    Anyone have any idea what I can use in my Favour boxes to symbolise "Long Life"? (no bigger than 6cmx4cm)

    Our wedding is turning quirky anyway, we wanted the day to show our personalities, so George'll probably get his way with the battery... I was sat there thinking as Favours are supposed to contain 5 things, representing Health, Wealth, Happiness, Long Life and Fertility .. got the rest sorted x

    I think the batteries sound great - at least no one will be able to say the favours weren't practical!

    Yeah, the more I think of it, the better George's idea is. It'll be a talking point, fun, memorable and practical! :D
    See, this is why I love him

    Me and the h2b love the long life battery. What are you doing for the other 4 - health, wealth, happiness and fertility? my h2b thought a comdom for fertility but very inappropriate! men! xx

    Health ~ Sticking plaster
    Wealth ~ a penny
    Fertility ~ a chocolate Egg
    Happiness ~ a cracker joke or a smiley face pin badge
    The more I think about it, the more I love the battery idea, cos it's something for them to remember.

    Yeah we wanted it all to be memorable and different. Not sure if we'll go for Duracell, or the supermarket own brands that actually state "long life" on the battery!
    The Viagra might be a bit more difficult to explain to little ones! ..

    It's all about you and doing it your way! They don't have to mean anything at all. Very few "traditions" are kept these days.

    We're only keeping this one I think.. and thats in the loosest of terms. Our first dance, I'm singing instead, My MoH is walking me down the aisle, Our cake topper is far from the norm, etc ..
