We spent most of yesterday putting together the wedding favours.
My parents very kindly made a trip to IKEA for us, to buy the glasses. I set about cutting dozens of squares of dress net and lengths of ribbon, and Paul designed the MOO mini cards that we’ve used as name tags. We bought the sweets locally, from Strange Sweets in the Harris Arcade. Because we bought so many (nine kilos!), Lisa gave us a really good deal!
Once we had all of the bits and pieces ready and waiting, it only took a couple of hours to put them all together. Paul and I put on plastic gloves and divided all the sweets into the glasses. Then Paul held the net squares in place while I tied on the name tags.
Now they’re all boxed up, complete with a table plan, and ready to be taken over to the wedding venue this afternoon.
I think that’s the very last thing that we actually had to make. Now we just have a million other things to organise before the weekend…
What a lovely thing to do! The guests at my wedding had nothing to go home with, but then I got married so long ago that I don’t think anyone had heard of wedding favours!
