Wedding preparations (Wedding favors)

Searched for wedding favors at the local stores and can't seem to get any of our preferences. Goggled online for the longest time and finally HTB found something that he really liked! 

So happens that the online sample is my name, ignore the surname please.

Hence, we went ahead to make the online purchase and as it's a placecard holder which not everyone will use, I've decided to mix 2 different wedding favors so that guests can pick what they preferred. 

I made another selection for a customized tins which I can put customized candies / chocolates so that kids and other adults who do not prefer a placecard holder can take this as a souvenir. Can't seem to find the right tins in Singapore shops so went ahead to buy from the website as well and customized the sticker that will be pasted on the tins.

Other stuff that were being purchased via iShopUSA includes the badges for brothers and sisters to wear in the morning gatecrash, as well as a Groom and Bride badges for fun. 

Budget has exceed from our targeted spending but what's important is that we managed to buy what is special and preferred. Hotel does provide for wedding favors but none is to our liking. So we asked the sales person to change it into cash value and get in another room with additional top up instead of taking the wedding favor for the sake of it. :)

Made our order today and can't wait for it to arrive in 2-3 weeks time! Another item down from the list!

Since I'm getting a mini tin, the whole idea is to get in customized M&Ms from US and I did a whole load of researches and email on shipping process, cost and how long can I keep etc. Played around with the online step by step customization guide and was very sure that I'm buying it, but it's very pricey! 

Spent more time on customization to something that will be more relevant to our wedding and confirmed on the following. However, the shipping cost was mad and I hesitated for a long time. Luckily, one of my GF is visiting US and I can arrange for delivery to her hotel instead! Thought that everything was fine and placed an order with her US address, feeling happy over it! 

But, who knows the image of the laughing Buddha cannot get through due to some copyright issues and was asked to change and a new photo needs to be submitted for order to be processed. Can't think of anything else as the other image was also being rejected and time was too short for processing and to be delivered to my friend on time. 

M&Ms at Candilicious looks damn good too, but it's off my budget. Definitely not worth it since it's not even customized. Hence, gave up the whole M&M's idea. 

Oh oh oh, so sad! 

Chanced upon Fulvia and she is doing a business selling biscotti! Thought that it will be interesting if she could do mini biscotti to fit into my tin as well. Gave her the measurements and locked her bakery for my wedding favors! Ta-da, it's settled! No M&Ms but I'm still happy!
