Wedding raffle tickets??

efazz, 29 April, 2008 at 16:15 Posted on Planning 0 6

Someone has suggested instead of spending lots of money on random favours, that we should purchase a few really good presnets with the money and raffle them off in the speaches i.e everyone gets a raffle ticket on their seat. I think it is a great idea. What do you think? Naff? Genius? If so, where could I get glitzy raffle tickets from?

    I think that's a brilliant idea! Although if it were me I'd probably be naughty and get some really rotten gifts too, just for a laugh ?

    As for where to get the tickets...you could print them youself and guillotine them. That way you can personalise them however you like.

    You could print out supersize ones for the chairs and duplicate them on a smaller scale for pulling out of the hat/sporran/BMs dress...?

    You have to do it and then let us know how it went.

    Not really my cup of tea to be honest. It'd feel like a charity event or a pub quiz. I'd rather have no favours.

    I honestly don't think it's any more naff than sugared almonds or tablet tied up in tulle. Or any other random stuff that often ends up getting left on the table. Bah humbug! ?

    In my mind, a raffle is to raise money for charity. You're not doing that so I'm not sure what the point is.

    Favours aren't necessary, they just add a bit of some fun to the day. If you can't think of anything that goes with your theme then I really wouldn't bother.

    I think it's quite a fun idea and if it fits in with the general feel of the rest of your day then go for it. You know best how this kind of thing will go down with your friends and family. How about if you are having placecards on the table you could put their numbers on the reverse, then have corresponding numbers just printed on plain pieces of card to pick out the winners?
