Thank you for all your help on helping me choose the compact mirrors shown in my photo album.
I recently went down to my dads so that my sisters can try on their bm dresses, and my mum said that she has got three mini drinks bottles for each male coming to the wedding. Now i am not sure the the mirrors will be enough sat next to the three alcoholic bottles, that the men shall recieve.
Do you think i should get something else for the women, maybe some of the traditional favours (but 5 chocolates or mints instead of sugar almonds), or do you have another suggestion?

I got the personalised compact mirrors as well.. The guys are getting beer glasses with their name on it... I have saw sumwere some one used after dinner mints as favours, i love those too, but i'm sure they will be happy with whatever gift they get as they are there for you... :)
i have got some mini perfume bottles for the women and aftershave for the men off the ever helpful ebay got samples for the favours and mini bottles for the top table (BM, GM, BM) worth a try and they not too expensive or even try avon they often have small bottles,if not try a small bottle of wine for the ladies
CommentAuthorjodie b
i think it'll look ok if not give them 2 bottles and give the women 1? but i think it'll look goo anyways cause the ladies will have theirs to keep xx

I have got the same favours for the men and women, pics on profile as describing them always sounds rubbish, lol. For the kids though I have ordered little ivory buckets filled with sweets, and tied with ribbon and a tag with our name and date on it. We have a few babies as well and I thought I would get the buckets but put a cute bib and socks in it. If you did decide on getting the women something else then chocs will always go down well, lol, or if it is a hot day you can get a nice fan for them, but as has already been said, they get to keep their mirror, whereas the men will just drink theirs and it is gone, lol. x
Finally reunited with the love of my life
