I'm getting simple pretty boxes to match my invitations and other wedding stationery. Getting everything from the same company as they have worked out a really good price for me. Still deciding whether to have chocs, love hearts or jelly beans inside! I'll post the link on your wall but its worth calling as they don't have everything on their site, I saw them at a wedding fayre.
Other options seem to be charity favours but not sure where or how to get these!

IV GOT mini packets of love hearts pink bon bons and hurshey cookies and cream kisses in plastic boxes with pink bows
I'm thinking of doing standard chocolate dragees in some little birdcage favour boxes I bought and love, and then little gifts like lipgloss and headphone cable tidies in bomboniere's. All I've bought is the favour boxes tho and I'm dithering on the rest!

Rock that you can get your names and date of your wedding printed in? Bookmarks Playing cards plants or seeds wooden roses charity badges Pens with your names and the date on Wooden roses Really it depends on if you have any particular hobbies or interests? Like I collect playing cards which is why it occured to me. If you're really into football (or h2b is) you could get mini footballs. Keyrings. Teddy bears. Cross stitches. Instructions and a piece of card with which to make orgiami versions of your fave animal?

CommentAuthorbridetobe1990
there are so many things to experiment with, you can simply make them yourself, if you type into google wedding favour ideas hundreds come up. we are having a disney themed wedding and we have a low budget so we are making a lot of things ourselves. We are getting little jars filled with different sweets and goodies, these will have pretty curling ribbons around the nech with a name tag and 'Eat Me' on the other side, like in Alice and Wonderland. this then acts as our place setting and favour. you can do allsorts when you put your mind to it. my friend had little chocolate sheep in boxes for men and little net bags she had made herself with homemade chocolate truffles for the girls. its good fun thinking things up. get your bridesmaids together and throw some ideas around you will surprise yourself x

I got 100 organza favour bags from Ebay and I'm going to put chocolate mini eggs inside them - so that they look similar to the (as my sister keeps telling me) "traditional" sugar almonds (yuk! >_< ) only that they will taste alot nicer! =)

CommentAuthoronewilson@btinternet
they are lovely joolsy! i was thinking about the cancer research pins aswell. My H2B's mother died of breast cancer before we met and thought it would be a nice way to acknowledge her.
CommentAuthorClaire Sky
were having lottery tickets for euro millions, because we get married on a friday we want the winning numbers read them out in the evening xxx
CommentAuthorJoolsy
onewilson the cancer research pins are great I love mine and we have personalised the back of them with a picture of my gran and the words "In Loving Memory of Ina Prentice 31.05.1937-16.08.2006 "Simply The Best" that way everyone who attends the wedding will know that they are in memory of my gran and also so that she will be there with me on my big day!! xx

we also managed to find favour boxes in the local poundland they are tux boxes and wedding dress boxes and come in packs of 10 and so far we have mini packs of love hearts to go in them.
we have over a hundred guest so we had to find as many bargains as poss so ebays been brilliant. we've got enoguh for about 150 soap and sweet favours for about £65
i like the little soaps we got tho because it breaks the mould from tradition slightly :-D x
