Ok, so I went to this store that I get major discounts at because I work for corporate, and I know for a fact online they have many options of colors for these party favor boxes (simple things) and they come in packages of 100 so I would only need to buy 2. I go into the store (it's less of a hassle getting my discount that way). I walk in the store and ask where the favor boxes are and they direct me, I go over there and am royally disappointed in their color options - or lack there of. Almost everything is white including the boxes that I wanted, and I really want a splash of color at my tables. I maybe see two other options for favor containers in the color that I want, but it's essentially the same price as the original boxes but contain much less, so I'd have to buy more of them. I continue down the aisle and see a bit more color, but find that the only other colors I see in the wedding department are PINK and robin's egg blue (meh kinda over that color). My rant is that the wedding industry seems soooo narrow and seem to think that most brides want Pink barbie doll weddings. Curse you princess brides (sorry not meaning to offend anyone) but seriously??? Or the industry thinks we just want simple ordinary vanilla white. It's clear they sell the colorful shit online why not stock your stores with it too?
On a positive note the woman who helped me said she would call other local branches of the store to see if they can send it over. So I am appreciative of the helpful service. I'm primarily just further annoyed with the wedding industry and it's girly girl color pallets. Do any of you ladies feel this way or am I in the minority here?
