More on Favors.....

Some brides like to have favors that are original and something that no one has ever seen at another wedding.  You can be creative in your design of a favor, but you must remember that because of time and money, you could find yourself up against a wall.  When my youngest daughter was deciding about a favor, we looked at wine glasses with an imprint of the bride and groom's names.  It was suggested that we fill the wine glasses with candy (M&M's) in a small bag. When we looked for suppliers for the wine glasses, we found that various production times would put delivery of the glasses after the wedding.  Obviously, we abandoned that idea.

We finally found small glass jars that could hold the candies.  The supplying company,
Beau-coup.com, would make stickers for the lids with the names of the bride and groom, in a choice of designs.  Happily, the favors were a hit!

I can't say enough about the good people who produce the M&M's.  You can design the M&M's with images, names, etc., and choose colors that match your theme or bridesmaids dresses.  Everyone loves M&M's and they can be presented in jars, bags, or metal containers.

It would have been more expensive to fill the small jars with only M&M's.  We decided to add 2-3 Hershey kisses inside each jar to fill some space.

Once again, you must figure out how much your budget allows you to spend on favors.
