what sis the NAFFEST bridal favour you haev ever got

[Frivol]

as they seem to be the trend these days...( didnt bother myself in the last century)

the worst most self indulgent one we ever saw was a seed bag to plant to think of the couple...bridezilla?!

Oh and a parchment scroll to thank you for coming.

dove cookie cutter? why all my life i have needed that

hahaha sorry

yes girders

or cocoNUTS

we did sod all in the way of "favours" and all that tat. We had a hog roast, a ceilidh and so much booze we were still carrying the last barrel of it around France in the back of a van a month later

now i LIKE these

We were all supposed to take the scroll thing home and frame it, you know. She truly thought people would.
"Oh how lovely," I said "that will go straight into my special memories box!"
Not on my wall

I thought about this lovely gift

I've had the scroll too - wtf??

Also a picture of the couple, not as a magnet, but in a tiny little silver frame. All over the reception you could see people trying to get the back off. Turns out it was impossible to do.

Can't believe someone did the CD thing - how much time must that have taken???

Some "ornament" made out of shells the bride and groom had lifted from some poor beach in the Caribean was the naffest.
However the most memorable were the good ones - Tin of Harvey Nichols tea at one and Diptyque candle for the AND a beautiful leather keyring at another. Very nice .

At Scottish weddings all you ever get is whisky and tablet.

I think the fridge magnet with the bride and groom on wins.

As long as its decent whisky!

I went to a manwedding where all the favours had a cartoon of the groom and groom on - so there was a selection of magnets, keyrings, little notebooks (with them on each page). I quite liked them!

I was going to give out seeds (although not with a cheesy message about thinking of us)! Is that awful? I was just going to give everyone a little wrap or packet of flower seeds to plant at home - I just thought it was a nice idea and something they could enjoy later. Should I not do that? Will people take the piss behind my back?

Worst ever favour received - a cheap, nasty looking pen engraved with the bride and groom's names, that worked for about two minutes but must have cost a fortune to have made. Total waste of money.

i liked the mints

We went to a wedding where we were given Notepads and calendars with the Bride and Groom on. And pens inscribed with their names and date of the wedding.

I used to work in a high street newsagent chain and someone came in and asked for 60 Lucky Dips for a wedding I did 20 and then stopped because there was a queue of people wanting to use the lottery machine...

Like the lottery idea!

I got married before all this got so silly and all we gave out was sugared almonds.

We were given tulip bulbs at a wedding in Amsterdam ... it was dark and I was mullered and I assumed it was some sort of Belgian chocolate and attempted to eat it

Last wedding I went to all the women got a little lipgloss in the shape of a cake.

All the blokes got a miniature bottle of port.

Not. Fair. At. All.

Miniature bottles of cheap perfume/aftershave and the groom mentioned them in his speech, pointing out that "they are much better than the usual sugared almonds"

Hairymuff - a wedding favour is a small gift given by the bride to her guests so that should she ever need a favour from them in the future, they are obliged because of the gift.

Does that make sense?

WE gave out the little miniature scrolls . I thought they were lovely at the time

It was ten years ago and I was young. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
