Cool Chocolate Favors - Hopefully this post will work

[dml1216]

I tried to post this last night but it wouldn't take it so I thought I'd try again. I found these chocolate cruiseships. I found someone local here that would do them a bit cheaper, but I just thought they were perfect.

 

Let me know what you think!

I take it since you are either getting married on the ship, on an island or before you cruise the theme of your wedding is a cruise. So I think the chocolate ship is great. Are you doing anything else for a theme ? When my daughter got married she had a beach theme & it was the 1st time I was to a wedding with a theme. I was not too keen on the idea as I had never been to a wedding where things are not done in the "normal" wedding way & thought that it might be a little tacky but it was great. She used large bowls with water, shells & a sand castle as a center piece on each table. For name cards she used the little umbrella's you see in drinks that she placed on a styrofoam board that had dunes & little people sun bathing and it was painted a sand color & for favors she gave out candle holders of seahorses & dolphins. Her grandmother ( who has been deceased since she was 2 yrs. old ) used to make cookies called "Sand Tarts" & I have the recipe so her older sister & I made dozens & dozens of them & filled little sand buckets with them for each table. The whole theme turned out to be a big hit with all the guest & me too.

Are you getting married on the ship ?? When ?? Remember no matter what, where & when you get married have a great time & enjoy the day.Congrats in advance

You are so sweet, thank you. Today you meet so many people that aren't as kind as you. Your daughter's wedding sounds like it was a great hit. It was nice that she was able to include her grandmother in the event, even if she couldn't be there, she was still there.

 

Yes, I am getting married on a Carnival cruise in March. I am not going all out on much more than Carnival offers with their package, but I know this will sound silly, but I have been really looking around for some theme-related favors. I really like these chocolate cruise ships and they will be easy to carry on.

 

Thank you again for your kind words. Happy Cruising!

That's a great favor! How are you planning on getting them on board or in flight b/c chocolate might melt?

Well, I live in Tampa and will drive over to Port Canaveral the day before, then I will just keep them in the hotel room and carry then on. Luckily, it isn't too hot here now.

 

I guess if you were flying it would be a total pain in the neck.

[lena1279]

Yeah, I was thinking of using them in my OOT bags, but I have to fly from DC to San Juan and I'm afraid they'll melt. I want to call the airline and see if I can put them in a cooler w/ice...I'm just not sure if that's allowed.

Lena,

 

I am dieting for my wedding and went on a business trip last month, I brought a cooler with my "diet" food and one of those blue ice packs. I was able to bring the food, but they made me dump the blue ice pack as I went through security because of the liquid restrictions.

 

Hope this helps!

Those favors are so cute-- they're such a good idea! They're a bit too expensive for my favor budget but I found a mold to make your own chocolate cruise ships. I'm thinking I might try it out to see how well it works! :)

Congrats on ur wedding. I did chocolate green frogs for my wedding as favors. I had a frog theme. Our center pieces where vases with live frogs swimming and a lily on top of the vase with roses petels and candles all around. Everyone loved the chocolate frogs. Good luck hope you have fun and congrats again on ur wedding.
