If you remember, when I had my shower, the favors were these delightful boxes of chocolate shells with chocolate rocks and sugar-in-the-raw sand.
I loved these soooo much and wanted to put them in the out of town bags, but in the end it just wasn’t going to be fiscally possible so I gave up the idea and started thinking of making lobster cookies.
Well, thanks to Miss Onion (who’s inspiration I keep drawing from in a way that I am hoping doesn’t seem stalker-esque) and her post on marzipan pears, I now have 77 bags of marzipan shells with sugar-in-the-raw sand to put in the out-of-town bags.
The inspiration for the labels came from Miss Plumeria and her Costco cookies. I made my labels from leftover scraps from the invitations, and then I printed the nutritional information on clear labels and put them on the back.
I think they came out well and I am glad to have something similar to the shower favor’s look to put in the Out-of-Town bags.
Wow! Great job!
very cute!
super cute idea!!! 
really cute idea~
very very cute - such a good idea!
that is so cool.
You are a much better women that I am - I wouldn’t have the willpower to package all those yummy looking shells without eating one, two…eh, a few… They look fantastic!
mmmmmm!!! I LOVE marzipan!
Oh don’t think I didn’t eat any, AOEBuckeye
PS - what does AOE stand for…there are a few brides on this site who’s moniker starts with those letters.
Where did you get your marzipan shells? I’m having a beach wedding and those would be so cute for favors too.

Miss Onion blogged about them here:

Good luck!
Super cute… The boxes are adorable.
How long does the Marzipan last for? Can you order it a few weeks in advance or do you have to have it fresh? I’ve never had it…
Hi Katydid…I am assuming they last a while…the only instructions are to keep them in a cool, dry place. My wedding is in 5 weeks and I am not too worried about it
I think this is great fun!
Hooray! I’m so glad to inspire you — that’s the best part about weddingbee — sharing ideas. The packaging and everything looks amazing! I’m sure people will LOVE them. Enjoy.
Funny..I did the lobster cookie thing too! I got mine at Cranberry Island Kitchen. They were a hit!

Love ‘em - I’ve decided that I am going to use similar packaging for my future-sister-in-laws bridal shower!
