A lot of ladies on here are doing a sweetie jar table filled with sweets from their's & their h2b's childhood :)
CommentAuthorMrs Alsbetty
yeah be cool we were thinking of hiring an icecream stall or van but a bit too expensive but we may do if we have some spare cash we want a bouncy castle too but again depends if can afford the extra
Enjoying being a wifey!!
Currently baking a small person at last, took a while :)
CommentAuthorcuddlez80
i think a pick n mix stand is a good idea although there may be a few hyper young children around , if u got room how about a bouncy castle all adults love them wether they admit it or not lol
CommentAuthorcatch
l am haveing a pick n mix sweet bowl but l am pre bagging them (hygiene thing) they will go out with the buffet so the kids eat dinner first and the big kids lol x
i found a site that supplys you with a cinema style pick and mix counter and all the bags which looks pretty cool. might look in to a candy floss stand, the bouncy castle sounds like a good idea so will look into that
CommentAuthorcatch
oh wow, my bags where just going to be clear with colour ribbon on them l bought them on e-bay can you post the site with the really kool bags please ta x
CommentAuthorMrs Alsbetty

We're planning on having an ice cream van, H2bs uncle has his own home made ice cream company and vans. Hopefully hes going to create us a special flavour for the day. xx
CommentAuthorEmmiloo
A pick and mix stand sounds amazing! I want a ton of sweets at my wedding, just not sure how to go about it yet lol.
CommentAuthorKaya

CommentAuthorRoxii
We're thinking of having a table dedicated to Sweeties! :) jars filled.. Or we might fill jars with different sweets and scatter them round the tables... :) like centerpieces.. but with a difference.. maybe sprinkle pink rose petals around them.. :) x arrrr yeah I like that idea bestest! :) ooooh happy now.. just saved a bomb on centerpieces! x
CommentAuthorLucie
i would be very happy at your wedding! i love sweets. We're gonna have sweets as favours but just cant quite agree for any length of time which one to go for as our childhoof favourite! i do like the idea of a jar on each table... gives table names then! oohh might just do that! x
CommentAuthorCarolanneJune
yes that sounds soooooo cool xxxxx
CommentAuthorVx Debz xV
All sounds pretty good to me, I also have a huge sweet tooth, and am a big kid.. We're searching for things to really make it "our Day" and encorporate our personalities into the whole thing :)
CommentAuthorRoxii
Well, we looked into the pick n mix counter but found that it's like £400 for the stand, then £100 for the sweets!! Omg... Tooo much money.. If we save loads of different jars and just fill them up, it'll be soo much cheaper :) x
CommentAuthordeedee
Roxii really loving the idea of jars of sweets as centre pieces mite copy that idea thanks xx
CommentAuthorRoxii
No worries. I'm not telling my family yet though.. I can't keep things to myself, so this place is heaven.. Means I can tell people our ideas (cause my H2B is a genius.. lol he has some good ideas too), without my sister finding out.. She'll copy me with everything she can.. lol, she's only getting married 'cause I am. And, she's doing it before mine.. so as long as I keep things sshtum til september 1st... then she can't copy me! mind you, I think her budget is like £300 or something stupid. hahaha. Anyway, enough ranting about my sister :P x
CommentAuthorbridetobe1990
wow it would be more than cool it would be original however where would you have to go to inquire into such a thing??
CommentAuthorkittykat1986

CommentAuthorauntiewoo
I have bought some cut glass bowls from charity shops to put sweets in as centrepieces. Works out really cheap-about 25p for each bowl and sweets from poundshop! xx
CommentAuthorkittykat1986

CommentAuthorSoonMrsHingley
I'm so glad i'm not the only one thinking about sweet jars or stands I wasn't sure if it would go down well but I love the idea, I found a place that sells all different sized retro jars and they're really cheap to buy. And another website with all the sweets, scoops and bags. Love the cinema style stand sounds great fun. xx
CommentAuthorpanther_87k
