thanks 74jax. I'm not a hufe fan of rock, but it is a must really, at the seaside! I will have to fill them with other sweets - bonbons and many other old fashioned sweeties I think. Give them an education in sweets....

I saw ones like the picture in the pound shop and they were big ones too, either that clasp lid or screw on lids. I was tempted but don't think we want to spend anymore money on sweets and sweet buffets lol

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 :-)
Haha, I don't mind the hijacking, it's given me an idea. I might get some buckets and put coloured pencils in them with a pad of paper or colouring book for the younger ones for during the speeches. Plus it's good to know that my thread is helping other brides to be

Lisajane, glad you don't moind - it has been very helpful indeed. Thanks to 74 Jax I have now ordered 10 x yellow buckets and 10 x ivory ones for the kids at our wedding. I know they will love them - I will stick flags in with their names as well as sweets too. Buckets of crayons/paper is a great idea too - I'm going to roll up pictures for them to colour in and tie them with ribbon so they look like treasure maps!
I love this site.

I found some little jars (approx 9cm high and 6cm diameter at widest point) in B&M for 59p each or 4 for £2. I got 4 to see how many sweets will fit in before I buy more.

I'm also going to get some for my daughter to take to school for the christmas fayre as they always ask for jars with sweets in.0
