PCW1983 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Right, me and the lady are getting married next year and we are stuck on what to do for favours so i thought id come on here and see if anyone can inspire us. We have had a look at all the general kind of things, sugared almonds, heart lollies and alike, my lass fancies something more personal, flower seeds is a idea and me, well im a bit reluctant tbh. Im not tight but buying 190 people summit to leave on the table kinda pisses me off however i can see why she wants to do it. So, any ideas ? Cheers, Philip and Louise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Was at a wedding recently and we all got a £1 lucky dip for the lottery rolled up in a straw instead of favours. Don't think anyone left theirs and everyone thought it was better than the usual sugar almonds crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone left theirs and everyone thought it was better than the usual sugar almonds crap. We had scratch cards suggested to us today, id be fucking gutted if someone won, knowing my look id give my fatha a 100k winning card. "Fancy paying for this lot then ?"

Sounds nice, and honestly who among your guests gives a toss? As long as you get hitched, a few women cry, someone makes a complete twat of himself after drinking a bit too much and ABBA gets played: everyone's happy.

Pilko Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm sure madras said a while ago that every good wedding needs a "hoyoot" from the car so the lurking urchins can scrabble around on the road for pound coins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but that was probably in Westerhope, so you had to do that just to stop them nicking the hub-caps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that in Blyth, but using sharpened darts instead tbh one of the danish traditions is that during the reception, if the groom leaves the room, al the men in the room run up to give the bride a kiss (vice versa if the bride leaves the room), i can imagine in blyth it would be full intercourse.
