Wedding ceremony: Chocolates and after dinner novelties

Why not serve coffee with after dinner chocolates wrapped in a romantic message. Directors Fiona Cox and Lizzie Thornton Allan of Cox and Cox say: 'Couples are interested in sourcing gorgeous, unique items to dress their tables and want the choice of a wide range of fun items, such as surprise balls made from crepe paper, which area sophisticated version of pass the parcel. Pass them around the table after the meal and your guests will have great fun un-wrapping each layer to reveal a small charm gift – a lot less fattening than chocolates!'

How about an origami fortune-teller – a fabulously original little extra for your wedding which will also be considered a quirky keepsake of a memorable day? Ask someone close to you to choose a coloured heart, lift the flap and read them the romantic French phrase underneath. Continuing an oriental theme, fortune sticks are an ancient form of Chinese fortune-telling and each one is inscribed with an individual fate. When tucked inside napkins or as unusual place setting markers, your guests will be intrigued and entertained.
Wedding matches area useful addition to the table, to be used for lighting candles and for guests to take away. These can be printed with dictionary definitions of wedlock and include the words 'The Perfect Match'.

Crackers can be pulled at weddings as well as Christmas, perhaps made in white with each containing a snap, romantic quotation and a silver plated charm, giving your guests a reason to turn to one another and introduce themselves as they pull their crackers and break the ice at the same time!
Decorative brown sugar hearts perched on the side of a coffee cup would make a delicious drink even more special, or fill a glass bowl with decorative sugar cubes with pink and red hearts on them; an extravagance indeed, but one that will be truly appreciated by your friends and family as they sweeten their coffee or tea after the meal!
