them up as place names.

My mum is making truffles but we've also got Macmillan cancer pins.

I'm doing crackers. I've bought the outer cardboard bit with the snap inside and thinking of filling them with a bottle of bubbles, some wedding related jokes, a couple of drinks vouchers and maybe a few petals. I'm making my placenames though. Basically it's a chocolate lollipop. I'll just melt some chocolate and then write each guests name in a lighter or darker chocolate once it's set.

Since mine is an xmas wedding, I'm making gold gift boxes, with red ribbon tied around, inside I will have a Cancer pin, (for my Dad who I lost to Cancer 16 mths ago) a Red Choc heart, and a sugar almond, a mix of the old with the new :)

We are having homemade fudge in favour boxes and that way everyone gets the same.

i made bride and groom candles, i bought the glass holders in bulk so it worked out under £1 per erson and they looked really good when lit in the evening, i think home made fudge sounds lovely i know i would be happy to recieve that at a wedding. x

Lysblanc, your favours would go perfectly at my wedding haha (we're having a princess/Cinderella theme and burgundy colour scheme)
Everyone's favours sound great :)

we're doing a sweet buffet for the favours, my sister is designing little bags for the guests to pop their sweets in then she's hand printing them for me. They will have a little birdcage on and say "The Birds" with the date of our wedding on.

my mums 'making' cupcakes for me. she buys supermarket fairy cakes and decorates them with coloured icing and sparkles.
also my younger brother is making me keyrings, one side with all the details from our day and the other a picture of me and h2b x

these are lovely ideas :) where having white choc coins (bought from work with my staff discount when they were bogof at christmas) and then cutting tissue paper (that comes into work inbwtween the layers of clothing so also free :D ) into flower shape and wrapping them round a big, med n small coin and tie with ribbon :) done and cost about £1 by the end of it :D x

little marshmellow squares, coat them in chocolate once they've set ice your initials onto them, put them on sticks and put in cellophane

for anyone doing a sweetie table, there are some brilliant sweetie trees on ebay!!!

We're making our own favours (I want to do them myself now but being good and involving my future mother-in-law hopefully next weekend)

For the adults we are having celephane bags with 5 ivory sugared almonds and 3 mini cadbury dairy milks (the type you use to put in those little red machines) and tied with a purple ribbon - our colour theme is pink and purple and after finding out the purple we were using was called 'Cadbury purple' I thought it would be nice to get mini dairy milk bars in with the almonds (as not everyone likes sugared almonds)

For the children, I've brought party bags (with balloons on) and will fill them with Haribo mini bags, crayons and a colouring book. I'm not sure if we will add anything else in there, we were thinking of adding a little toy or something but not sure what.

It was so much cheaper sourcing everything ourselves from ebay and online stores! I saw you could get 'just married' chocolate coins and when I enquired with our decoration company we were advised it would be £40 for 80 coins!!!! I could buy over double that about for £40!!!

Ive just bought some white organza bags with some like little burgundy heart shaped smartie type things and then some bigger burgundy heart shaped chocs so each favour will be 1 organza bag with some mini chocs and 1 big choc with a thank you sticker on one side and a 3d burgundy or black heart on the other. im also considering throwing in some mint imperials to fill the bags up a bit more haha. (my theme is black, white and burgundy)

oooo humbugs- great idea!!!
