Twilight themed favors

I'm really excited to post this even though I know it's such a spoiler! Honestly, I think it's so much fun to put these together and show everyone what they can bring home.

While searching for ideas for party favors, I wasn't too big on the bite size Twizzlers as a party favor since I'll be serving that as part of my candy buffet. Instead, I decided to go with personalized M&M's (see my earlier post), handmade chess pieces (queen and pawn as shown on the cover of Breaking Dawn), and beauty item to reflect the character, Rosalie. Besides - what girl doesn't love lipgloss?

I also have another beauty item as a favor to my female guests, but I decided to keep that one on the hush hush :)

So for the lipgloss, I didn't want to use a bright red since not all of us look good in that color. Instead, I chose to use NYX's Vamp Red lipgloss (the name is very appropriate with the party theme!) which is a dark burgundy-red. Even if they don't wear this color on a daily basis, they can always save it for Halloween if they dress up as a vamp!

For the packaging, I used a treat bag (Michael's) and just stuffed it with red paper shred (Walmart).


Now the 2nd party favor is the chess pieces. I made these out of chocolate wafers (white for the queen and red for the pawn). I actually flavored them since the chocolates just have vanilla flavoring. For the queen, I chose the cheesecake flavor and for the pawn I used cherry on some and apple on some.

I got the chess piece mold at a local bakery supply store and unfortunately they didn't have it at Michael's. I'm sure you can find it online if you don't have a bakery supply store close to you. For the packaging, I used the same treat bags I used for the lipgloss (the package I got has 100 bags) and again used the same red paper shred. But instead of the silver tie, I used red ribbon I bought at Target during the after-Christmas sales.


Now the last party favor is with the personalized M&M's. The M&M's are personalized with either 'Team Jacob' and 'Team Edward' and they're in red, black, and white. I just stuffed with the same red paper shred just to bulk up the organza bag. I only put a small handful of M&M's inside since there's not much inside the bags they came in.



I was thinking of adding tags and stickers, but I'm still undecided about that. If I do, they will probably be simple tags that say "thank you" to all my guests. I hope that my ideas inspired you!
