Who Doesn’t Love Chocolate
February 28th, 2008 @ 12:40 pm by Mrs. Gardenia
A while back, I posted about our wedding favors and asked for suggestions on how to fill the containers that we had purchased ahead of time. We got so many suggestions and found a great solution to our problem. Costco has tons of chocolates/candies that are only available during the holiday. We decided to use their truffles from Around the World as our wedding favor, since they needed to be pre-packaged weeks before our wedding day. I didn’t want to be stressing and losing sleep over these favors days before the wedding, so we needed something that would stay well inside our containers without the need for refrigeration.
The truffles were individually wrapped and came in 6 assorted flavors. We filled each container with 6-7 truffles each and used a sage green satin ribbon that I purchased in downtown L.A. a while back during one of my wedding shopping sprees. We then bought artificial white flowers to put on each favor as an accent, along with our tag. We used the same monogram that one of our groomsmen designed for us (the same one that’s on our cake) on our tags.We recruited my cousins and my MOH’s bf to help in filling the favor containers while I baked some brownies as a thank you to our laborers
The finished product.
We got so much praise over these truffles and they became an instant hit at our wedding!!!

We got similar boxes from manila…
Did you have to tie another string to tie the favor tags to the ribbon?
I’m curious about the truffles. Is the brand called “Around the World”? I searched for them online but couldn’t find anything. I know you said they were at Costco during Xmas, but wondering if I could get a hold of them elsewhere. Mrs. Gardenia, please share your secrets!

About Me: After 9 years of dating, I’m finally getting hitched and planning a multi-cultural wedding in Orange County, California. I think making brownies is my secret passion in life - I will make my mark in this world through them (a la Betty Crocker). Aside from baking, I also enjoy scrapbooking, being a dessert connoisseur (current fave: French macaroons), photography and I’m also a self confessed spa virgin turned addict.
That is such a great idea for favors!
