Save the Date S'mores in a box!

B., on March 22, 2021 at 10:11 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 1 20

Hello!

We're just starting to plan for our Save the Dates, and since our wedding is going to be a bit out of the box (camping weekend), we decided to make our Save the Dates...in a box! We're putting together a DIY s'mores kit along with a matchbox that has our photo/date on it. It's a project for sure, but we have time on our hands and are excited to put these together for our friends and family. We have just about 35 households on the list, and most of them are local so we will be able to deliver the majority to doorsteps with just a handful going in the mail.

Did anyone else do something like this? Or do matchboxes/s'mores kits as favors in some way? I would love to see your pics! There are lots of ideas on Pinterest, but real-life is way better Smiley smile

Thanks!

    That is incredibly cute 🔥 ... I don’t do camping on a regular so it would end up in the trash if these are the save the dates and being given months before the camping wedding weekend.

    I love this! I'd make it at home if I got one (I do this all the time anyway, smores are an easy at-home dessert)

    ^ per above comment, maybe you could send instructions for how to make it at home (oven in tinfoil, over the gas burner, on the grill, whatever)

    Thanks! Yes, this is definitely intended as a little home project, not something to save for actual camping 😉

    I never even thought someone might think it was to save! There will only be enough for a few s’mores-definitely just a cute little make-in-your-kitchen kit😎

    Definitely include directions on how to make them at home. Not everyone has gas burners. If you can, include a postcard that guests can put on their fridge to see the date.

    Such a fun idea! I’ve never seen anything like this but I think it’s adorable! Instructions are key and I definitely would include a simple card or magnet that just has your date/locations for guests to hang on their fridge.

    That is such a cute idea! I definitely agree with the others, make sure to have instructions to help your guests out in case they are unsure Smiley smile

    Thought I’d post an update. We just delivered our smores boxes and they were a hit! We had such a great time putting them together for our friends and families. Cheers to thinking outside the box 😉Save the Date S'mores in a box! 1

    Thank you! We had so much fun making them and sneaking them onto our friends' porches.

    Oh my gosh I love this!! We are doing an after hours bonfire with s’mores, this is such a cute idea!! Have you ever done the waffle cone s’mores? You put mini marshmallows and Reese’s pieces or m&ms in the cone and wrap in tin foil! Love unique ideas like this!!

    Ummm no I definitely have never done that but I WANT TO!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds delish. We do “banana boats” sometimes, which is bananas cut in half with marshmallows and chocolate inside, then wrapped in fire. I’m here for all of it. 👏🏽

    I worked at a summer camp for years, banana boats are a HIT!! Apparently people do that with oranges too?! Never tried it because it doesn’t sound appealing at all but one of the directors swore by it lol
