Ferrero Rocher chocolates- bad idea as favor?

sklink0486

Hi everyone!

Originally FI's mom and dad had said they would pay for the favors because they wanted us to a have a traditional favor- little bells with our names on them (I didn't love the idea, but she was going to pay for them so I was like whatever..) In any case, now they cannot pay for them due to their financial situation and I would skip them all together, except I think they would be really disappointed if we didn't give our guests something. I am not buying little bells with our names and even if I wanted to, the cheapest ones I've seen go for $2 a pop at least.

My FI and I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates and it's kind of a tradition that he gets them for me for Valentines or some other occasion. So my question is, would that be a good favor though? 1 or 2 of those at each place setting? My other concern is the fact that they have nuts in them- would I be asking for trouble? I mean, I wouldn't be concerned about adults really. It's very obvious they have nuts when you open them, but what if there's a kid? We're having 100 people and I could buy 48 for about $15, and I know most of the people coming very well and none of those people are allergic to nuts. But what do you girls think?

Not only do I think it's a great idea, but that's exactly what we're planning on doing for our wedding!

Can I ask where you could buy 48 cts of ferrero rocher for only $15? Please let me know~~~ Planning on this for our wedding as well

And thank you for the nuts issue. I'll prepare some non-nuts favors for allergic guests.

Maybe it was Costco? I came across these while ordering supplies for the office (though I don't think the boss man would approve these as a necessary business expense).

Or Walmart sells 12 for $4 online too.

We got them on a wedding. They were set up like seating cards with our name stuck into it on a little card on a toothpick. It was yummy, edible favors are always fine with me. ETA: oops didn't realize it was so old.

I think it's a great idea but I also feel that if you didn't give favours it's fine also. Most people do not care about getting favours at weddings. I don't eat junk food so I won't eat a chocolate favour anyway and what am I going to with some thing with the bride & groom's names on them?

I'd rather see the bride & groom use their money elsewhere.
