Wedding Forum - Wedding favours...

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!

We're having chocolate - Green and Blacks do 3 of their small bars for £1.80 - both h2b and I LOVE chocolate :)

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

we're having personalised chocolates. got them off ebay, 150 for about £25. x

we're having favors from cancer research-pink ribbon badges

I have now got/getting 3 favours:-
A scroll with a poam on (more of a thank you)
Mini cupcakes (some with roses some with hearts on)
A paper red rose (double as name cards)

sweete here too- great bargins on ebay!! - im having ivory love heart chocolates and purple foiled choc coins!! to matach my ivory and purple theme!!

I'm having yankee candle votives for the ladies, they do a lovely candle called Wedding Day, and we havent decided what to get for the men, maybe miniature whiskies, and i cant decide what to get for the children who range from 2 to 13 !!

I don't know what I'm having for favours, but I'm getting married near Christmas so I'm putting favours in crackers!

I've seen crackers used at other times of year though, you can get 'wedding crackers'.

we're ordering from Thorntons... they will have 2 chocs and the box in our colour with our names and wedding date printed on them x x

that sounds really nice... h2b just wants it easy... not easy for him... its his 2nd lol

im having coasters you can make yourself from ebay. just insert guest name/pic and it doubles as inventive favor to take home and a simple place card.

Im having miniture whiskey for men and a pick n mix of sweets with sweetie bags i found on ebay. Im going to buy clear vases and put the sweets in them with little tongs and the ladies/children can pick which ones they like! The sweetie bags look great, come with a personalised tag on them.

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.

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

i have done boxes, that i have tired burgundy ribbon around and put little name tags on so that they can double up as place cards as well (pics on profile) xx

We're having an 'afternoon tea' themed wedding so we're going to put some loose leaf tea either in organza bags or heart shaped tin with labels or stickers with our names and date on them. :)
