cookies only [no ice cream 
] self-sealing bags
dotty, food-safe waxed tissue home printed labels
=
Please ignore the misaligned label. Thanks to my 10 year old printer’s bad feed tray, I now have a full sheet of junk labels to use for mockups…whee!
The Martha Stewart waxed paper is too expensive but has a nice weight and waxiness to it. The Container Store tissue is a nice price ($4.99 for a 25’ roll that is 20″ wide and yields 60 favor wraps) but very flimsy and definitely not sturdy enough on its own. Hence the inner, self-sealing PaperMart bags. And yes, there are art paper, wrapping paper, cheaper paper options out there, but this bride is done with intensive research and making decisions on the fly instead.
The majority of the cookies will be sheathed in The Container Store tissue and sealed with one of three different stickers. Yummy in my tummy. Well, my guests’ tummies. Although I’m sure just a few will be consumed during the wrapping two nights before.
Oh yeah, the process. Unfortunately, no cookies for me tonight. So I drew one of the correct diameter (3.25″ to 3.5″). I did not enclose them in their self-sealing plastic sleeves as they are still en route.
Instructions courtesy of the [eeeevil] empire. Although I’m sure most can figure it out without. And yes, considering I have to do these two nights before so that I don’t send my guests home with stale cookies, my priorities are a bit jumbled. Time to get back to “more important” things…*sigh*.

OMG…. we have complete crazy aligned minds today… we JUST finished packing all of our Diddi Riese cookies up in PaperMart bags with our motif stickers on them…
We’re having Diddy Riese favors too! Yum!
You could possible make the wraps up to stage 4 (one flap left) ahead of time if you want to save some time when the actual cookies get there. Not sure if the time saved would be worth it though.
it’s okay, we have to wait until the day before to stuff our chinese take out boxes with creampuffs (that have danger of melting), then rush them to the church’s giant refrigerator (god knows we have no fridge room at our house to store 200 chinese take out boxes) to be distributed after the ceremony.
you’re way ahead of the game! and i do like CS’ idea of premaking the wraps up to stage 4, so that all you have to do is stuff, seal and go!
I’m thinking of getting diddy riese cookies as favors too. Do they give discounts for buying in bulk?
So cute, and so yummy! 
CS, great idea! mr. lime and i started folding them all the way except for sticking the sticker on last night.
aeodorothee, i LOVE cream puffs. i may have to crash.
bruinangie, i have no idea yet. maybe miss lemon will have an answer. i was going to call a few days ahead to warn them/order ahead if i can. a dozen is already pretty cheap.
