Can't decide and time is running out!

jkurczewski · May 2011

Our wedding is rapidly approaching, and we STILL have to get our favors! We are struggling with last-minute RSVPs. We are having a wedding of about 150 people, but only a handful of children. It is a church wedding, and the reception is in a ballroom of a hotel.

We are looking for something that is economical, but not stereotypical.

We originally were going to do customized shot glasses, and fill them with customized M&Ms. However, the shot glasses were going to be around $70 just to ship, on top of $150 for them. And the M&Ms were somewhere around $120 for a 7 lb. bag... but I have no idea how much we would really need?

Help is much appreciated!!

Deep breath! You can skip the favors if you'd like.

Edible favors are always appreciated. How about you just get the M&Ms and put them in a cellophane or tule bag? You could even get some M&Ms personalized and mix in with non-personalized to help with costs.

Agreed with PP. Skip the personalized shot glasses. They'll probably just end up in a drawer somewhere or being thrown out. Edible favors are the best kind.

Yeah, I was thinking edible too. FI doesn't like the price of customized M&M's, especially in comparison to regular M&Ms.

He found these boxes online, and he thinks we should just buy bulk chocolate candy from the grocery store.

He's thinking mini candy bars, hershey kisses, etc.

I guess I've just been so caught up in sticking to the color scheme that I'm getting to be too picky...

He actually just sent me these favor bags, which are also pretty cute:

skip all the personalization stuff. i would never use a shot glass with someone else's name on it. and a lot of people would just eat the m&m's and not noticed the customization. go to the dollar or discount store and buy a bunch of pretty little bags or even cellophane bags with ribbon, then go to a bulk food store and load up on candies. don't worry about the favors too much. it's just a little extra thing and it sounds like your busy enough with more important things.
