M&ms

Monique, on June 2, 2019 at 6:01 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 12
Hi everyone,

Are you planning on using m&ms for your wedding? If so about how much are you planning on getting? We have 120 people max and on the website bulk comes in 2 lbs and a 5lb bag. I’m thinking the 5 lb bag but I feel like that is a huge amount of m&ms.

    Are you going to have other candy? 5 lbs of m&m's is not a lot for 120 people, in my opinion.

    To be specific the 5 lbs is for putting in little favor bags. No other candy.

    Our 10lb bulk bag holds approximately 4800 pieces of candy, which is approximately one hundred (100) 1.5oz servings. Our 5lb bulk bag holds approximately 2400 pieces of candy, which is approximately fifty (50) 1.5oz servings.FAQ from My M&M'S® - MyMMs.com

    Based on this I would say get a 10 pound and a 5 pound bag

    We are using m&m's as part of our favors. We are filling the bottom of a small stemless wineglass with m&m's. We will have approximately 140 people and my fiance bought a bag of m&m's to see how much we would need per favor. He determined he would need about 18 pounds.

    LOL,,

    I see again that great minds think alike, We are also using M & M in three colors blue, aqua & silver) the 5 lbs bags and we are using them in little treat boxes and a "LOVE" piece ( which will be a prize at the end of the reception). we have a guest list of 100 people, but we still don't have our final count to know exactly how many treat boxes we will be using

    We decided on m&ms because our names are Monique and Michael lol 🤣 we figured it makes sense and we don’t have to personalize them if we choose not too.

    I considered it because our names are also m&m but I think they're a great idea because they could be personalized.
