Yeah you can get like 50 organza bags on ebay for like 4 quid or something ridiculously cheap like that. I am aiming for £10 for 70 favours for the sit down meal. Which is achievable!

This is where I got my bags from but just a word of warning the first ones I ordered were so small you could of only fitted about 5 sweets in so I had to re order the bigger bags x

i'll bear that in mind hopefully the measurements they give will be accurate lol.

Mine are the small ones (2x2.7 inch/5cm x 7cm) and they are just big enough for a small roll of swizzels love hearts..

I think i paid just under 6 pounds for 200 bags, and ended up giving 50 bags away on freecycle! (Just hope i don't end up with anymore than 150 guests hehe)

For the bags which i've put the chocolate mini dragee hearts in, theres 5 chocs per bag but i do think i could do with popping a few more in each one so they are more full. Could probably squeeze another 4 or 5 in each bag. *heads off to ebay to order more dragees* x

Found this site looks like they do some lovely little favours including chocolate pretzels for 70p , heart lolly's and shot glass' for £1.10 they have personalised tags too. postage not that cheap but I'm tempted. (Far too easily tempted by chocolate though).

Violetta, thanks for the link to that site, its great. I bet I could make those chocolate pretzels myself, to keep the cost down even futher! I suppose its all down to time. Would never have thought of using pretzels.

The pretzels look yummy don't they I showed my oh and he was not impressed wit the idea of them (sure you used to be able to buy little 1's a few years ago and they were yummy). But he likes the look of the other lollipop type things.
I think when you think you get the personalised tag's wee ribbons and yummy choc it's good value. I'm thinking of the heart lollys. MMM might have to order some to do a taste test, just to check you understand.

Have you tried The Wholesale Wedding Supplier? You don't have to be a retailer to buy from their website. The prices are really low, the more you buy, the lower the price. My friend uses them all the time. She co-ordinates weddings

Their company is not registered under the company house. I ordered some fake roses from these guys at the tune of about 75 pounds, i never received anything. I took them to small claims court and the documents were sent back to me. I forked out a 25 pound fee for that claim that I never was able to recover. Their registration details for their trading website are fake since parts of it ar ein germany, others in hong kong etc... They have been reported to trading standards but there is hardly anything they can do about it. Paypal is not interested as the type of transactions the site generates are not covered by the fraud clauses.

Avoid like the plague.
