  • I have personalised wine glasses from ebay - but you've not got enough time for that! Also ordering extra albums from the photographer - but obviously can't give that on the day.

    Others are doing hampers, jewellery, wine, flowers (supermarket or florist), framed picture...

    its very nice actually thank you.

    This place would be nicer if people didnt feel the need to make insults and witty comments, that are hurtful.
