FI is no help on this front so I'm looking for all of your opinions!!

Which favor do you like better?

1) Candy Buffet (8-10 different sweets) with chinese takeout boxes w/our monogram



2) Three chocolate covered double stuffed oreos with our initial on them in a candy box  (per person)




3) Something else (explain please)

    I love cookies so I'd choose the second.

    Oreo cookies have cow in them so I wouldn't eat them as a vegetarian whereas a candy bar gives me several options.

    I vote for the candy buffet.  That way you give your guests a variety of options.  However, I think candy buffets can get kind of expensive so if you have a limited budget for favors, go with the oreo cookies or something else that is edible.

    I chose candy buffet because I'm not a fan of oreos.  Candy buffets offer lots of different choices so people are bound to find a candy there that they like.

    Candy buffets are fun, everyone loves them and they are also a nice decor element to the reception.  But as a guest, I'd be happy with either one.

    I picked cookies.  Personally, I've never thought of the candy buffet as a favor until I came onto TK.  I always thought of it as part of the food.

    I think with the candy buffet you can pick and choose what you want. Guests get more variety. On the flip side you would have to buy extra because some people might take more than expected. With the oreos you would have more of an exact count and wouldn't end up with left overs, most likely. Both sound delicious!!!

    I love Oreos, so I think those would be a great idea. I am not a fan of candy bars, even though they are really popular. I have never heard of them or seen them before TK.

    Wow, those are really two good choices!  I usually am drawn towards the candy buffet, but love the oreo one - I would choose that one - seems a little different :)

    No they don't.  Oreo cookies are actually vegan.

    But regardless, I like the candy buffet.  I think it's nice for people to have the option to choose the stuff they like and leave the stuff they don't.

    Why not have the oreos as a selection at the candy buffet? There is no rule saying that candy buffet can't include cookies!! I say have them both!
