favors, please help

ugh 12 days to my wedding and I STILL don't have favors. I went to the city today to look for headpieces and favors. My mom works with somebody who owns this store in the city so we went there. THey have some house type things not many so didnt have alot to choose from. I did see one thing that was kinda cute and the packaging was brown and blue so would go with my theme. It had this round small hat type box and the box was open, the bottom part had the stuff on top of it and the lid is on the side and had plastic wrapping around it. It was a package of fudge cookies, this long tube with cocoa mix and cinnamon powder. Not crazy about it but only thing there that would even work

I am going tomorrow to a favor store so hopefully they'll have something. I received a nice favor months ago at a wedding and it was from this store.

Ok so question, what would you love to receive as a favor. I dont want alot of traditional things out there. My MOH mentioned martini glasses which is cute and maybe do that with a box of chocolates. Also was looking at the mini bottles of champagne maybe with truffles. Or doing this bowl set with chopsticks. I really am lost and obviously don't even have time to keep thinking about it, i also like sectional dishes or something like that. Or the mugs with the cocoa are cute.

what would you love to get, and would you prefer something for the house or edible or a combo?

Trying to see what the majority would say

Thank you

I loved the favor a while back you posted the sushi set...That was so adorable. You can also do those funky martini glasses or wine glasses and put a small bottle of wine or martini mix with it depending on which glass you picked. By funky I mean those decorative ones with a lot of colors. I happen to LOVE those but not sure the price on them.

Did u look at wrapwithus.com. They have cute favors there?

oh that is a cute idea, thank you i am going to check it out.

Yeah i love the sushi set too. I am actually going to go to that store either tomorrow or tuesday and see if they have as many as i would need in stock. If they do then i might just go with that. But just in case they dont have like 150 or so in stock

Denise,

Edible is the best especially if you're on a time constraint. I have the perfect thing for you. Marie Belle chocolates which come in brown and blue packaging.

Ps if you're still thinking about Marie Belle you should order it!!!! That means something if you saved it. Plus, i can vouch for the taste. They are DELICIOUS
They also have amazing hot cocoa and teas in beautiful brown and blue tins.

yeah i had called her first and let her know right away that i am getting married in 2 weeks so to see if she can even do it. She asked if i am getting lace or any rhinestones or designs and i said no just a plain long cathedral veil and she said ok thats no problem then. I bought the 3 yard cathedral veil with just silk lining but straight edge, and then a second piece that is the blusher also with the silk lining.

But yours is so gorgeous, the work on it is WOW. She also showed me a picture of her niece bc she said she had a niece that was philippino and german i think, she said she showed it to you.

I know i was walking by and kept thinking OMG i have to come shopping at this store soon lol

thank you i will check it out

Haha! Margaret is so funny. Isn't she like a little grandma. Her store doesn't even feel like it should be in the east village! It's like a grandma's living room!

There are tons of cute shops and restaurants there. It's such a great area.

Aww, thanks so much for complimenting the veil. I love it so much. The details are great because my actual wedding dress (not the one in my album, that's the reception dress) is VERY simple. No beads, no lace so the veil is really key!!

Let's get you to order some favors soon!!!

definitely go with mariebelle...i'm actually using a company started by a woman that used to work for them (it's in oregon though and the box is red and white) and also one of my friends managed her store for awhile too...she (mariebelle) is an awesome person and her chocolate is out of this world...being that her boxes go w/ your color scheme i think it's a perfect fit...i've received one as a favor before and i ate them on the way home!
