Ok .. So I know I get married in 3 years, but saw these favour boxes and had to have them and I thought they were unusual as I have never seen them before! What do you Ladies think? I still have to decide what to put in them!

oh, bigger than they look, lol. Have you got a colour scheme yet? We are thinking of flower bulbs (one that will come up every year) something like these:-

Obviously in our colour scheme, but would need to colour or put paper behind at least 3 of the panels! What do you think? xx

I say the first thing I think of!

Kaz ... yeah the photo doesnt do it its full justice.
Red and silver I think will be the color scheme ( have time to change my mind tho!
The flowers are very pretty Kaz... its a nice idea

It's up to you huni, i think multi-coloured would look good, like smarties or sugar coated almonds, but I'm sure it would be nice if it matched your theme also :)
CommentAuthorstarlighthunny
Roxy .. we did try them with m and m's...............the diferent colours looked quite nice and they took about a quater of a big pack... so I think I might need alot of sweets! lol

Sugared almonds are quite a bit bigger than m&m's though so you would need as many! You can get silver food dye if you've time to make something yourself!

I love those! How much were they? Were they expensive?
I have no ideas for favours yet, I want something unusual :-) lol.
I think they would look gorgeous with something colourful inside. What about Millions? you know the wee chewie sweeties? You can get them in different colours? you could stack them? or dolly mixture

Petra - In my eyes they werent that expensive - £5.99 for 10.
Millions I think will be a great idea for the kiddies, not sure whether the adults would appreciate them tho. I like the stack idea tho.... hmmmmm given me something to think about now Petra!

No prob hun, the peppermint creams are the easiest to make and can easily be coloured, just add a few drops of colouring when you add the peppermint essence! xx
*And you can always use strawberry or orange essence or lemon juice instead!

CommentAuthorjo Santa
