A Treat and a Seat

August 23rd, 2010 @ 1:56 pm by Mrs. Plaid

Let’s talk favors (again)! Wedding favors, I mean. I knew from the second I started planning that I was going to have edible favors. That’s what I’d be most excited about receiving, so I know other people will appreciate them, too.

I started racking my brain for the perfect favor. And then I saw this picture (a la Martha Stewart, course).

Then the ball began rolling. I can make these tree/cone things and have lollipops sticking out of them. We have the perfect lollipop molds at work that I might be able to borrow. They look sort of like this:

Don’t they go perfectly with our Texas Chic theme? Now I also need a solution for how to assign people to tables at the reception. Here’s what I’m thinking:

What do y’all think? What are you doing for favors and escort cards?

PS: I have to wait to make the actual lollipops until about a month prior to the wedding, and then I’ll have to wait until after I receive all of the RSVPs before I can label them with table assignments.

Love the Texas lollipop idea. Looks like it will be a very cute touch! Will you be making them all different colors?

I don;t mean to be a downer, but does anyone actually eat lollipops? Maybe it’s just me, but I haven’t seen anyone eat a lollipop since I (and my peers) were about 9. The thought of my parents’ friends and extended family sucking on a swirly stick… sorry, just doesn’t go! Are you sure about this?

@Pastachica: I actually did think about this. I’m planning to make them out of chocolate. If people don’t want to eat it off the stick they can break it off. Originally I was gonna do half chocolate, half lemon or something but I think I’m going to do all chocolate. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it!

It’s fantastic you can make the lollipops yourself. I love the texas shape, makes it really personalized. I’m planning on edible favors as well. Am definitely purchasing them though. It’d probably kill me to make 300 lollipops or some other candy.

Ahh now chocolate… that is a different matter altogether! Guaranteed happy friends and relatives there! Sounds fantastic.
