Spreading the Hitched love...

Storky, 31 May, 2011 at 12:52 Posted on Planning 0 36

The husband and I are in the process of sorting out all of our bits and bobs from the wedding. Some of it we'll be keeping, some we'll be selling on but there are a few items that I think would be nice to simply pass on. Now, this is where you lovely lot come in!

Stolen from the Hitched Sixpence idea, anyone here up for a bit of 'Pay it forward' generosity? My suggestion would be to collate a list of things people are willing to pass on, if they are wanted the recipient can pay the postage and use the items. Once used, the item can then be sent on to another Hitcher to benefit from them.

It's possibly a little unwieldy to start with but I think it would be worth a go.

I need to do some more sorting out first but I'm happy to use my MR & MRS letters as a trial run. I shall dig out a photo.

What do you think? Anyone interested in the letters? Any other OMs with items they wish to contribute? Any other comments/suggestions? I'm not sure how this squares up to the Hitched rules - although I know on BT they sell various items and set out the cost and postage so I think we'd be ok.

    This is a fab idea... don't want the letters myself (I am sure someone else will)! I am waiting to see what else will be offered... will certainly have things of my own I will pass on after my wedding.

    I think that sounds like a gd idea!

    IE I have like 70 heart shaped tea light candles which i'll use to decorate the tables but wont be lighting so i could pass these on.

    And my 'love is sweet' sweetie buffet lettering (either in hot pink or silver, i cant mind what I ordered! lol)

    Would be great to have someone else get use instead of them lying around cluttering.

    Ooooh lovely idea! I will no doubt have lots of things to share after the big day - hate clutter Smiley smile

    Cricket could I have the Mr and Mrs please... or do I need to wait until I can replace it with something else in the chain?

    Ibiza & bls - no problem. Makes sense for me to send it to bls with a view to them coming to you, ibiza. Unless anyone needs them during the next few weeks I shall send them to you, bls. Can you pm me with your address, please? I'll find out what the postage is and let you know.

    I have 2 lots of organza bags that I am happy to pass now. Obviously they cant be passed again but they are of no use to me as they are too small

    They are

    24x Silver Organza Bag 7x10 cm

    48 silver organza 6x8.5 m (I am waiting for a lady at work to bring these back as I was going to give them to her but she is going to use something else now)

    Lovely idea!!

    We have 9 40cm tall lily vases. There was 12 originally but we're keeping 3 to put lilies in as a keepsake for family. It's a strange number to try and sell so don't know if we'd have much luck on ebay with them! Email me if interested Smiley laugh

    Great idea Mrs. Cricket. It would be lovely to see our passed on goods in someone else's wedding photos! I'm sure I'll have some stuff to contribute (probably already have stuff that I've changed my mind about over the last eighteen months of wedding planning!) x

    Great idea CB - would love to use your Mr & Mrs letters however I get married this Saturday so may be a bit short notice ha ha..

    I have 3 love heart table name holders from hobbycraft that I could pass on, 3 is an odd number but if people want them they should be able to buy more as needed from hobbycraft.

    I'll have a think about what else I'll be able to pass on...

    SaSaSi that is great! Just give me a nudge after your date and I can pay you by Paypal or something for the postage, my date is the 10th Sep!

    This is all really exciting!!

    I think this should have it's own mini-forum like The Royal Wedding maybe...

    Hi! I love this idea and am happy to contribute anything I have that I don't use or can pass on afterwards.

    If the Mr&Mrs letters are available for the 23rd June 2012 I would love to borrow them
