When you get married, part of the fun is coming up those little different touches which will make your special day stand out in people’s memories, and one way to do this is to think carefully about the wedding favours you have on the tables at the reception.

If you’re going to a lot of weddings at the moment it might prove difficult to come up with ideas that haven’t been done before, to make you stand out from the crowd.

One way you could potentially give a whole lot back to your guests is to buy each of them a lottery ticket. In many ways a lottery ticket is the perfect small gift – it doesn’t cost much but it has the potential to absolutely transform a person’s life! Of course, you’re going to have other favours to go with the lotto tickets on the tables, but those little tickets could end up meaning the most. Make it more fun by asking guests to choose the ticket from a basket as they sit down at the table – thereby doubling the role chance has to play!

Today, it’s so much easier than it used to be to take part in the lottery. You can buy tickets online and when you play lotto in UK you can check the results online at any time. And it’s not just the UK lottery that you can get involved in when you play online – you can buy tickets for other big lotteries in different countries. For example, UK residents can now buy tickets for MegaMillions and Powerball in the States, and what’s more, if you won either of these, you’d take home more than an American winner who is taxed heavily on their winnings. Maybe you could spread the chances of your wedding guests winning – by buying some UK lotto tickets and buying others MegaMillions or Powerball tickets.

Even if no-one from your wedding party wins a big prize, it’s a fun idea and one that will stay with your guests long after you’ve headed off on your honeymoon!
