    Ooh beautiful!! You are so creative!

    Did you order your m&ms from america? I looked into this but thought you couldn't order in UK and the postage bumped cost up a bit too much

    They look fab. I couldn't work out why your hand was in the pic but then realised they probably didn't show against the rug...?

    Honeysparkle - My hand was in the pic because my camera 'auto focused' on the rug the whole time!

    Wherts - The M&M's are from the uk 'MyM&Ms' site. We did look into getting them from the US as they have loads more colours and you can have pictures printed on them too, but the US department just would NOT ship outside US and Canad, (even though it says they are happy to ship internationally?). I later found out its because some American M&M's have 'E' numbers that are illegal in Europe!

    Donna - Yes that's the one!

    Childrens boxes were 10 boxes for a fiver-ish from eBay. This link is from my purchase history so I hope it works:

    Flow: Beer can coolers were from American eBay. I saw them on a wedding blog and HAD to have them, unfortunately I couldn't find anywehre in the UK that sold them. This is the link to my 'special' listing for 80 coolers, but the seller was super duper helpful and so contact her if you are interested:

    Looks great!

    I really want to have wine charms if we have favours, OH said everyone would just forget them but I think I might look into making them anyway. Where did you buy the bits for them?

    I love M&Ms too so I might just copy you ?

    You can get 100 silver letters for 99p on eBay (although random assortments, or single letters!). And 100 wine charm ring-things for £2.50. The pearly beads were from The Range.

    The M&M colours were white and ivory (but it's more biscuit that ivory! It matched the Mr & Mrs labels well though) as I don't really have a colour scheme, and though all-white might look like a box of pills...

    If you wanted to make life easier, or save more pennies, you could always use whatever cheap beads, and just the guests initial(s). Of course you would need proper place cards too, unless you want your guests to play 'guess whose seat this is' haha!

    Wonderful ideas - so creative :-)

    I didn't realise M&Ms can be personalised - went to M&M world in London in half term (sooo worth a visit!) and loved the colours they have

    I've got all my bits for making my wine charms - but its sure not easy to put thread them on!

    I've only made a test one so fart its ended up all bent out of shape and Im wondering if my rings are a little bit smaller than they should ideally be.

    Has anyone whose made these already got any advice?
