There are some nice ideas on this site:

I'm making my own bath bombs for girls, packaging them nicely with a label stating our names and the date of the wedding.

Bath bombs are easy to make:

Giving the men a minature bottle of sake (as fiance is Japanese) but you could also use minature whisky bottles - of course buy in bulk to save money!

HI, if you're going with Kinder eggs, get them now from Tescos, the 3-packs are on BOGOF at the moment, so 99p for 6! I've just bought some for party bags.

I'm just eternally worried about chocolate and my white wedding dress... I'm even thinking of banning red wine from the top table lol!!!
I'm buying loads of imperial mints and other white sweets to go on the tables for people to help themselves
I do LOVE kinder eggs tho so might buy some for ME to scoff lol!!!

There is downloads on here to make small favour boxes and fortune cookies, look really easy. You could personalise the paper by printing out sheets with both your names on and the date of the wedding.

For a good icebreaker at the reception get some torpedo balloons from Hawkins Bazaar, gave us a lot of laughs when we used them.
Also might be advisable not to use sugared almonds, some people have nut allergies. We used mint imperials, cheapest way was to buy the large packs from our local Co-op.

I've got a chocolate fountain and a four year old on my special day, I'm resigned to the fact my white dress (If I ever actually get one!) will not stay too white for too long...

Check out the cancer reserarch website. You can donate £1 per guest to them and they will send you cancer research pins and little place cards explaining that you've donated to charity. I think this is a lovley thoughtful touch to a wedding.

My friend has combined her favours with her place cards and is having gingerbread men and women with peoples names on

We had seed sticks - each packet cost about 50p online mand tea bags - I bought some herbal tea selection boxes online and made up a litle organza gift bag with seeds and tea!:j
