yeah! or if not, just go to google image and type in "flower cookie", "butterfly cookie" "leaf cookie" "eiffel tower cookie" "bagpuss cookie" etc etc LOL get it? heeheheh! :j

Then type in 'how to make ______ cookies on sticks' on something similar, there is a website called ehow which gives you step by step guides to all sorts of things to make and do.

I wonder if you could put a bit of wire or something in the dough when they come out of the oven, cookie dough is usually fairly soft until it cools? Then the face down would be the bit you ice

my theme is black and white, i got 100 black and white favour boxes and black and white heart shaped chocolate dragees to fill them.
i spent £40.
they look so pretty.
im sure you can get boxes/dragees to fit with your colour scheme

I got little candles and organza bags in the confetti sale, and its worked out to 67p per person!! Worth a look at confetti but warning the site often runs reaalllllyyyyy slow!

We had silver organza bags filled with white and pink small heart shaped chocolate dragees. Cost around £30 and we had loads of spare dragees!! I got the dragees from the Hitched site and the bags from ebay.

HTH!

We had a bit of a Love Hearts 'theme' (the love heart sweets I mean) so my mum made the cake (3 layers, one choc, one sponge, one fruit) plain white iced and decorated with love hearts. Bit like this one http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://sarah-cakes.com/image/lovehearts2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://sarah-cakes.com/&usg=__q6qo-VRepzoQJsbRlSBv_8GZdFU=&h=369&w=300&sz=45&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=60BDDYMnuvuQkM:&tbnh=122&tbnw=99&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dlove%2Bhearts%2Bwedding%2Bcake%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4ADBF_en-GBGB255GB256%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1

So then our favours were mini packets of love hearts which also doubled as the place cards as the name tags were attached.
Big bag of sweets worked out at only a few pence per 'roll' of sweets.

We got married on 5 November so we had bonfire toffees (Asda 3 bags for a £1)and wrapped them in gold organza bags with gold hearts on tied with gold ribbon which I got from Hobbycraft. Very simple and effective. Didn't cost much at all and I had lots left over to eat mmm
