Mmmm, edible party favors just hit the spot. Brides and guests agree: From candy to coffee, a party favor that can be used, not just forgotten on a shelf or tossed in the trash, makes for the best kind of wedding give-back gift.  More often than not, edible favors tend to fall into that category. Brides like them for their affordability and easy assembly, and guests love to receive a parting gift with a little bit of use and a whole lot of thought.

Brides, I’m sure you and your guests have already seen candy distributed as wedding party favors. But have you experienced the personal touch through customized candy? Recently, M&M’S Candies released a new wedding trend that allows brides and grooms to customize their candy, just as they would any other part of their special day. With photos of the bride and groom and even special messages, these M&M’S give your guests more than one reason to be excited about their favors.

Want to see how personalizing M&M’S wedding candy works? So did I. This morning, I visited the MY M&M’S Wedding Website and tried the process myself. Take a look at this walk-through demonstration to discover the secret to customized candy.

Step one: Select your candy colors. With up to three color choices, you can include your wedding colors in your party favor package.
