Wedding Favours

So after much debating and ALOT of faffing around, I have finally sorted and ordered my favours hooray! I decided to go for paperbags with personalised tags and fill them with sweets, as I figured the guests might fancy a little sugar rush to get them up on the dance floor! 

I found the bags and tags on Etsy and ordered them through Ana at Burlap and Butter, who might I add has the best customer service, she has been so helpful. All the tags were custom made in my colour scheme and have personalised print on at no extra cost, plus the delivery was super speedy. I would highly recommend if you're looking for cute vintage esq paper bags, however it's best to think about what you're going to put in them first! As admittedly I went full steam ahead and didn't consider what I would need to put in them to pad them out! However after searching around I decided to go with sweets and some heart bubbles! Best places to look if your ordering in large quantities is either Amazon or eBay I managed to get all my favours including the bags for £100 (that's for 100 guests). Be warned it's so easy to get carried away and overspend, my advice is to set a budget before of what you want to spend and stick to it!

Batiste Dry Shampoo - limited edition Eden

If you haven't tried it yet the new Eden fragrance is worth a go, suprisingly it doesn't smell quite so dry shampoo esq. It's sweet in fragrance and not too heavy as I've found in the past, with some of the original scents they can be quite overpowering, it only takes the slight flick of your hair and you can smell nothing but dry shampoo. As with the others in the Batiste range it helps to freshen your hair up and add a touch of volume for those days, when you haven't got the time to wash your hair! Plus the packaging is really cute, admittedly that's what drew me towards it in the first place! It's a bargain in superdrug at £1.69 it would be rude not to buy. I hope you find it as useful as me x

The Pudding Stop - St Albans

If you love dessert The Pudding Stop is a must. I've been meaning to go for ages and the weekend just gone, I definitely made up for lost time by going twice! It's such a cute and quirky place, it's perfect for a cheeky dessert in the evening but also for an early afternoon pit stop. They offer a great selection of treats, I warn you if you look at the menu online your mouth will be left watering! www.thepuddingstop.com  

The service in there is speedy considering it's only small and you can only book in advance if it's for a table of 8 or more. If you do have to queue it's worth the wait I promise! The staff are really friendly and happy to help you make the difficult decision of what to have. On my first visit I chose the rhubarb crumble with custard, if you like crumble this is to die for it looks small but it's super filling don't be deceived, plus the custard is yummy it's the perfect pud for a chilly winter evening. 

On my second visit I tried the peanut butter brownie with salted caramel, so good! Everytime I think about it I want another one. The salted caramel sauce quite literally oozes out when you bite into it, mmmmm I need another one in my life now! If you are visiting St Albans you have to go, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends, especially if you have a sweet tooth like me.

I will most definitely be going back....x
