Fab Finds Friday: Custom Photo M&M’s

Posted by Khris in Fab Finds Friday

Fab Finds Friday is a weekly showcase of some of the fabulous resources available to the wedding community. This week’s wedding goodness comes to you from M&M’s.

If you’re inclined to indulge your most narcissistic fantasies on your wedding day, M&M’s has something sweet in store for you!

You’ve probably known about custom M&M’s candies where you can place nearly any text on them for a while. Now M&M’s has gone craaaaazy with candy printing technology that allows you to place pictures on their yummy little candies. I know! Genius!

I’m thinking that, in place of a photo, you could substitute a great graphic – like your monogram or custom logo – for an ultra-cool, ultra-customized favor. Neat!

Do check out the site and their printing “dos and don’ts” page before you buy. See the M&M’s site here.

Ribbon Favor Bags

Posted by Khris in DIY Projects & Tutorials, Favors + Gifts

One of my favorite craft projects is coming up with favor and gift packaging. (I especially love the holidays just because I can make and wrap boxes. It’s sick, I know.)

Finding nice favor packaging that’s not generic and that doesn’t cost more than the gift itself can be the Holy Grail of wedding favors, can’t it?

Well, dear readers, I have an easy-yet-beautiful favor packaging that won’t break the bank.
