Personalised M&Ms

SunnyPinkConfetti310, 27 June, 2015 at 12:36 Posted on Planning 0 5

These were suggested to me by my fiance's cousin and his wife and, as were doing a candy buffet, they seemed like quite a cool gimmicky things to do. However, they're very expensive so I thought "no, best not".

I've been emailed a 30% off coupon from the official website and I noticed there is a £10 cash back offer on which will bring down the cost by about 45% so I think I'm going to order some. But I wondered if anyone else had had them, how well they come out and how well they went down with your guests?

My only concern is, I'm only planning to order 1.5kg which is 1500 M&Ms, and I have about 120 guests - I'm hoping people will recognise that they're an expensive novelty and won't start stuffing fistfuls in their mouths. Wishful thinking?

P.S. If anyone wants to use the coupon as well, its WELCOMEBACK - it doesn't appear to be unique to me.

    Hi,

    I was going to have them in little jars for each guest and then we saw how expensive it would be and decided against it.

    We are now going to mix popcorn with the m and Ms so that it is cheaper and people get more. We are have 110 people so our one 1.5kg bag will give everyone 13g of m and Ms ish. When we mixed them with popcorn it doesn't look like you are being stingy it looks like a good amount. We haven't had the wedding yet so don't know how they will go down. I don't know if people will notice them as much as part of a buffet though?

    We ordered ours last Saturday and they arrived on Friday. They really fill the bag too it's right to the top. I haven't tasted them but they look like I thought they would.

    Hope that helps.

    I received some for my 21st birthday (a few years ago now!) they were all very well printed, in some lovely colours and tasted just like "normal" M&Ms. We are thinking of maybe getting some for our sweet cart but it depends on the budget, so we will see a lot nearer the time Smiley smile

    Thanks for your replies. I've ordered some, two bags actually - going to use one to do something like a favour and one for the candy buffet. They're being delivered to one of my BMs in London, as they don't deliver offshore, so I won't see them until she comes for her dress fitting in October but I know she will check they're tickety boo.

    That 30% off coupon is good until Thursday or Friday (email was on Friday and said valid for a week) if anyone else wants to take the plunge.

    Hi- we have them! We got them made at the m+m store in London, was SO cool. They look incredible... taste like normal... we love them. Can't say how well they went down with the guests yet as get married in a month, but we did put this photo on Facebook to announce our engagement and had LOADS of comments saying how amazing they were Smiley smile
