I think the favors are absolutely adorable!!! I ,might just have to steal the idea and do them with m&m's for myself

 

[MainStMandy]

Oh Sam I looooovveeeee this!!

 

[figmentfan814]

I love the favor idea, it sounds like everything came together perfectly!

You mentioned about carrying everything on to Orlando. I highly suggest shipping some things in advance to your hotel. We did this and it made things so much easier. I sent them by UPS and included our Name and Reservation # on the outside of the box. When we arrived at POR I had bell services delivery them to our room. This was such a time saver and now with the baggage fees it can save a lot.

Which plastic company did you end up using?

 

[PixyDusted]

Love the logo she made! Awesome!!

I LOVE skittles too! I even posted about it on my blog once, LOL, (mikkelpaige.squarespace.com) because I loved the new crazy cores skittles they came out with!

I love when placecards double as a favor!

 

[spacerangerqueen]

I loooove that logo for the label, totally awesome

 

[CinderelliT]

These are insanely awesome and unique! I love skittles. When I was pregnant with my son, I would crave them like crazy. It was also one of the only things I could eat when I had awful morning sickness, so they are now a staple in our house! LOL!

I can't wait to see them put together!

 

[ghoulish delight]

How adorable, Sam!!! I love your favors! It's such a great idea! And so affordable! Those labels are great too!

 

[LLLBelle]

The favors are adorable. The stickers are very unique and who does not love Skittles

OMG sam! i love your idea for the favors-so adorable. its such a great feeling when you come up with something creative!

Thanks Steph, and I love that feeling.. mostly because it happens so infrequently lol!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. If someone doesn't like gelatin I am sure they will just give them to someone who does. I really think its an awesome idea though - it will be so colorful and happy looking to have them all be on a big table together.

Thats true, thanks

What a cute idea! And yay for doing it on the cheap

Totally don't worry about vegans or whatever. There (in my former-vegan opinion) is no such thing as a "yummy" vegan candy. M&Ms have milk product in them, most hard candes use gelitin or honey. It's just not worth the headache.

I have a ton of allergies and stuff, most significantly strawberries. I've now been to 5 weddings were chocolate covered strawberries were the favor. Never once - even at my cousin's wedding when I was in the bridal party - have I ever gotten "special" favors. And never once have I expected it. If you have allergies or are a vegan or whatever, you expect that you will get things you can't eat, and you politely give them to someone who can eat it. It's not worth the extra effort.

Okay.... yeah, I'm crabby. Sorry don't mean to be a grinch
But I say save the effort.

haha thanks Joanna, I'll stick to skittles then lol! I guess it is what I tell my 5 year old ballet students "You get what you get, and you don't get upset" lol! Your totally not a grinch btw!

I think the favors are absolutely adorable!!! I ,might just have to steal the idea and do them with m&m's for myself

Steal away! Thanks, it actually seems like it will be fairly simple, let me know if you need anything

Oh Sam I looooovveeeee this!!

Etsy rules doesn't it! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't hear about it on here.. thats a scary thought, a world without Etsy

haha thanks Vanessa, love the color coordinating letters lol! I was wondering about shipping stuff, I think it seems like the easiest option. Good to hear you didn't have any issues with it, I was a bit worried! I think that makes the most sense, plua not having to lug everything through MCO is a huge plus in my book!

Which plastic company did you end up using?

Very fast shipping, lots of options online, just make sure you order the caps too, I almost forgot to lol!

Love the logo she made! Awesome!!

I LOVE skittles too! I even posted about it on my blog once, LOL, (mikkelpaige.squarespace.com) because I loved the new crazy cores skittles they came out with!

hahaha I love it! I love skittles and bought the crazy color skittles when I first saw a commercial for them... they were very crazy lol! And the logo is from Etsy, which I am sooooo obsessed with right now, I guess if I have to have an addiction Etsy.com is pretty harmless to everyone but my wallet

I loooove that logo for the label, totally awesome

Thanks Becky! I've said it before, and I'll sya it again Etsy rocks

haha love it! And skittles cure morning sickness huh! I will store that tip away for a few years lol! The weird thing about them is they grow in size if they get wet... Dave acidently slaphed some water on the bowl of skittles and they almost didn't fit in the jars when I tried it last night, very bizarre

How adorable, Sam!!! I love your favors! It's such a great idea! And so affordable! Those labels are great too!

Thanks Anjanette! They were super easy to do, the hard part will be not "tasting" the skittles before the wedding lol!

The favors are adorable. The stickers are very unique and who does not love Skittles

Aww thanks! I think I may need to go to Skittleholics annonymus before the wedding though lol, I couldnt stop "sampling" them last night

OOOOHHHHH! I love your favors! I can't wait to see the finished project!! Skittles are my favorite? Can you get personalized skittles like you can m&m's? It would probably up the price but would be fun! Which seller on Etsy made your stickers? I may have to get some of those for myself

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Love the favors as well, especially the tag! I love the stickers you had designed!

Never thought of that! Cool idea, I will research it The seller was MAUpromos but you can find tons of sellers with all different designs if you run a search... actually the seller I bought from had a few tropical deisgns that would probably work for you Adelia

Love the favors as well, especially the tag! I love the stickers you had designed!

Thanks!

 

[Tink&PirateMama]

Wow Sam! Those are great favors!! What a great deal on them too- I love it!!

Also- I am vegan, and I would not expect anything different at all- I wouldn't worry about it. You have enough to think about!

Girl, I can not wait to see your wedding pictures- it is just going to be incredible!!

 

[Debrn]

How weird I'm at work last night and a girl I work with is talking about her cousins wedding dress I was like I have heard this story before and I said is she from Newton having a Disney Wedding she says yes and it was you How funny what a small world. I'm sure Jess will tell you the story.

That means when she is still honeymooning it up in Disney, you will have to grill Jess at work for wedding details and share with us, right?
