Candy Filled Shot Glasses... need help

Iwakuralain16 · March 2010

My wedding is on 05/01 and we will be having the reception in a bar. I have ordered some 2oz shot glasses from discountmugs.com and they should be arriving in the next week or two. I plan to give them out as favors at my wedding but I am not sure what candy to fill them with.

I plan to put candy in the shot glasses, wrap it in a clear non colored cellophane and tie it off with a ribbon. I also hope to have something to tie onto the shot glasses like a label that says Thank you!

The writting onthe shot glasses will be in red and there will be a rose on the shot glass along with our names and the date of the wedding. What type of candy do you think I should fill them with??? my colors are burgundy and a cream version of white.

Thanks!!

you could get custom M&M's!

The candy's great. But if you can get your money back on the shot glasses, I'd try. Sorry, but a shot glass with YOUR names and wedding dates on it is pretty useless for most people. I might take it, because I'd feel bad leaving it behind, but I'd be tossing it in the recycling container pretty quickly after I got home.

m&ms will probably fit best, but the little jellie bellies are also good. Just put them in a favor box and call it good, IMO.

I started collecting shot glasses when I was in college, I would get one from special places I went to. It soon ballooned into people getting me one from places THEY went. I now have over 50 that just sit and clutter a shelf. Maybe someday I will have a huge house with a built in bar where I can store them. I am tired of this collection.

I know that doesn't help you, but I am just saying they are going to clutter or be thrown away. But, fill them with cheap candy. I don't think the color of it really matters. No one is going to say, OMG the M&M's are all colors, they do NOT match her wedding.

This has happened to me too!! I have wayyyy too many shot glasses now and don't have the space to display them all.

And even before I got over collecting shot glasses, I still wouldn't have wanted one engraved with other people's names and wedding date. Just saying.

I have to say I disagree.. I say go for it. It's a cute idea. I have a ton of shot glasses that are displayed and I love them all. I would agree with the other girls in that M&Ms are your best bet. They are small and work for a lot plus you can special order your colors.
