Remember how I said we are going to do chocolate numbers for favors? Well, I thought I would show you the mock-up of how we’re planning on packaging these bad boys. Without further ado:
I made the boxes with the help of my Scor-pal, and used a Martha Stewart punch to do the lace. I also used a small, clear plastic treat bag for the chocolate. The green cardstock isn’t the right shade, but I used what I had on hand. I’ll be on the lookout for a good olive-y colored paper so I can start cutting and scoring the boxes. The best part is that I can have the boxes done way in advance (as in, I can get cracking now) and make the chocolates about 3-4 weeks prior to the wedding. The name cards won’t be attached until we give the final head count to the caterer and if we have to make a table change, I can just untie the ribbon and move the name card.
So, be honest. What do you think?

Box It Up
They look great! But how do you get the chocolate to stay in place and not fall on its side, etc?
Those are so adorable and such an original idea! I love them.
Impressed. No, blown away! These are amazing. You crafty little devil 
Maybe you could give us a “how to make box” tutorial?
They look great!
And you probably already know this, but if you make them 3-4 weeks out, just make sure you temper the chocolate so that it doesn’t “bloom.”
@Nstar: The bags are flat, so there isn’t much wiggle room. Plus the chocolate sticks to it a little, so I’m not to worried about them falling over. I have the bag taped to the box with some double-sided tape to help keep the bag in place, too.
@Mrs. Cookie: Thanks! I’m planning on doing a post with a how-to sometime soon. Probably after I find the right color cardstock.
you MADE the boxes? There you go again wowing me with your DIY genius
Wow sister, you are TALENTED!
Holy crap!! Those look awesome. I almost want to steal your idea, but I don’t think I could pull it off!
I think these are fabulous… but holy snikeys, you have a lot of work to do! I’m with @AbbieOinCO. Much as I’d love to try it, I just know I couldn’t manage.
Looks fantastic, but exceptionally labor intensive.
Looks like a piece of poop. Sorry.
These are soooo cute! What a great idea. Are they doubling as favors?
@John: Um, you’d have to be a pretty talented critter to produce THAT, is all I gotta say.
So do people at say table 10 get twice as much chocolate as those at 1 or 2? 
If so, I’d want to sit there! j/k great idea!!
Alli and I would like to sit at table 10. 
They are adorable! What a fun idea and packaged so beautifully!!
These are even more incredible than I had imagined they would be. Nice job!! Your guests are going to be so excited!
That has to be the most creative favor I’ve seen in a long time…and I’ve been doing this for the last five years now. Nicely done!
A-MAZ-ING!
LAUGH OUT LOUD, alli!!!! That is my sister and I everyday…who’s getting the most chocolate today?
Those really are adorable, and I was wondering if you are making the numbers on the tables out of chocolate too?
Way to go on these. They look great.
Awesome — will you put a little tag on it saying “handmade by deviled egg”? You MUST get credit for this laborious, creative favor!
love them!
love it I can’t believe you MADE that box!
I can’t believe you made those boxes either! what a creative idea to do chocolate numbers as escort cards. you HAVE to post a “how to” on this!
@John: John that was so childish! To echo Stephanie on Full House, How Rude!
Amazing! Can you explain how you are going to display the numbers on the table?
Delicious!
