What do you girls think?
Okay, I found these DIY favor box kits and am definitely considering them. They're $1.75 a box, it would cost us like $225 for all of them and then we'd have to get treats...what do you think?
I would get it with the monogram like this (ours is F):
But it comes in chocolate and ivory(  ), so I'd get this color:

I think those are neat!
If you can afford them, get them. I think they look great.

They look great. Like feb said, the only consideration would be cost. Are they affordable after you fill them?

I think they're lovely! But would the price include filling or is that seperate? You might want to add that up as well...

I love them! But they seem kindof expensive to me. If you can afford them, get them.

I like them! What would you fill them with? Just candy of some sort?
Remember to think TOTAL cost... the boxes and candy before you order them.

I am thinking of putting the 5 white Jordan almonds in there...which would be really cheap at walmart or sams club. I have about $350 planned for favors, so it should work and we should be able to get bubbles, too.

I have some bubbles if you want them. There are about 130 of them. Let me know if you do!

Suzy, what are the containers like? Will I be able to find others that match? I very well may take you up on that!

I tied a thin red ribbon around each to dress it up a little. You could tie a brown one maybe. Let me know!!

Those are really cute, CW! How big is the box? I think it must be smaller than it looks since you said you'd only put 4-5 jordan almonds in it. Where are you getting those from (for the other brides that may want to steal your idea)? I'm sad I didn't see these before my wedding. I may have used them too!!

Amy read my mind--or maybe I read hers!  I was thinking the same thing. The boxes look big. Five almonds would be rattling around in there, wouldn't they?

They come in two sizes, I would get the 2" cube. They're from americanbridal.com under the DIY favor section. I'm really still not sure what I'm going to put in them...almonds or maybe those Choxies, they were inexpensive, too.
Suzy, I would love those bubbles! E-mail me or private message me or something and we can arrange shipping and payment or whatever, let me know how much you would like! Thanks!!
