Wedding Forum - What are you having as wedding favours!...

Bump

Thanks Glitterfairy!

Some good ideas on here. Unfortunately our venue doesn't allow food and drink but I like the idea of the candles and the lottery tickets but a friend recently had lottery tickets..

An easier option may be to leave these to the oh as he's more creative!

Ages ago I saw personalised mms which I thought would be perfect for us as favours as that's what all our friends call us, however as our wedding is now potentially in Verona then I think they might melt. I am now thinking I may be brave and make biscotti as favours- I've made it before and it's yummy- GBBO each your heart out lo

Our personalized m&m's were popular, loads of people commented on them. Once I get a professional pic of them on the tables I will post (there is a photo on our photographers blog post but I can't steal it from there)

Since were having afternoon tea were giving biscuits as wedding favours. I ordered some cookie cutters of eb@y although I never read the sizes and they turned up realy small haha so now everyone is getting 4 small biscuits rather than either a large bride or groom. Just need to practise my iceing skills now :) x

We've got personalised shot glasses - our families love a good drink!!

Ours worked out at almost £3 per person but I love them, they were the first thing I bought after we secured the date! xx

We have gone bit overboard with our favours, women are getting candles with our names and dates on and on the back thank you for sharing our special day on the back, The men are getting either lottery tickets or scratch cards. We bought boxes to put candles in but were too small so filled them with chocolates and sweets and everyone will be getting a box, bought bridesmaid and flower girl and my mum a special present as well x

I like your idea Danielle - it keeps costs down!! We've already put a vintage bus on from our home town - church - venue for our guests to save them on transport costs so I didn't want to spend much and we're having the candy Ferris wheel

Ok great thanks for letting me know costs, I thought it wasn't to badly priced. Aw Danielle, I love that idea

Lindsey I got 72 jars from the bay for about £28 can send you the link if you like xx

Ive posted on your wall the link to the shop on the bay ill also pop up the ones i bought xx

Favours end up getting left behind so not sure it's worth spending lots on- I like homemade things as seems really personal but then I love retro sweets and little jars too :-)

Gingerbread with a funny message or our names. It will be winter time :D

I want to go a little overboard and give our lady friends a fan and our gentlemen friends a 'lucky' sixpence.

With the good old bay tho should still come in less than £2 each.

I have bought personalised love hearts and will put a bowl of them on our sweetie table and a bowl by our guest book as we aren't having a sit down meal.

We're having a characaturist so our favours will be those to take away with them.

We're having a falconer deliver the rings by owl in the ceremony and give a display at the reception, so my MiL has knitted little owls in different colours for everyone to take home. We might also make bird seed hearts to go around their necks or make a donation to rspb etc.

We're having little jars filled with love heart mints, which have a vintage style fabric cover and a tag that says our names, Mint to be and the date of our wedding.

I've done little fabric bags for the children and have put in sticker books, crayons, sweeties, colour in and make your own pirate hat & princess crown and a soft toy. Hopefully that will keep them occupied during the wedding breakfast!!!

we are having very simple favours, all of our family are quite sweet toothes and we have a fair few children coming. so we are having red organza bags and inside each one will be a packet of personalized love hearts and 5 heart chocolate drages. I got the whole lot off of the bay for under £60 and thats for 150 guests. Any left overs my children wouldn't mind having haha. We are also having them displayed under a sign saying please take one and thank you for making our day sweeter!

Hi, we are having theres with each persons name on, they will act as their name place card too!! x

I'm doing a goody bag for the Children with an activity book, some sweets, a small lego set and a hot chocolate cone. We haven't really decided for the adults yet. We like the idea of the personalised candles and may go for a miniature for the men if the venue allow it, if not we may do scratch cards. I will be putting some disposable cameras on the tables as well.
