    I think thats a lovely thoughtful idea! I hate heels and my feet always hurt!
    Then don't wear heels, or take a spare pair of flats with you!

    Exactly what I did at a recent wedding. But my feet were so sore even the pumps I had rubbed and I'd have killed for a pair of slippers (or flip flops!!)
  • at the other weddings the flip flops were snatched up and some were left without , so I've decided to get everyone a pair ! Ill just get a inbetween size ! Hopefully they will be ok :p

    Some people will take anything thats free!! Personally I wouldnt wear flipflops at a wedding, especially since I would have made a lot of effort with my shoes and outfit and flip flops would ruin the look. I think favours in general are a bit pointless.

    Probably more useful than sugared almonds! :D
    I rather like sugared almonds, and would prefer a pretty little bag of almonds over some impractical, plastic footwear.

    I still have many of the favours from family and friend's weddings. They are a lovely little keepsake that convey a great deal more than plastic flipflops.

    What size hand bag to you take a wedding?? I for one can barely fit a lipstick in mine let alone a pair of shoes!

    As it is, its just a nice gesture. More to show that the bride and groom care about there guests comfort!

    We had a weekend wedding and we provided little gift boxes of toiletries that were personalised with our names and wedding dates. Its lovely when we visit our friends homes and they have them on display in there bathrooms. :j

    Oh I'd definitely rather have almonds than flip-flops! Just thought that paracetamol would be more useful than either :)

    Isn't it unlucky to have shoes on tables?

    Put the spare shoes in your car or someone you know's car the minute you arrive.

    Yes - that's what my nan used to say - especially new shoes apparently.
