Favours - Cheap N Cheerful Please!

Fay

Hi everyone
I am going to make up my own favors using boxes from this website
www.world-of-wedding-favours.com the ones we want are the ivory silk and black silk which are £3.77 and £4.17 for packs of 10. I'm going to decorate them with ribbon and fill them with Thornton's chocolates. Their trays of chocolates work out at really good value http://www.thorntons.co.uk/ThorntonsSite/category/Wedding+Service_Chocolate+Trays/
We should be able to make them for well under £2 each and that's with 4 chocolates in each box (if they will even take that many!)

Country Baskets is a great place to get all things for weddings!
It's a trade place so you need a card or go with someone who has a card
look on the website!

OK, really lame question here... but...

We're having a wedding breakfast, about 30 people then an evening reception for about 120 people... I was only thinking of favours for the first 30 people. Do I need to provide them for the evening folk too? There are still hundreds of love hearts left at the pound shop so not a huge problem but I've bought fancy boxes and am decorating them with ribbon.... The only thing I was going to do was dot the spare boxes around (Got 50 so about 20 spare) and any love hearts that are left over put in bowls amongst the buffet...

I'm making favours for the wedding breakfast guests... I have enough to do some more too but not 100% sure about what is best to do... No doubt I'll find a solution at some point :rotfl:

We are only providing favors for people attending the wedding breakfast-they are usually placed on the table for the meal, so I don't think you are expected to provide them for evening guests too. It sounds a nice idea to put spare ones into glass bowls though...although I won't have any chocolates left over after it's one for the box one for me...

You could spread them on the tables for the evening!
A nice extra little touch to continue the theme!

Hi

I don't usually post on here as I'm not even engaged yet (just wishing I was!lol! I'm sure Dp will get the hint one day-if I'm lucky!)

Anyway I think this site is good:

Good Luck with your big days everyone!

we got married last month. we had 50 guests at the church and meal.
i got gold foil covered heart shapped chocolates on ebay for £8.50 delivered (they are only £10 for 50 in hobby craft) which we had one on each place setting. then as favours i got mini packets of love heart sweets for about £6 ish on ebay and little ivory pouches about £4, for them to go in and everyone loved them. i personally can't stand sugared almonds so they were a good alternative.
there were 9 children at our wedding, so i got party bags for about 50p in wilkinsons and spent about £5 on some little toys, packets of pencils each and a mini chocolate bar which kept the children more than entertained.

i hope i've given you some ideas
