Default Moustache on a stick?!

I'm looking for a moustache on a stick.. probably a strange request, but I've seen a lot of brides do this on offbeatbride.com, and I thought it would be a fun addition to the day!

I've found them on Etsy , but they work out to be £66 for 4, which I think is quite pricey just for a moustache on a stick.. surely there must be some cheaper? Just wondered if anyone else is doing this at their wedding, or if anyone knew where I could buy them a bit cheaper?

Thanks

you could make them very easily
go to fancy dress type shop and buy the plastic moustaches and then get some long wooden kebab stick type things and stick the moustaches on would definetly cost a hell of a lot less than £66...maybe more like £5

Off topic, but the guy on the far right of that pic is gorgeous!

I would make them. Several girls on the knot have made them and they turned out fab.

I saw in Peacocks today they had packs of plastic moustache's, about 8 in a pack for £3, you could glue a stick on yourself?

I have no idea the relevance to weddings etc though??

I was confused by it all too so I did a little googling.

Seems that some people give them as favours. Basically as far as I can tell it's just something daft to do for the photos! If you've got the right bride and groom and appropriately minded guests, they could be fun.

Some quality photos here!

http://www.mergeweddings.com/posts/e...wear-a-stache/

In fact, their wedding looked something pretty special (well, isn't everyones!) they had a circus themed wedding. You can see the details here: http://www.mergeweddings.com/posts/e...maine-wedding/









and yes... I know they're not technically on a stick... but fun looking all the same!
