Costco do cupcakes already decorated that look really pretty, maybe thats an option for you?

They also make cakes that are huge already iced with anything you want on it for £9.99

the only problem with costco cupcakes are HUGE like giant muffins, you get 12 in a box for £9.99 and they come in a mixture of vanilla and chocolate. IMO they are a bit too big but some people might like that.

I found a picture of the pink M&S ones on internet. They look fab! What size are they jayjay?

I could still get a top tier and a cutting block if needed and it would still be cheaper. They only thing is the paper cases that they are in. I suppose I could wrap some ribbon round them.

I would say they are about the size of an average muffin? they're quite big but not huge. I have a 7 tier cupcake stand and i reckon i could easily fit about 90-100 on it, although i need 120 they can stay in a box. They are lovely and they have a filled center depending on the flavour, i've tried the lemon ones. You could buy some cases cheaply and just put the cupcakes (including original case) in the cases?

Invites - making myself, bought all the stuff to do them for £20 from Hobbetcraft

Favours - EBAY!!! yey!

As well as invites you'll need place cards, order of service (possibly) and maybe menu cards to add a nice touch.

Favours on ebay, you could do 100 favours for about £10 i reckon including organza bags (if you want them) and the fillings, if traditional, dragees and sugared almonds.

Well, luckily our venue is doing table plan, place cards, menu's etc for us..

as for favours, i found a nice ebay site which sells the organza bags and the chocolates to put in them, and they are in our colour scheme, will cost £15 max!
