A Sweet Candy Wedding

My daughter got married last week, and she is in no means a traditionalist, which is why she decided to offer candy wedding favors to all her guests. I've been to a lot of weddings in my time, but never have I received a box of candy mints.

She had a hard time deciding on what to order. Should she offer Mint to Be Bride and Groom Mints, personalized "Lovesavers," or how about foil wrapped Jordan almonds. One of her good friends is named Jordan, so she was leaning toward them. In the end, she opted for the Mint to Be mints because she could have them personalized with their name and date of the wedding.

As the father, I was more than a little concerned about the cost, but when I saw their prices, I was amazed. How they can provide such a service for what they charge and still make a profit is beyond me. But, I'm not complaining.

We got the order in plenty of time (faster than expected, in fact), and everything was spelled right. That may not be a problem if your name is Smith or Jones, but if you have a Slavic surname with few vowels like we have, then you really appreciate it.

If you are looking for something a little bit different as favors for you wedding guests, go ahead and order some candy. It will make the ceremony that much sweeter.
