Thanks for the advice on the wedding favours guys. Had my first hen do this weekend and got LOADS of drinks bought for me. I'm thinking a nominal £25 for that. Also got lots of advice and the main thing was to not bother with favours. This was from friends who had been recently married and others married a couple of years. Other friends (who have been to many weddings) said that no-one really cares - so I think I've decided to just not bother.
great ideas for the bridesmaids though - thank you
Other wombles today included A FREE LUNCH at work which was totally unexpected. There was so much to chose from and they had done a vegan sandwich platter for another lady and myself and we could also help ourselves to the vegan cakes too - even though there was loads of fruit (including figs - my favourite). It was lovely and I shall claim £6 for the lunch as it was big and gorgeous. Big thanks to the boss today (which is rare) lol.
So adding £25 and £6 to the total.
Have a good evening xxxx0 -
