Oooh I love the tootsie roll favor! Both yummy & colorful (and not too expensive either!)
those truffles look yummy!
i love love love love these pics!!!!! 
On the first one…when you go to the details page, you can see they made them into stickers. What is the machine they’re using called, and where can I get one?
it’s the xyron machine to make the stickers. you can get them on joanns and make sure to utilize those 50% off coupons or even the 40% off ones when they send or post them! good luck!
ms. violet - love love love the pics! they’re so pretty and unique.
Those are some cute favor ideas!
Thanks janie! 
Jen - excellent question. That is called a Xryon Machine. It can do several things - make stickers, laminate on both sides and make magnets. Xyron has several different models to choose from. It’s great o have especially if you’re into arts & crafts, but it’ll cost you a bit. Depending on the model, it can range from the smallest sticker machine of $9.99 to $200 I believe. I have the Xyron 510 which costs $49.99. Cartridges average about $15 -$20 per refill.
Visit http://www.xyron.com for more information.
I bought mine at Michaels, but you can also get it at Joanns (www.joanns.com)
janie, you beat me to it. =P
yes don’t forget those coupons! you usually get the michaels coupon in your circulars. if you sign up to joanns.com mail, they’ll send you emails from time to time.
hahah - great minds think alike miss violet. =)
I think I might have to get myself one…they sound great! Thanks for all the info ladies.
Hi, I actually have a Xyron machine that I will not be using anymore. It’s the 510 and will make things up to 5″ wide. I’m more than happy to pass it along for free to another bride. I guess first to email me will get it (am I allowed to do this here?). I’ll post our wedding website URL as a link from my name and you can find my email address there.
Kate - I emailed you!
Those first 9 photos are of my friends wedding! And her super fabulous bridal shower!
woah woah woah!!!
that first wedding is mine!
weddingbee, i’ve been meaning to send you pics (we exchanged some emails earlier). looks like they already made it to your site somehow. i’m getting my pro pics this weekend.
uvsu4evaa & margaret: those are really great pictures.. i just had to post it right away!!! please be sure to send us your pro pics!
and congrats by the way!
oooh the truffles in a pot is so unique and delicious.
I was just wondering where i could get truffles similar to those? Does anyone know? I thought that idea was absolutely amazing!
caseroo7 - are you talking about the very last one in the purple pot? i’m sure you can easily find those truffles, finding a pot similiar to that may need some research…
We’re having truffles as favors at our wedding. We ended up just calling a local truffle maker whose truffles are sold at a nearby specialty food store. There are many artisinal chocolate makers who will help you out. Our guy even wrapped the little boxes in paper and ribbon in our wedding colors.
Hi Ladies,
I love the pictures. However, does anyone know where I can start looking for the mini purple flower pots? I REALLY need them!
Thanks!
Mrz ILW - I think one option is to make them. I’m pretty sure Michaels carry miniature pots that you can paint.
I think these are it..

You’ll need stencils for the writing part.
Miss Violet- Yeah i was talking about the last truffle with the spiral on them! I thought they were so cute, and so far online ive mainly found only dark and milk chocolate truffles. Not the white like this one. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!
caseroo7 - Godiva sells white chocolate truffles for sure, but online they only sell by assortments. You’ll have to go to the store to look at it.

I found white chocolate truffles here:

And these golfballs just look so cute.. at Lake Champlain:

I also saw a white chocolate one just like the picture in the assortment sampler on Lake Champlains website. I guess you’ll have to call them about making bulk orders on that.
Also found some here.

Another one..

Or what you can do is find a local chocolate shop and have the custom make it for you. Hope this info. helps!
I LOVE their boxes!! Do you know where they purchased them? I love the orange on the bottom and the “kraft” top.
michelle - those boxes were from greengelato’s wedding. See comment #16. I don’t have her contact information but I’ll try to find out for you. have you seen her flickr page, she has more pictures there.
Thank you so much!
Michelle - greengelato (Margaret) wrote back to me, she got her favor boxes from http://www.papermart.com

Thanks so much miss violet!!!
