Wedding Favours

The topic of discussion today is; wedding favours.  Just incase anyone missed my title. 

My favours have already been sorted; I know exactly what I want.

These personalized hard candy lollies are made in Melbourne and taste great!  They're the most popular choice as gifts right now because of the fact that you can have your name and date written on it and modify it to suit any Event.
Their minimum order is 10kg which works out to be about 5000 pieces.  Divide that by 300 guests and each guest (Mr and Mrs) will get about 16 pieces.  Kevin has been fighting with me about this because he reckons 3 or 4 lollies per person is more than enough.  I don't understand his logic.

My dilemma right now is the type of container to present them in.  I've looked at lots of fancy choices like little mint/ candle tins, or fancy heart shaped jars etc.  But ultimately I need to remember that;

i) I'm not going to carry glass jars to Fiji
ii) People are going to discard the container once they finish the lollies

So the mostly likely choice is:

clear plastic pillow pack
These clear pillow packs come flat, so we girls will need to build an assembly line where we put the packs together, scoop out 16 lollies for each packet, then stick on the 'thank you' stickers.

So this is one task you'll all be helping out with!

Ant and I were discussing what type of transport we should choose.  My response?  'I want a mini van!!'  His response, 'No, don't be silly.'

I'm shattered.  Because I really wanted something spacey and comfortable.  Definitely no limo's for me.  Or champagne for that matter.  Sorry Sue!

  1. haha it would be cool turning up to the church in a kombi :)
    otherwise the normal fiji mini vans would need some decorating.
    When would you need help packing? You could probably get custom made pouches but that would be costly too.
