Favour Jars

in Weddings & anniversaries
Afternoon,

I've been thinking about doing sweets for the kids at our wedding and have finally decided that I want to do them a smallish jar each.

Does anyone know of any shops where I would find jars like this one relatively cheap?

Not bothered about the shape it's more the closing lid I like as I know my 8 year old daughter has no problem getting in them.

I had a quick look in Stockton highstreet today but all I could find was huge ones.

I was going to fill them with jelly rings and hearts and put name tags on them.

Thanks :D

    Oh wow, I had no idea that they were so cheap! Might get some of these for our favours. I was thinking of doing one jar of sweets per table with a mini scoop, rather than individual favours. :)

    They would be brilliant. I might have to steal that idea too. I was thinking little buckets for the kids at ours as it is at a seaside location, but these seem a great price too!

    These are little buckets at a cost of 69p each, although you have to buy 100................. Sorry kinda hijacked the thread, i'll get back to looking for jars :-)

    I know - let me know if you find then. I am going to put little pirate flags for the boys and windmills for the girls sticking out. I will put sweets in (Rock!) and in some larger ones some colouring stuff etc to keep the little lovelies quiet.

    74 Jax - you are an angel. I just need 16 for the kids, so I don't mind the cost too much.

    Thank you!!!

    What you can do for the rock, because this is what we are doing, is have their name put in it, or yours and the grooms and the date and have them cut into sweet sized pieces of rock?
