    Not at all!

    I quite like mint imperials - probably most people do. Not everyone likes sugar almonds.

    It wouldn't be terrible but I did do this myself and it wasn't a great hit. I used heart shaped mints that had "I do" and "Mr & Mrs" wrote on the front, they were lovely BUT they got left and most people went for the chocolates although they weren't really my favours, I had candle holders for everyone. I didn't mind though, as the mints were cheap I didn't feel like it had gone to waste.

    yeah the bags are like 7cm by 9cm so they're not small so i think eclairs maybe a better idea xx

    i think making a mix would work well, as someone else said, perhaps some with eclairs, and some with mint imperials.

    We bought a couple of huge boxes of mixed ferreros from the supermarket to put in little organza bags just for something pretty on the table they had them with coffee after the meal. Also did our own sweet buffet ourselves as the big favour.

    Nothing wrong with that :) I'm having chocolates in a tube lol, bay hobby, alot of people feed them to their kids or leave them behind anyway so I don't think it's an area that you need a huge budget for. At least no one will have an excuse for coffee breath! Xxx

    i think it sounds like a great ieda, not everyone will take them home anyway, I had loads left over from my first wedding so im not doing anything expensive this time around either. x

    I think mint imperials sound great, much better than sugared almonds IMO. the last wedding I went to everyone was given a pretty box with sugared almonds and nearly all of them were left behind (I took the box and ditched the almonds!) so there i dont think there is much point in going to too much trouble

    Nobody likes sugared almonds but nearly everyone appreciates a mint or chocolate. I think chocolate limes are nice. They would be good if you are having a summery pastel green colour scheme. x

    I think it's a great idea if you want to have favours. I have been agonizing about favours and have now decided not too have them. I have been to weddings without favours and did not miss them. I have decided to have a sweets table instead, with personalised lovehearts and kitkat wrappers (both can be bought cheaply on the bay of e), plus lollipops, mints, penny sweets etc.
    Go for what you feel comfortable with.
    On a personal note: if I went to a wedding with mint imperial favours I would probably nick as many as I could as I looooove mint imperials ;0)

    I think thats a much better idea than sugar Almonds as not everybody likes them, but most people like mints =)

    Ooooh! I just had a thought, mint imperials would be better as so many people have nut allergies these days!
