    We are hopefully having Amaretto minatures for the men and I still need to find something for the ladies!
    We are also having black satin drawstring bags with lollies and sweets.


    eta: shell reminded me! We are having cards with our names and dates on too, I'm ordering cool business cards from Vistaprint then cutting them into tag shape :-)

    I ordered business cards from there that I will be using as place cards. A little DIY involved but they are cute-they say 'Thank you for coming to our wedding, Wednesday 27th July 2011' then have a space for us to write the guests name on them and at the bottom have written 'Lots of love Mr & Mrs xxx'

    Best bit is they match our save the dates and colour scheme and were free!

    I've seriously abused Vistaprint free stuff! So far have got: Save the Date magnets, RSVP postcards to go in my handmade day invites, evening invites, cards for the favours and so far 2 x t-shirts one just married and 1 that says Mrs Rxxxxx for the day after the wedding :T
  • Toffee apples, were getting married on bonfire night and everything is bonfire colours.

    csh - I love amaretto and i'm female so why not have them for the ladies too? All my mates love amaretto too, makes fantastic cocktails!

    Fly - i love your favours

    I am either getting these O Favours Box or Charming Favour Box. I can't decide which one I want, I really like both of them, I am inclined to go for the cheaper product, but love the little favour boxs with the initials. I could of course buy a few big boxes of their pearl chocolates or thins O's and create my own which would probably work out fairly reasonable otherwise.

    Hello I noticed that people have been saying that things are free from Vista print but when I have looked it has been free until you get to postage and its £5.99 per item, is this just me or can you get them for completley free? Thanks
    :jHas saved so much money since joining this forum, thanks to all you kind people out there :j

    Lego minifigures which will hold little cocktail sticks with peoples' names on so they can double as place card holders. We will try to match the figure to the person, but it could be a bit tricky with the ones that are available and not knowing which ones you have until you open the packet (which we're not going to do until the day or we'll lose all the little pieces).
