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.

we didn't do them at all. DH said £30 per head for dinner was enough favour for anyone.

I think flower seeds are nice, LoveInAColdClimate.

Usually just the female guests that get a wedding favour.

Once went to a Spanish wedding and everyone got a packet of cigarettes

As a smoker (at that time) I thought it was fab but I bet it wouldn't go down well at all at an English wedding!

I gave out scrolls but so did almost every other wedding I went to around that time- and I went to A LOT!

And...........whilst I did not expect anyone else to frame it, I did. again.

Oh dear, have outed myself as the least cool person on MN.

I can hardly type this, my inner squirm is so squirmy: miniature bottles of Baileys for the women - dressed in a cardboard wedding dress and veil; miniature bottles of vodka for the blokes - dressed in cardboard morning dress and topper.

I lvoe the fags!
What did/does thescroll thing say?

I feel like I am entering parallel universe.

People always assume others are more interested in them and thiers than they are.I have been given framed photos of friends' kids,also framed scribbles.

Even now, the thought of the smug father of brat that did the scribble,swirling his wineglass and saying smugly 'We thoguht you'd really like it' gets my blood pressure soaring.

Loons.

We did bubbles for all the children and "Just Married" Love Heart sweets for the adults, don't know whether they should /would be considered naff or not?

I would have liked flower seeds. But most weddings I've been to haven't had favours at all.

I'm getting married soon and I'm having favours - I bought loads of DIY favour boxes and I'm filling them with chocolates.

I'd never even heard of favours before I started organising my own wedding, I've really got into the whole thing now. They'll look nice on the table too and cost practically nothing as I got it all off ebay.

Love the reason behind wedding favours, I can't wait to see my friend's faces when I start calling in favours from them because I'd given them a crap little box filled with crap little chocolates

And I'm going to stand up and tell everyone to take it home and preserve it for all eternity in memory of my day - and the fact that they took forever to make so they'd better be grateful.

I went to a wedding a few weeks ago, we got Hotel Chocolat lollies. No complaints here! Must've cost a small fortune though.

I've got a few weddings comimg up. One bride-to-be proclaimed on her Facebook status the other day 'XXX is starting to send out her Save The Date magnets!' I dread to imagine. (That's if I even get one. The previous status was 'XXX is having to reduce the guest list by 9! Nightmare!')

Having said that, I did take the lolly home and look at it for about a week before actually eating it. I wasn't sure if it would be deemed disrespectful to eat my favour.

Went to a wedding last weekend where they had jelly beans favours. The other 5 people on the table didn't turn up so now have a lifetime supply of sweets seemingly. Plus we were the only teetotal people in the room with 3 bottles of wine to the two of us.

Never bothered with all that favour malarkey. Hogroast, ceilidh, alcohol, fun. No frills.

I've had seeds and liked them!
At least it's practical..... [scottish]

Save the date magnets??!!

WHAT is the world coming to.

I am so déclassé that the nearest I get to wedding favours is a bunch of vile sugared almonds tied up in scratchy net. Accompanied by maroon paper nakins with a very old fashioned picture of a bride and groom embossed on them in silver film, with the bride and groom's name in swirly script underneath. Oh, and matchbooks (why?)
