This is the eBay shop

They seem to have put their postage up since I got mine but they are still cheap. I bought 3 at the same time and they came in a lovely gift box.

It would depend on your ring size as to which one you could have. I don't think that titanium rings can be altered in size though because they are made of such a strong metal.

I have £25 of tesco vouchers but have looked at Goldsmith jewelers and they are so expensive so i didnt think that was worth my vouchers. Will see if there is anything i can use them for

We put a dispossable cam on each table then got the ushers to make sure they collect them all in. Got some great snaps. Very cheap to develop too

Ditto about Goldsmiths

You could use them in store to buy your wedding cake. Not the same 4x value as the deals but it will save you real cash.

The key to the photography inside thing is to have the camera as still as possible, I agree with tine suggesting a tripod. I use a small one and I also use the timer on it as the camera can pick up tiny movements when you click the shutter.

With the cakes, could you just put one straight on top of the other? I've seen that done.

What about Paris on Eurostar for your honeymoon? Eurocheapo has details of budget hotels.

Congratulations!

You'd be better off selling them on e-bay than using them in store...
You're likely to get nearly twice their face value on there giving you more to physically spend in store - however better yet is spending them through the deals and maybe using the purchase as a gift to someone? Maybe magazine subs for peoples presents leaving you that cash to go into your wedding budget instead

You need to use pillars (think they're called dowling?) between the layers to help support it... unless all 3 are fruitcake! and even then I'd still say you need to give it some extra support...
I bought a wedding cake stand off e-bay for I think £30 including delivery and when I am done it can go back on e-bay again and looking at the prices I should get the vast majority of my money back

Thanks for that Tine. I didn't realise there was such a market for clubcard vouchers until I just checked the listings. I was saving mine for my cake but have now decided to go with M&S. More funds for my eBay challenge maybe :rotfl:
