I kind of knew pretty early on — being not so crafty and having participated in plenty of favor-making activities for others’ weddings (thank you very much) — that I would not want to make my own favors per se.I realize of course that this makes them more expensive, but it was one job I was willing to pay for.

Mr. Petunia and I began by agreeing to have an edible favor. Enter Boca Bons! A Boca Bon is “truffle, fudge and brownie all rolled into one” and my, are they rich! They come in many flavors, including Cappuccino Almond, Peanut Parfait, and Triple Chocolate, which were the ones we tasted and which look like this:

The Boca Bons company does a very cute packaging job. When I went to visit them, they had catalog upon catalog from which to choose the little “trinkets” to decorate the boxes. These are their seaside-inspired ones, though many other options were available:

(They also make these super adorable cookie purses!)

But we still thought we could add a touch of our own. Enter the wine charms I found at Wrapables.com:

And what do you get when you put these together?

TA DA!

Mr. Petunia prefers the first sample one, while I’m more fond of the latter. Perhaps we could have both?

All in all, they won’t come cheap. Each favor will run about $6.50, including our cost for purchasing the wine charms and the cost for the Boca Bons themselves, but we just can’t resist!
