Blackrocksrock Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I made the favours for my daughters wedding ( along with a 3 tier cake!!)but thats another story, and bought white sugared almonds and made the favours in net bags which I bought as circles and tied them up with firstly elastic band and then topped with tartan ribbon with 5 almonds inside in the same tartan as the groom was wearing - I also tied the ribbon round the edges of the cake on the board. The kiddies got small teddies and the men got nothing!!. Although I say so myself - they were lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 For the edible bit how about peppermint creams? - colour the fondant to match wedding colour theme & some can be chocolate (or half) dipped. Mints go well after dinner - with a small cookie cutter they can be any shapes (hearts?). Plus they are dead easy to make by the 100 - I use make bags full for the school Christmas fete.
