Favors
We have decided to make white chocolate snowflake lollipops as our favors. I ordered a candy mold from amazon (mold is called ASSORTED SNOWFLAKES LOLLY Christmas Candy Mold Chocolate from seller CybrTrayd). I'm going to use Nestle Tollhouse white chocolate, which comes in 24oz bags for about $4.00. And the lollipop sticks are only $1.75 for 50 sticks (also from amazon seller CybrTrayd). Then we'll put them in little candy bags, tie them up with ribbon, and add a little self-printer sticker to the front.
Breakdown of the cost:
Candy molds - $2.29 each, bought 4 to make process faster - $9.16
Lollipop sticks - $1.75 for 50, bought 4 packs - $7
Shipping and taxes on the above two items - $11.60
Plastic favor bags - $2.50 for a bag of 100, 2 packs - $5
Sticker sheets (full size) from Avery to put on the bags - $13.60 on Amazon for 15 sheets
Nestle Tollhouse White Chocolate Chip 24 oz bags - $4.00 per bag, about 7 bags for 120 pops - $28
Ribbon (haven't bought, just a guess) - $3.00 for a roll
Total - $77.36
Price per pop for 120 - $0.65
Bridesmaid's Gifts
To help with ideas for the rest of you putting together little gifts for your BMs though, I thought I could list a few of the items.
I bought each of them different style earrings that I thought reflected their personality. I was going to get something they could wear for the wedding but then decided this was a little more fun.
I also bought each of them white pashminas. Just got them today and I really love them. They're not very thick and won't keep them very warm if it's too cold out, but for like 60 degrees it might be enough to take the chill away.
I'm also going to add some little goody bag kind of things like tissues, chapstick, chocolate, hand lotion, etc. Just stuff that they might find useful the day-of. I think I might actually give them the presents at the Rehearsal Dinner, but I'll tell them they can bring them along the next day if they want to.

Parent's Gifts
And for Tyler's parents? Who knows...
OOT Baskets
As far as items in the basket.... probably just the typical visitors brochures (taken from some random hotel I'm sure). We'll probably make up some water bottle and hershey bar labels and put some of those in. We might also add a few Texas things like giant jelly beans, BBQ sauce, TX shaped tortilla chips, etc. Maybe we'll throw in a nice bottle of wine for my grandparents too.
