The flavor that's inside the favor

Very easy, right? Chocolate brown and light blue. I wish. Although this was a common theme for the year in the US, finding the right favors which really reflected our theme was hard. There were a lot of fancy stuff like candle holders, plate decors, bottle openers, none of which reflected our personalities.

Then, as again, I saw at Jean M this really simple favor box which we can put anything in. By the month of March, we had set our sights on the box and it was pretty easy to fall in love with it, but it took us a while to decide what to put inside the thing. A month after, Hoen found this ad somewhere about customized Hershey's and M&Ms. We checked out the site and we just adored the idea! We thought about how we can possibly transport all that chocolate and we opted to just let it be and get the flight attendant's help when we're on board the plane. It will be winter here but still hot in cebu. How will that be? I guess they will be placed inside the cooler right away and placed in the box the day before the wedding. I can already imagine Yaul, Mamay, Megan and Marilyn helping in getting these into the boxes. Quality time, eh? Hehe.

I had just purchased the customized ribbons last month. I cut them into 28 inches which is enough to cover the box. These ribbons have our names and the date on them. Light blue ribbons with Chocolate Brown foil. I cut around 170 ribbons. Wanted to cut 200 of them for safety but the rest of the ribbons might be used for something else, say, the flowers or whatever. So I'll wait 'til we get there to decide.
