I really like the idea of scratch cards as wedding favours but not sure how I would feel if someone wins a lot of money lol! Maybe I'm being selfish!? But imagine if someone wins 100k on ur day, would they feel like they have to share? Would you want them to share?
Arghhh what to do? X
CommentAuthormichgib
i think that i would be personally gutted if one of my guests won on my big day so no your not being selfish xx
CommentAuthorMrsWright290912
We get them from MIL2B at Xmas in our stocking - fab idea!
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!
Mexico for our first anniversary
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I'd feel the same if I never won and a guest won lots. Suppose it's a risk you take.
Our wedding day - 6 October 2012
CommentAuthorZeeMee83
I'd say they gotta give the newly married couple a 10% cut of any winnings over a tenner x
We get them in stocking at xmas to and like you thought would be nice idea untill i thought about and had same thought!!!
I dont think I would like it to be honest so dont feel bad for thinking it x
Away with the flutterbys xxx
CommentAuthorKarenB9
I'm putting a lottery ticket in side a thank you card for people who have helped with the wedding as they are my 2 best friends and family members i know if they won i would get some back and i would be happy for them to have it as well.
couldn't do it as favours though x
CommentAuthornatalie2614
I couldnt do it as favours. My nan buys us them at christmas and puts them under our dinner plates, I won a tenner last year, year before my brother won a tenner. Maybe something a bit bigger this year lol.

CommentAuthorprincesspixie
I personally prefer wedding favours that are personal and have a bit of character to them, so its not an idea I would ever have considered, but if it's something you want to do you would have to risk someone winning and them not sharing xx
Officially married my best friend 2/5/2015 (secretly)

CommentAuthorSam
Wouldn't do this as I'd be annoyed if someone won :(
CommentAuthorsusan1990
we are going lottery tickets...we are putting them in scrolls with a little poem basically saying dont forget to share if they win lol. to be honest if i went to a wedding and got a lottery ticket/scratch card for a favour and won a reasonable amount of money i would definatly share it afterall, wouldnt have got it if it wasnt for the bride and groom sure most people would be the same x
CommentAuthorBobsi
Id be really bad with this. I thought it was a good idea at first but then I thought id end up scrathing them all to see if anyone would have won, and giving them chocolate instead. lol. xx
Got together June 11th 2006

I couldnt do this either, I echo what has been said by the above ladies, if someone won a whopper of a prize on my wedding day I'd be pee'd off becasue I bought the ticket and could do with the money myself haha, and if it was something substatial, I really wouldnt want the focus from my day shift to that. and knowing my luck, one of the guests incvited out of obligation would be one of the ones to win, or some random family member of the boy Ive never even met lol
I wouldn't see a problem with it being limited to the bridal party, but not as favours, I too would be the worst loser ever!! haha!
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey

CommentAuthorMrs Davro
The dougie Mac do ones where the top prize is 1k.
Yea someone suggested them to me but as others have said you just know whoever you invited just because you had to would win.
CommentAuthorChelz3110

I might do lottery tickets rather than scratch cards as we get married on the Friday so I'd do it for the Saturday so they don't steal the limelight! We are having a small day do so don't think I will be too gutted if someone wins, and what's the chances of someone winning a massive amount? Xx

lol, I thought about doing this. I wonder if it was a big win on the scratch card if they'd own up to it otherwise drinks would be on them for the rest of the night lol
CommentAuthorJadeE26
Me and my friend were talking about this yesterday but with lottery tickets and personally I dont think I could do it lol x
CommentAuthorChelz3110
i think its a good idea to do the lottery ticket for a different night then as LauraJo87 said any winners wouldnt be stealing the lime light x

Hmmmm, I at least scratch cards have a smaller jackpot, but i think your more likely to win tho lol.... Velcro- this is exactly what I'm thinking, if it's a close friend or family it's fine but what if it is a random person, I hardly know! But I just want to do sOmething a bit different to sweets and choc! The only other thing I can think of is charity badges, cancer research for girls and help for heroes for boys maybe?
At least I still have a while to ponder over it ;-) x
CommentAuthorVelcro
I really like the charity badges idea, and such a good cause too! I'd probably go for a cats one lol

we went to a wedding with scratch cards as favours and nobody won lots of money xx
Met Matt at 10 years old

CommentAuthorCharlotteB32
It's a risk you take with scratch cards. Charity badges is a good idea, you know the money has gone to a good cause.
CommentAuthorNEDebz
I couldn't do lottery tickets, it may sound selfish but I would be gutted if somebody won a jackpot! However I am thinking about doing scratchcards, you can get ones where the biggest prize is less than £10k and to be fair I wouldn't mind any of my guests winning that, although we're (hopefully) getting married in Cyprus so it'll only be close friends and family at our wedding.
4th April 2014 - I get married to my soul mate
CommentAuthorLaura JaneW
Try and get scratch cards with a top prize of £10,000 maybe? Either that or get lottery tickets. The chances of anyone winning huge amounts is unlikely. We are getting lottery tickets in a little scroll for our male guests.
CommentAuthorkimi1987
i dont think i could do this as favours as id be a bit peed off if someone one loads of money. unless of course they put it in our postbox lol
caught the catch of my lifetime

CommentAuthorPenguinJ
Well I have thought this through and decided to definitely do Lottery ticket favours. I am also going to pick one of the tickets out of a hat and write the exact number down and have a little lottery raffle, whoever owns the ticket with that number on it is going to win a little package with wine and chocolates etc in it. just thought it would be a bit nice to do something like that. and its a little bit different.
So lucky to be marrying my soulmate on 18/07/20

oooh can amagin this wud be quite expensive! Great idea though. x
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Personally I wouldn't do it as it would really irritate me if someone won big and I didn't get a share :S If you can live with it then go for it hun, it is a rather popular favour xx
Married the love of my life on Saturday 11th May 2013 xxx

CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
We bought them, and every table had a winner......£1, £2, £3 & £10, but it was only when we were all scratching the cards off that I suddenly thought.......if someone wins the jackpot I am gonna be furious......!
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorlizzylou
My best friend did scratch cards. I had the job of putting them out the night before! As far as we know of 80 guests only one person won £5!! So I wouldn't worry too much. Either it's that unlikely you'll win or just noone wanted to tell that they had won! x
and would be really annoyed if someone won a large amount if it was a £10 id be ok, but id be really bad and be temped to scratch them all my self lol
