jeffandcarissa's Chocolate wedding

well... we are making homemade hot chocolate mix with marshmellows and adding 2 doughnuts from my fiances fav. bakery and putting them in the "sweet dreams from constance and kevin" bags i posted on my blog

I thought I was orginal until I started watching wedding shows recently and some bride was giving krispy kremes as favors, but I think its our own how we are doing it :)

I'm still torn... I'm thinking about either flower seeds in a cute little pouch with a cheesy little note "love grows", cd's with all of the music from the wedding or little candies (either m&m's or jelly beans)... and I'm sure that before I actually decide I'll have another ten ideas added to that list. Ha!

I'm doing the heart place card holder/picture frame and heart coasters... If I have some left over I'll be able to give them away as gifts or ebay lol... I would want my guest to have something to remember our special day...  I was thinking about doing the candy buffet and candy favors... But I don't want to have a huge left over of candies...

yeah, i am still up in the air about favors.... I dont want to give them something they are gonna throw in the junk drawer. Something edible...according to Samantha the wedding planner I adore on one of my wedding tv shows says something edible usually is the best way to go.

This site has a lot of cute ideas...

since we are having a cinderella themed wedding i am getting plastic glass looking little sjippers and putting personalized m&m's in them

we're having an apple theme so are favors are apple cinnamon teas

We are giving each guest a little bag or favour box with Hershey's Kisses inside, with a note saying "Hugs and Kisses from the new Mr. and Mrs.". We have a bit of a candy / dessert theme going on, so it fits in perfectly!

We are giving engraved fans to the Ladies and a traditional Hungarian spirit (palinka)-miniature to the Gentlemen. Everything will be wrapped in organza and ribbon.

We were going to do personal M&Ms..but have now decided to scale back to only making a recipe book with our fav. recipes in it.

hey, im having a candy buffet. my guests will be able to not only eat throughout the night, but be able to take some home with them. im getting food safe plastic bags, slappin some kind of monogrammed sticker on them and supplying ribbon ties. people can fill the bags and take them with them...that way, if they dont want, they dont take.

We are doing a couple of things.

Keeping with our Tiffany theme are are giving candles that look l ike Tiffany Boxes. CD's with our wedding songs and since we're doing a candy buffet guests will be able to take chinese take out boxes of candy.

A bucket of kisses from the mr & mrs!

Martini gel candles!!!!

I think we are doing small blue mesh bags with a ahnd fan, sunblock, chapstick, and bug spray since we are having it outdoors at night.
