how about a slice of he wedding cake on the table with little name cards saying mr..... and mrs.......

another great idea. Also just thought they have a post box for all their cards and stuff so i could take those up and any presents they have. Whatever happened to a carrier bag for the cards!!!

I bought ribbon and a bow for our car for about £1.60! 6m of ribbon and one of those pull bows for the front. It was from ebay - they had loads of different colours - don't know whether they had what you were looking for!

How do these fix onto car? I'm not the most artistic of people! i will have a look on ebay..

Can't remember if someone mentioned it but how about their favours on the table?

I bought this one just in red wedding car ribbon

Sorry for hijacking your thread OP - just trying to rack my brains! My OH will need chocolate - he is a chocoholic!

Two of my daughters decorated their sister's bridal suite, they used artificial rose petals on the bed but as the happy couple were going on honeymoon the next day they made up a small hamper with champagne, chocolates etc for them to have when they came back.
The thing their sister loved most though were some instant photos taken during the day on a borrowed polaroid camera, they took them on honeymoon and a couple of them still have pride of place on the bookcase 4 years later!

Hiya...sorry OP mind if I highjack too pretty please...It might help you with ideas maybe...

My mum is getting married 2 weeks 2morro and I'm wanting to decorate the cottage we are staying in the night before for her in the morning-if that makes sense.

I'm going to have candles burning with a yankee wedding day one, Nice cheery but calm and relaxing cd made up. I'm also doing a breakfast buffet-so she doesn't have to sit down and eat but nible-with croissonts, baquettes, lots of fresh fruit, a couple of balloons, I've stolen all her old photo's and albums and going to buy a big album and arrange them all.

Didn't think about doing something at night...might do the rose petals idea...

don't mind anyone 'hijacking' the thread the more ideas the better! I really like the idea of instant photos, i wonder if i was clever enough to take photos email them through to someone they could print them off and bring to night time do for me, do you think the hotel would even do it for me (for a charge of course!) ... Dont think i know anyone with an old polaroid... Just trying to get hold of a picnic basket now to put nibbles in, can't really think of much though other than crisps and chocolate, I could put some stuff in a cool bag and take out at last minute but not sure what....???

It's our wedding - my OH was looking through the catalogue when we were choosing our balloons and saw a pingu balloon and has had it in his head ever since that that is what he wants!
