website & was thrilled with classic bag, an asstment of 45 truffles of 3 types for abt $13. If I gave everyone one of each type in a little bag, the total cost per each would be about $2 ( assume the bags cost abt $1 each).
I was all set to start to search for bags in a wine or burgandy color that I could get for cheap. I started on my online search, got the mail & got an invitations by dawn catalog. I went through the whole catalog & while I didn't find any bags, I did find some boxes.
I also found some cookie bags. which brought me back to my first thought of doing cookies with a heart cookie cutter at the tables.
That got changed to at the end maybe with coffee "to go". But wedding in May.
Then thought since we are doing a donation & having bud vases as centerpieces/take aways, don't want too much.
But still want something edible.
So, what would you prefer as favor:
three bagged lindt lindor truffles at beginning
or
cookies at end with bottle of water?

We are doing a donation to charities that help diabetes, epilepsy & mental illness. And we will have a card on the table for each guest that explains this. As something for guests to "take away" our table 'centerpieces" will actually be bud vases with 2 or 3 roses on the table - enough for one vase per each couple. The edible thing was just something I wanted. I was trying to figure out what to do. Then on another question someone mentioned the lindt lindor truffles, I figured that would be perfect.
Until I saw the catalog with the cookie bags. I work at a catering hall & I think it's a nice gesture for a winter wedding to allow guests to stop at a "send off station" before they leave to pick up a baked treat (cookies or brownies) & some coffee, tea or hot cocoa on their way out.
But our wedding will be in May - that's why I said water bottles.
Also just realized we will NOT be having an after party. Because it won't fit in right with our guests and would cost too much.

Although the cookies are a really cute idea, the truffles are more elegant and suitable for a wedding. They also look more expensive than cookies, especially because they're a great brand. So I'd prefer the Lindt truffles.
You could either put them in a plain little box tied with a ribbon, or in an organza bag like someone else mentioned. Also, three truffles sounds like a good number, but two of different types would be sufficient if you're pressed for resources. :)
Additional:
I just remembered that when I was searching for stuff for my wedding last year, I found the little boxes and bags for favours at the dollar store and at some party stores. I think they were 3/$1. (I'm not sure if you live in the U.S./Canada though).

When I got married some years ago, I had a Christmas wedding. In small gift boxes, I placed a Sees Truffle in a variety of flavors (one in each small box) and tied them with ribbon that could also form bows. I bought the truffles in bulk, and since they are much larger than the Lindt, only one was necessary. The boxes were really inexpensive and the ribbon that formed the bows was also cost effective. Each guest felt that they were getting something festive and special and the truffles were wonderful!
You might also consider going online to some of the wineries which will create small bottles of wines to be given as favors as well, with your names on them.

My daughter got married a year ago and we had Hershey kisses and hugs in a little bags and everyone liked it, they were cute on the table, too. We put a little note on each little bag that said kisses and hugs to you from Molly and Nick. I got the white organza type bags at Michaels Craft store.

I would prefer the chocolates... the cookies and water sounds a bit cheesy for a wedding favor.. just my opinion

Chocolate. And, as a really cheap favor to add on, how about burned mix CDs of your favorite songs as a couple?

Definitely chocholate. It has a classier feel. If you can't find bags, try using clear cellophane - it comes in many colors.
