We are going to give wine bottles as favors at our wedding per couple. Now I also wanted to give each person a small box filled with either m&m's or jelly beans. I was discussing this with one of my co-workers and she told me not to do the candies because they were not classy to give people at a wedding. She said I should put macaroons in the boxes instead since it was classier.

Now Im kind of not considering giving out the candies anymore because of what she told me. I just went to a wedding two weeks ago and got a tin filled with jelly beans and thought it was cute and didn't think anything bad about it.

Should I listen to my co-worker and go with the macaroons or go with my idea of the candies???

TIA

Do what YOU want! And I'd personally much rather regular candy than macaroons...

Why would that be un-'Classy'. Gimme a break. Her saying that to you shows she has no 'class'

1 - dont listen to her. Either or is a good idea
2 - I think the bottles are more than enough

Everyone loves edible favors whether they are jelly beans or chocolate etc. I dont think people receive a favor and place it in an 'unclassy category'. Ignore her and if she is invited she gets nothing

She's probably one of those people who measure class by how much money you spend. I bet she wants you to put the macaroons in little louis vuitton tincans too.

Um, I don't think candies are tacky- who the hell thinks that??????? I just went to a wedding Saturday and they had candies as favors. I thought to myself 'Score!!!!!!!!' I like candy and I am sure many others do too. But, if you are doing wine bottles, I think that's enough too. Again, if you still want to give candy, do it!

I think 'classy' is the wrong word! Macaroons are more elegant than candy, but candy is more fun. It's your choice!

Is it your co-workers wedding? no it is not.it is your wedding. And you seem to think the candies are cute. Why wouldnt they be 'classy' if you had them packaged all nice? I think it would be fine and not at all unclassy. I say go for the candies!

i gave wine bottles and had hershey's miniatures scattered on the tables. IMO, chocolate goes WAY better with wine; two of my favorite things are wine and chocolate!!

Interesting that macaroons have now become classier...

Unfortuately, no matter what you give out, there will be someone who will complain or have a problem with it. Just do what makes you happy and dont worry about what other people think
