m&m favors

KathleenMcGreal

I want to use those personalized m&ms as my favors.  How many pounds would you estimate for 200 favor bags?  They come in 5 and 10 pound bulk bags.

I would take a trip to the bulk food store and take along the package that I plan to put my favours in. I would fill the package and then weigh the contents and see how much it will take - then you can just multiply that by 200 to tell you how many lbs. you need.
(Of course I would buy the M&Ms I used from the bulk food store for a snack.)

I bought a 5 pound bag for $154 and it didn't even fill up 30 2 inch containers.
