    Me too, we have personalised labels on little packs of love hearts they look really cute, we were going traditional with sugared almonds but i was concerned about nut allergies, you can choose a mix, maybe a few organza bags in your theme colour of mint imperials for example :D

    There are loads of thing honey on the bay of e :D.

    Traditionally i think its meant to b 3 sugared almonds. Can't remember what for but i know that's a definate!

    We were just doing cadbury's chocolate eclair sweets in an organza bag for everybody.
    I've seen Chocolate lollies shaped in to butterflies and roses
    Depends on how big you want to go or what theme you have.
    I think personalised chocolates are a good way to go :D xx

    Traditionally it's 5 sugared almonds, each one is supposed to stand for health, wealth, happiness, long life and fertility.

    I'm having gold dragees to go with a gold theme. Look it up online.

    I have several favours put up in my photo album, a compact mirror, keyring or soap.
    the males are getting mini whisky bottles
    Thinking of getting some purple foiled chocolate love hearts to go with the mirrors, as my mum said last week she has three minitures for each guy

    My favours will only cost me £50-60 max, so i dont see it being a great big waste of money , but i do understand if you are on a tight budget it could go to better use else where

    I've considered doing my own version of a sweetie buffet (but not paying a company to do it for me!) and have a fishbowl with sweets doubling as my table centrepieces. My dad's a card-carrier of more cash n carry places than I can count, so job-lots are easy to come by, even if it's not the cheapest!

    I'm going for the sweet buffet idea for the evening, as we are only having a small wedding breakfast and most of my friends wouldn't get a favour otherwise, and I'd like them to! Plus I love sweets and think it's a fun idea!

    But a little stuck on what to have for favours at the meal! I like the mini egg idea, but my wedding's in the summer, not Easter! And I'm worried chocolates may melt if it's hot...
