Do me a favour......

Green & Blacks miniature chocolate bars tied with a ribbon.

We're having chocolate initials for our guests

We had cookies

We had mini-thank you scrolls secured with red roses.

Were not having any really, they will have a Granny Smith apple as a place name and doubling up as a favour!

Although we are having a sweetie buffet along with the evening buffet also. x

We had favour boxes in the shape of a bride & groom from poundland, 10p per one! I then made the chocolates to go inside. I bought tobelerone bars & plain chocolate. Melted, added glace cherries to some, coconut, raisins and dried fruit in others and put into heart shaped moulds. Home made, delicious & cheaper than shop chocolates.

I'm attempting to make Jam & Chutneys ?

My theme is butterflies so im painting wooden ones and attaching ribbon with a luggage tag......for the ladies....the boys are getting mini dairy milks in a purple bag.....same luggage tags attached....

Homemade toffee apples ?

I'm half Welsh, half Scottish, so we're having mini Welsh lovespoons for the ladies and mini Scottish whiskies from my Dad's clan for the gents, both tied with teal ribbon (teal has become our colour). Planning to provide teal pashminas for the ladies too.

Not particularly inspiring, but either good old fashioned sugared almonds, or home made truffles in something like this

We had glass jam jars with red spotty lids and blue ribbon, filled with sweeties.

As we're getting married on Easter Sunday we're having egg cups with a cadbury creme egg in and chocolate bunnies for the children.

My brother had t-towels with their name and wedding date on, my other friend had little bottles of rum for men and home made lavendar bags for the women, friend who got married at xmas had crackers, another friend had their name printed on packets of m&m's.....hope this helps!

My colours are purple and white.

Im having charity cards with pins on them and putting them in small purple envelopes with there names on in silver then adding little diamontes too.

That way they double up as place cards too and also spread the word for the chosen charity. We are havin champaigne and canopes later a 4 course meal and eve buffet and free bar so a little choc on a plate wont get noticed i think.

Bees wax candles at the wedding and these...

For the blessing in orange striped bags with personalised thank you stickers

Were having sticks of rock with our names on! Cant wait to see what they look like!

We're not having favours.

Seed bombs from seed I've harvested over the summer. A mixture of Californian poppy, summer pansies and french marigolds.

I was going to make homemade rocky roads but now looking at the boxes we've bought it'd be difficult to make them small enough to fit.

so now thinking of giving people everyone a couple of "celebrations" chocolates or something - they are only £5 a tin at the moment so very cheap. but i'm worried people will think it comes across as cheap too IFYKIM! what do you girls reckon!?

Could you not make rocky road and then use a cutter to make them small enough? Or make fudge or something if you're worried about the celebrations. If you put 5 celebrations in they'd just take the place of almonds so would be fine.

We didn't bother with favours, but I made origami boats for the tables and had some sweets in them, so they could be shared by everyone on the table.

We are having mini cupcakes or cake pops (not decided which yet) but our catering company are doing them! They will be wrapped in cellophane tied with ribbon, they will also have little labels with names on so they double as place cards.

If you decide on traditional favours, we would be happy to offer advice and can provide nets & favour boxes in many designs to match your colour theme. We can also provide the components if you would like to make them yourself.

We had these;

sweets plus teacups which doubled up as place settings- my mum bless her bought everyone a lottery ticket- out of 62 guests we won a total of £6.....
