containers

Yesterday, I got two boxes in the mail. TWO! I think I'll plan a wedding for the rest of my life so I get this much mail!

Ha! I do love getting mail, but also saving money.

Anyway, in the first box was the totally flipping cool part of my gifts for my bridesmaids, who are much too nosy for me to announce the contents. In the other box was a thousand bags. I found a ton of bags I think (thought?) will be great for the candy buffet for cheap online from a restaurant supply store. Here's what they look like:

My thinking on the size of the bags, with much help from wedding sites and other bloggers, was that I wanted bags that were big enough they could hold a mini whoopie pie and some candy, but not bags large enough that the first twenty guests through the line with the munchies would clean out the candy supply. Now that I see them, I'm doubting the size. Does this bag look too small for 1/4 - 1/3 of a pound of candy and a mini whoopie pie? 

In other news, my shower is this weekend! I'm excited for a weekend in Maine with friends and family and food, followed by a week of much-needed vacation with some wedding crafting thrown in. 

Seriously. Are the bags too small?
