Cheap(est) favour would probably be a snapshot of the 2 of you (taken in the morning - can be developed/printed during the day/handed out at the end of the evening) with a text underneath 'thank you for joining us on this special day [date], [names]". Maybe your photographer is willing to do this?
Maybe you can invite the bridesmaids for (homemade) lunch at your place a few weeks after the wedding, and give them a picture of the wedding party or an individual professional picture in their bridesmaid's outfit, that was taken on the day?Are you wombling, too, in '22? € 58,96 = £ 52.09Wombling in Restrictive Times (2021) € 2.138,82 = £ 1,813.15Wombabeluba 2020! € 453,22 = £ 403.842019's wi-wa-wombles € 2.244,20 = £ 1,909.46Wombling to wealth 2018 € 972,97 = £ 879.54Still a womble 2017 #25 € 7.116,68 = £ 6,309.50Wombling Free 2016 #2 € 3.484,31 = £ 3,104.590 -

Went to Toby Carvery for a treat paid with £20 voucher from my FIL and my daughters meal for £1 using app voucher. Just marking down as £20 as there was a difference of £1.73. Best meal in ages!! Always tastes better when you don't have to pay.

So I've just had a fab womble-tastic MSE shopping trip.
Free coffee from Greggs £2.10
Boots points spend £2.25
Morrisons loyalty voucher £5 spent and £1 off pizza voucher
I did a market research and got £5 worth of shopping (puls payment for doing it which I won't claim as a womble)
So pleased that I refilled my cartridge today, got dove shampoo for 95p, reduced price coffee and crisps and cheap wrapping paper - won't count these as wombles unless Bob says otherwise - I think it's just savvy shopping rather than a womble.
£15.35 womble I'm putting down for today.

Hi All
Had a great and very apt find with all this rain. A set of two brand new diving fins, masks and snorkels. They both had all the tags still on! The price tag said £20 each.
Found 11p roadkill as well.

Hiya
If you saved money then I'd say that's a Womble, if it was marked down from original price?
