Wedding Speech Betting Slips

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Jane

While planning Ailbhe’s wedding we wanted to create a unique and creative alternative to the traditional Paddy Power betting slips to put on her wedding tables. Ailbhe got to work and painted a vintage betting scene and our vintage wedding speech betting slips were born!!! These proved to be a great hit at her wedding so much so that people keep asking to buy them from us and so here they are…

Wedding-Speech-Betting-Card

 

Wedding betting slips are the perfect ice-breaker for tables, allowing guests to bet on how long the speeches are going to last!! Guests can choose to bet on the duration of the Best Man’s Speech or the duration of the first speaker to the last word of the last speaker. Simply leave a betting slip and envelope on each table (to put all bets in). Each slip lists the ‘rules’ and has space for all guests to input their name and time. You can purchase your wedding speech betting cards here.
