We bought boxes of chocolates, then bought sheets of celophane (they were clear with silver stars on) and some ribbon. We cut the sheets into small squares and then put 3 cocolates in each one, and tied it at the top with the ribbon. They looked really nice. Then we bought blue tea light holders from Ikea for 29p each and wrote the name of each guest on them with silver pen. They doubled as favours and place names.

For the centrepieces, i bought vases from Ikea which were about £1.50, they were square, and i filled them with glass stones (again, good old Ikea, God bless them). Each vase had a small arrangement of flowers in it, tied at the bottom with ribbon and and wired with faux pearls. Sounds a bit naff like that but i thought they were gorgeous. The flowers were part of the florist arrangement, but everything else was bought by us. I also had metallic c onfetti to scatter on the tables, but I was so busy I forgot to put it on!
