My original idea for a favor was a box filled with chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. They taste pretty good and my fiance loves sunflower seeds so I thought it would be kind of personal. For months I was settled on this idea, til I thought one day, maybe people won't like them. I go from thinking it's a great idea to thinking it totally sucks.
My second option is Reeses peanut butter cups because we both like them (and I wanted to do something edible). The problem with that is they melt fast and we are getting married September 25th, so there's a chance it could be 70 or 80 degrees here! Chocolate-covered sunflower seeds don't melt quickly in the heat when kept indoors so that was making me go back to that idea!
Thoughts?

As long as you kept the Reese's indoors and out of heat, they'd be okay. They don't really melt if kept in a cool place.
That said, both sound good to me! I've never heard of chocolate-covered sunflower seeds, but they sound amazing! I think that's a really cute and original idea, and the fact that it has personal ties to you guys makes it a good choice too!
As for people not liking them, no matter what you pick, there's going to be someone who doesn't like it. I imagine a lot of people may not have had them before, and even if they end up not liking them, it can be a new experience for them and they'll be able to say they've tried them.
Just my thoughts :)
I need to buy another bag of the Reeses and see if they melt-it's like 95 in NY so they probably will lol!
I think chocolate covered sunflower seeds are fabulous, original, and I sincerely hope some people are introduced to a wonderful new treat (and some people forget to take theirs home so the extras can be snacked on at a later date
