We did party bag-type things for the children aat ours, SMS. Full of things specially selected for being fun, but completely silent...

What about all those made up jobs to appease people who weren't chosen as best man.. here's the best man, here's the groomsman, here's the master of ceremonies, here's the usher, his job is to look after the mother of the bride's garter belt or whatever... ffs it's like made up jobs for little kids so they feel useful. Just tell Barry and Paul that this week you're bezzie mates with Shaun so can you just turn up and get pissed with my racist uncle and try to pull a cousin or two, please. Someone somewhere is making up all this tripe but the poor fools who desperately want the "big wedding" take it all so seriously because it's traditional.

I have a terrible fear that when DSs get married they will choose someone to marry who wants a wedding where everyone wears the same colour. I shall wear what I want.

I didn't have wedding favours at my wedding - we had bowls of pick'n mix on the tables and lots of booze....I mean why clutter the table with unnecessary crap I ask you?????

SlightlyMadSecret · 20/04/2007 16:00

Oooh pick 'n' mix - shall have to remember that one...

Washersaurus · 20/04/2007 16:18

They went down a treat and we had a few left to sneak off and nibble - DH and I absolutely love pic'n mix! Embarrassed to admit I did initially sort of try to colour co-ordinate them but gave up in the end.

SlightlyMadSecret · 20/04/2007 16:23

PMSL @ colour matching them

Can imagine bridesmaids in burgundy, lemon & jade just so you could have bowls of raspberry ruffles, lemon sherbet things and Quality street green trianges. LOL

It was my DHs job to choose the colour of the bridesmaids dresses!

He's an engineer!
He's a bloke!
He's scared of wearing an apricot tie!

He chose grey!

(I translated this into silver!)

we went to a wedding last week, and on the tables there were....

Miniture cardboard airplanes,
Indoor sparklers
poppers
Streamers
cameras
boxes of mini easter eggs

A bag of goodies for the children

It was good fun..

So there..

At my wedding we have nought like that...
Thought it was all naffola, but having seen it done at this wedding it goes to show, it doesn't have to be naff

Smurfgirl · 20/04/2007 16:53

I love it all. Am shamelessly bridezilla.

No balloons though. Tacksville.

Not sure on favours yet - def no almonds.

Lilymaid · 20/04/2007 16:57

I wore a grey wedding dress!

Smurfgirl · 20/04/2007 17:00

I tell you, when I make a wedding post loads of people reply. You all LURVE it.

InTheseShoes · 20/04/2007 17:07

At my wedding we decided that favours were so naff that we went the whole hog and my Mum offered a big dish of Ferrero Rocher around. Cue lots of "Why Mrs xxxx with this Ferrero Roacher you are spoiling us..."

At one wedding I went to were me and the groom had been ahem good friends at a point that coincided with his relationship with the bride, in the receiving line, his Mum turned to his Dad and with a knowing exchange of glances, said "oh, Geoffrey, this is XXXXX" "ooooh, xxxxx" he replied I felt like Camilla Parker Bowles

At one Bridezilla hen night, we had to make the favours before we went on the Hen Night - 80 bloody lavender bags (for women), something involving chocolate for men. It's nice smelling like your nanna at one of the North's top nightspots

motherinferior · 20/04/2007 17:10

And you lot think I'm out of order for not wanting to get married ???

nailpolish · 20/04/2007 17:10

the best favours i ever saw were a miniature vodka for the women and a miniature whisky for the men

Smurfgirl · 20/04/2007 17:13

No reciving line though. I am sure I can manage to say hello to 80 people in a 10 hour period.

Mmm.

Am scumbing (sp!!) to bridezilla stuff I feel. Ho hum.

I am sure people will spend the day slagging me off or even better not turn up but I won't give a shite because I will be drunk and married!

SlightlyMadSecret · 20/04/2007 17:26

Oh I see from your (gorgeous) wedding photos washersaurus that you were more looing for pink shrimps and milk bottles

NomDePlume · 20/04/2007 17:29

I hate disposable cameras at my wedding and we got some of the best shots of the day from them.
