christening favours

7 replies

dd's christening is Sunday and I want to make some favours to thank people for coming.

I have bought some organza bags (pink with butterflies on) but am at a loss as to what to put in them.

am avoiding almonds, considered pink and white marshmallows (but have veggie guests).

so what can I use....??

Any ideas please

p.s. 40+ guests so need to be fairly cheap reasonably priced.

I was going to suggest the sugar coated, pastel coloured almonds but I see you want to avoid those.

We've also had chocolate coated in the same pastel coloured coating, the same size and shape as the almonds.

Maybe find a good local sweet shop that sells sweets by the quarter and see what they have? They'll hopefully give you a discount if you buy a huge jar!

jelly beans if you get the real ones they are veggie

oops sorry missed the reasonabley priced part! are they mostly adults or are lots of kids coming?

If you google "sweet shop" there are loads of on-line companies that sell every sweet you could possibly imagine (I started looking for the ones I mentioned in my post but got caught up in drooling at the retro sweets )

Thanks for the replies. It's mostly adults coming, only 2 kids under 10.

I'm worried I might have left it a bit late to order online.

Good idea about an old fashioned sweet shop, will have to trek out and have a look.

What about tags? Should I do a "Thank you for coming love dd" to attach to each?

Have you seen this site The Favour Gallery. www.thefavourgallery.co.uk? They have the most AMAZING favours for christenings!!! I bought little blue sachets for my sons christening... but I see that they do lots more since I ordered!! They are beautiful! They say they take a few weeks to order.. but I also left it late and they managed to get them to me in a few days as they had other orders coming in!!! Have a look at their site... its wonderful. www.thefavourgallery.co.uk

forgot to say.... they do tags too... but they are not on their site yet... they told me about them when I called and they were just what I wanted!
