When you think of favors or recuerdos in a Mexican wedding you think of something plastic with lace. My mom and aunt kept asking me what type of favors I was going to have and since I don’t want to ruin the surprise of the candy buffet I insisted on simply stating candy. I don’t have anything against recuerdos but I rather have something that my guest can eat instead of just throw away.
Here is an example of a recuerdo:
Like I’ve previously mentioned here we are having a candy buffet. When trying to figure out where our guest were going to put the candy in I began to look around at different ideas.
One option was bags:
And the last one was take out boxes:


Here is where we thank our guest for sharing with us:
Here is our names and wedding date:
Many hours and miles of ribbon later we finally finished our boxes for our candy buffet. I am really happy on how they turned out especially since my HBoO and I burned ourselves on the glue gun on more than one occasion.
Total cost of this project approximately was about $25 for 100 boxes all completed.
What do you think of our boxes? What kind of favors are you going to have at your reception?
So crafty and you must have MUCH patience! I LOVE them!
Those are SO cute! You're doing such a fab job incorporating your colours.We're doing a candy buffet favor as well and recently picked up white bags… now to figure out how to tag them!
You did such a great job! I'm doing a candy buffet too and getting my pint size chinese take out boxes for $10 at Smart n Final(50 packs are $5). Now I just need to figure out how to decorate them.
