sorry I must have missed the bit where I claimed to have invented it? we were discussing our plans for our respective weddings and I said we were having a sweetie table and told her what it involved. "that's such a good idea" she said and asked me lots of questions about it, then we went to her wedding a few months before ours and they'd done the same as we were planning.

I've never watched "don't tell the bride" so couldn't comment as to the content.

Sorry, its just a bit silly. I really don't see why them doing it meant you couldn't. I presume the bride also wore a white dress and there was some dancing and a best man's speech. Did you then remove those elements from your wedding too? :rotfl:

Are you sure you want a bunch of children hyper on sugar and aditives rampaging around at your wedding?:eek::rotfl:

We had one for our wedding in October along with an ice cream bar. We are early 20's and had a lot of kids/teens and early 20's guests there who all loved. But then again so did the oldies!

We collected the jars from Asda and Charity Shops, picking one or 2 up each time we saw them. We had a large wine glass as the 'centrepiece' and filled it with flumps. Our wedding theme was pink and white so we used those colours for our sweets buying mint imperials from poundland, pink smarties, lips, teeth, laces, marshmallows etc from Tesco. We picked up 3 bags for a £1 each week on the weekly shop making sure they would be in date. Was pretty inexpensive and went down well!

been to makro and bought lots and lots of sweets, but after re checking prices have found that it was way way cheaper there than anywhere we have seen so it was a good idea.

Not wishing to be rude but what is the point? I recently went to a wedding where they had a sweet shop and at the end of the evening it was still half full so we all took some home for our children (hehehe the youngest was 13 ).

We (as in the group of friends I was with) just commented that it was a waste of money. Then again I don't understand why people do favours either - I'm turning into Victoria Meldrew:rotfl:

I spent ages making my sisters favours for her wedding about 10yrs ago , and i don`t thing any adults got any of them cos the kids grabbed them all !! waste of time and money .
Would`nt care but my sis had provided sweets for the kids etc lol

we went to a wedding that had a sweet shop and to be honest it was all the adults eating the sweets there were so many people had to take bags and bags home and the groom brought the rest into work. It as alot of expense for something that really wasnt appreciated

I did my own at my wedding in December, collected sweets for a few week before and then went to bookers for some childhood sweets it looked like there was way too much when we set it out x it all got absolutely demolished lol but everyone loved it x

I've just googled these, there are some lovely ones. I think it would be really easy and a lot cheaper to do it yourself. Personally I would do ones on each table then they could double up as centrepieces and favours [I'm a bit of a cheapskate ,lol]
