How to Make Chocolate Box Wedding Favors

The bride's gown may be pure white, but the favors can be pure chocolate.

Making your own chocolate box wedding favors is a simple alternative to buying expensive wedding favors. A box you put together yourself can be elegant and match the wedding's theme, and is rather tasty treat for the guest.

Instructions

1. Purchase small favor boxes for your wedding favor chocolates. A box that is about 2 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches tall is a good size for filling with chocolates and gourmet nuts. You may even choose to get small decorative bags. You can buy plain white boxes, or choose boxes that match the wedding colors.

2. Choose some pretty ribbon that matches the wedding colors to seal the boxes. Be aware that some companies will sell you boxes that are not put together already. If you are pressed for time, it might not be wise to purchase these items. Always inquire before purchasing.

3. Choose your chocolates. An inexpensive option is chocolate kisses, but you may opt for small gourmet chocolates, nuts and gummy bears.

4. Add customized seals to your boxes. You can go to a professional printer or use your own printer to stamp the couple's names in cursive letters on gold seal stickers.

Tips & Warnings

• Always keep in mind how many boxes and candies you will have to buy before embarking on this venture. This will help you stay on budget.

• If you want to go cheaper buy cheaper candies and place less candy in each box.
