Re: what shall i do about favors

Pebbles I think your idea is fine. The colored boxes will jazz up your table settings and work well with the mock centerpiece you did.

Re: what shall i do about favors

Hey Pebbles,

Great idea about the favor boxes. I ordered 100 pink ones and 100 chocolate ones on E-bay for my favors. I'm going to switch the tops on them (chocolate bottom with pink top and vice versa) and then tie them with ribbon. I'm also having a wedding CD and a candy station with all pink and brown candies. I'm going to fill the favor boxes with pink chocolate almonds (not jordans, they're wayyyy too hard), but I haven't decided if I'll put the boxes on the tables or at the candy station. Hope this helps.

Re: what shall i do about favors

PEBBLES you can check out orientaltrading.com, blaircandy.com, groovycandies.com

For the jars you can try michaels or maybe even your local dollar store

The candy station will add nicely to your hersheys kisses idea. Good Luck

Pebbles I had a candy station and it was a HUGE hit! We did old skool candy; I purchased the majority of the candy at groovycandies.com but I got some from blaircandy.com & Oriental trading; I purchased the vases etc from walmart, 99 cents store and dollar tree. HTH! :)[IMG]http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd181/msmac4u68/candy.jpg[/IMG]

I wanted to do a candy station, but the wedding venue will be providing diffrent types of italian pastries and maybe we will pay for chocolate fountain

Re: what shall i do about favors

Yes Pebbles, I did order the boxes from efavormart. Did you?

I'm getting my candy from walmart, kmart, and places like that, and also from candy wholesalers around my city (Miami). Oh and my aunt is a wedding/event specialist, so has all the glass containers for me to use. And I've been told to get the silver scoops from Bed, Bath, & Beyond.

Originally, I wanted the chocolate fountain too, but after asking around, many people and wedding professionals told me that the choc. fountain starts out beautifully, then gets very messy (even with an attendant monitoring the station). So, just something to keep in mind.

Re: what shall i do about favors

Thanks DaughterRhonda!

I was soooooo excited today when I walked into Kmart and they had the Susan G. Komen pink breast cancer awareness M&M's for 28 cents a bag. The regular price is $3.28 a bag, but they were deeply discounted. I looked at them a couple months ago to use for my pink and chocolate candy station, but I'm so thankful I waited. I bought the only 10 bags they had left in the store. Whew...what a true blessing! That's favor right there!
