Sweet Wedding Favors

Thought I had just about seen it all until I went to the wedding of a friend's son and was given candy wedding favors. They were not just any old candy, but personalized mints.

I didn't know if I should be insulted because they thought my breath was bad, or happy to get free mints. I opted for the mints which came in a little box with the bride and groom's name and the date of the wedding. How cute.

Thinking it must have cost quite a bit to have these made up (and having a daughter of marrying age), I cornered my friend at the reception to ask about them. Was I ever amazed when he told me how little they cost and how quickly they were delivered.

Seems the kids couldn't decide until the last minute what to order, but the candy favors made it in plenty of time. Quick service, tasty mints - can't get any better than that.

What I didn't do was ask why the bride was wearing a white dress with black trim. Some things are better left unknown.

I still have the box of mints given as a wedding favor and show them to all my friends. What a great idea.
