Your retro themed wedding

Retro themes are so popular nowadays, and you can have loads of fun planning every detail to ensure it's in keeping with the era you choose. If you have a lot of children attending your retro-themed wedding and want to ensure they have something fun to remember the day by, what better than to choose a wedding favour that keeps them entertained, and complements your theme.

There’s nothing more retro and iconic than a Rubics cube and this will keep them entertained for ages, as well as being a memorable game to take home. Try http://www.thingsretro.co.uk/ The kids might also enjoy other retro mini games like Twister, Connect 4, Operation and Etch a Sketch. You can find all these pocket-sized classics at http://www.prezzybox.com/



Continuing the games theme, why not treat each child to a 70s style space hopper. The younger ones might enjoy a mini wind-up version http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/ whilst I am sure the older ones will appreciate a full sized one. http://www.a1gifts.co.uk/

If it’s a musical treat you are after, vinyl style recordable CDs would be perfect for the teens. They have the look of old vinyl records, and come in cases styled like 7" record sleeves. Despite their retro looks, each CD can store up to 700Mb of data, songs or pictures http://www.shinyshack.com/

For the younger ones, why not consider a retro harmonica from Heals. It’s great for beginners, as well as experts! http://www.heals.co.uk/




The little girls among your guests will treasure adorable Milly Molly Mandy books http://www.amazon.co.uk/
Why not present them in retro ‘cut out doll’ party bags from http://www.lovethelittlethings.co.uk/

For the boys, and also available from Love the Little Things, is a pin ball game with a cool retro picture on the back of the tin. Again present in a retro bag adored with cars especially for the boys.




Pretty much all kids love sugary treats, so retro sweets are bound to impress. Try a mini gum ball machine or a mini gum ball slot machine http://www.beau-coup.com/ This is an American website, but I have found they reliably deliver to the UK. Other ideas are classics like Love Hearts, black jacks, sherbet dib dabs and cola cubes http://www.keepitsweet.co.uk/ For a retro funfair feel, you could go for candy floss, personalised rock, toffee apples or popcorn.
