...Favours...

Perhaps not the most imaginative but I got some miniature jars, filled them with traditional sweets (pips) and decorated the lids and put ribbons around them. I'm very proud of them

Ooh nice, do you have any pictures?

Do you NEED favours? This was the first think we cut when discussing budget...as a guest I'd prefer an extra bottle of win on the table....x

They are gorgeous!! Well done you!!

Theme is Cadbury purple i thought these would be the obvious idea-

Lots of other cadbury options too https://www.cadburygiftsdirect.co.uk/favourites/11-dairy-milk.aspx

This was my initial suggestion but H2B doesn't like it...he's such a pain xx

You can get really good quality favours from lightinthebox, they take about a month to arrive, but they have alot of personalised stuff and we paid about £1 a favour. I have silver engraved flip flops and silver graved ships wheel compass's, very pleased with them - they also come in little boxes.

As a guest I always prefer an edible favour to a useless knick-knack. I melted down a 1kg block of cadburys & in different batches added either coconut, nuts, dried fruit, glace cherries etc then put into chocolate moulds. I also swirled in a white block for a marbled effect. You can get those enormous cadburys blocks on sale after fathers' day & at the factory outlet. I got free stickers from vistaprint thanking guests for being part of our special day.

Some other ideas include collecting jars/bottles from relatives or buying from charity shops. Wash & use for jam, chutney or infused oils/vinegars (chilli, garlic, rosemary etc). People won't notice if their jar isnt the exact same shape/size as someone elses.

Marshmallows, biscuits iced with the wedding date on them, fusge, rocky road or any other sweet.

If the theme is purple, what about seed packets of a purple flowering plant like lavender or bulbs for purple hyacinth or tulips?

The hot chocolates are fabulous S! Where did you get the cellophane cones from?

Here's our favours as requested

Awe they are lovely! where did you get all the jars etc? The hot chocolates are a fab idea as well! where did you get the cones from? xx

I don't have a little chef near me I have asked 2 local cafes and they don't use small jars for anything hlt where did you get yours?

I got mine from my friend who works at a National Trust coffee shop but I saw the exact same jam jars in Morrisons the other day for 23p each Let me know how you get on.

Did you have to wait for them to be on offer? I've never seen stickers on the free offer, at least not in my emails.

Ive made wine glass charms that cost about £14 to make 100. Ive also got little organza bags that ive filled with mini love heart sweets, perfume sample, champagne bubbles and a mint in a thank you wrapper which cost £69 to make 100.

Love these, hope you don't mind me stealing this idea to give out to guests after our wedding.
