Wedding Survival Kits.......

Options
Hi

I'm hoping to tap in to your money saving knowledge! Our wedding is at a hotel which we have hired for all our guests to stay in. There are 30 rooms and I want to put in a wedding survival pack as a little joke present for guests when they check in.

This is what i have bought so far:

Paracetemol
Resolve
Party feet

But now i am stuck! i can't think of anything that isn't expensive and even the cheap party feet copies that i have got have worked out a a lot when you times it by 29.

I have ruled out most toiletries as the hotel will be providing them but have thought of those mini deodorants if i can find some cheap in somewhere like home bargains.

Any ideas?
Thanks

    A can of energy drink, freshen up wipes (you can bulk buy individual packs from ebay cheaply), eye masks.

    Great idea btw!

    Condoms???
    Have a look in Primark for party feet - I picked some up there a little while ago adn they were 69p for 2 pairs.
    Mini chocolate bars
    If you know an avon lady/man, they do sample packs of toiletries/perfumes/make up - maybe just a little aftershave/perfume or something in each one?

    Fab idea.....love it!!

    Fantastic idea! I love the note mshelsbels!

    If you go to perfume counters and ask nicely you'll get little sample bottles, ask often enough at enough different counters you'll probably get a decent stash!

    Condoms is actually a good suggestion, it'll make people laugh if anything! You can get little packs of 3 in Home Bargains for 49p!

    How about eye drops for sore post-party eyes?
