Well my wedding colors are pink and brown, so as favors I was getting little simple brown boxes with lids from target. I was going to order hot pink & light pink M&Ms w/our names & wedding date on them inside the boxes and then tie a pink ribbon around each box. Ok, my question is how long does it typically take for the M&M's to come in so I know how long before the wedding I need to order them. (I'm wanting to order them where they will come in about a week or 2 before the wedding) Thanks! =)

they usually only take a little over a week to get in (order today get them by 5/7), but i'd get them a little early just in case...a friend got them custom made for her wedding and realized when they got there that there weren't enough - she had to go buy more in her colors that didn't have the custom printing to fill so there were enough to give everyone a reasonable amount... it actually worked out really well having some plain and some custom

Hi I found this on the M&M websiteWhen can I expect to receive my custom printed M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies?Delivery dates change based up on the volume of orders we receive. You can determine the approximate delivery date of an order for a given day by checking the delivery time stated at the top of our homepage. If you're placing your order in advance, we suggest ordering about 3 weeks before you need the candy. Each order of custom printed M&M'S® Milk Chocolate Candies will be sent so that it arrives in 2 business days after it leaves our warehouse.

I ordered m&m's for my wedding and they came about a week after they were supposed to, and I didn't get the custom wording on them, just the different colors. So make sure you order to have them come at least a week before you need them, and probalby more if you are going to have to make the favors.Just to add my opinion - I loved my colored M&M's, but are you sure it is worth the extra money for your name to be on them? People are just going to eat them. They are much cheaper if you don't - but I had to do my wedding rather cheaply. Congrats on getting married.

My bridal party made these for my bridal shower (colors were pink and brown also). They bought the little tins with the clear lid from Michael's and tied them in pink and brown ribbon. I think I had some really smart shoppers in my bridal party, because the personalized M & M's are super expensive. They bought the minimum # of bags (I think it was 6 or Cool and then supplemented the personalized ones with several bags of plain white, brown and pink M& M's. It looked really pretty when they were all mixed together too. My MOH said it took a little over two weeks to get them. Keep the weather in mind, I know Hershey's won't shop chocolate in the summer months, M& M might be the same.

hey! I order m&ms for my wedding favors.I would allow 10 days before your wanting them. Also, i would order them a month before the wedding, just incase of extra shipping or problems. DO NOT wait till a week before please.it takes time to put into boxes/bags so allow a good afternoon for that. we put 200 bags together and took about 2 hours for 5 of us. So i say order 5-6 weeks before!
