as if i don't worry enough about our wedding, my mind has strolled into some new unchartered grounds of paranoia...i've always liked the idea of chocolates as favors (fh and i are world renowned chocoholics, lol!)...yesterday i started thinking that sept 5th can still be very warm as well as the days leading up to it...i see a choco meltdown in my future...
anyone doing choco favors in the summer? how early are you going to get them? what are your plans for storage?
aggggggggghhhhhhh
adding the link for anyone that wants to check them out, (they are tastyyyyyyyyyy!):
maybe a cooler or can they be kept inside until they are ready to be displayed, given out?

my friend ordered chocolates this past march and they made it a-ok in shipping, and it was so f*ing cold here that it was perfect to just keep them out, so i think we are ok on the shipping part (i hope) lol!

Re: chocolate favors
I had them for our e-party last july. We got them about 3 days before. Godiva will hold them for you. And we told the RH to keep them in the fride to keep them cold. and they were great the day of. no problems what so ever.

thanks so much, godiva is my second choice- i was going to go over to the store on madison and check it out vs. cocoaroom, i am happy to learn they will hold them, thanks again!
