Yes, you can put your names, your wedding date, a short message and even your photo on M&M’S for your wedding. You pick the colors, add your details, and use them as favors, escort cards or candy bar decor. Here is how I did it and what I would tell a bride ordering today.
I first ordered personalized wedding M&M’S back in 2015, when I worked with the brand on this post. The photos below are from that order. Sis, I am still not over how cute they turned out.
What can you print on personalized wedding M&M’S?
According to the M&M’S wedding page, you can personalize your candy with:
- Your names
- Your wedding date
- A short custom message
- A personal photo
- Wedding-themed clip art
You also choose your colors. The brand lists more than 20, so matching your palette is easy. Think blush and sage, navy and gold, or go loud with orange, pink and green like I did for a summer look.
3 ways to use M&M’S in your wedding
1. Wedding favors
A favor is a thank you. Make it one people will eat. A small tin, bag or jar of candy with your names on it gets finished before the last dance, and nobody leaves it on the table.
For my order I went the DIY route: bulk candy in a wedding blend, plus heart shaped containers to fill myself. The blend came with wedding words and graphics already picked out, which is perfect if you are short on time.
2. Escort cards
Individual bags do double duty. Tie a name and table number to each bag and set them out at the entrance. Guests find their seat and get a treat. One less thing to buy.
3. Candy bar and table decor
Fill glass jars or bowls with candy in your wedding colors and you have decor that guests can eat. Put a jar on the dessert table, the bar, the guest book table. Add small scoops and bags if you want people to take some home. Filling a lot of jars? Shop M&M’S in bulk on Amazon.
What to write on wedding M&M’S
Keep it short. You are printing on a piece of candy. The design tool shows you what fits before you order. Some ideas:
- Your first names
- Your initials and the date
- I do
- Just married
- We did
- Love is sweet
- Thank you
- Mr and Mrs, Mrs and Mrs, or Mr and Mr
- Your wedding hashtag
- A photo of the two of you
My tip: mix one candy with your names, one with the date and one with a photo or graphic. A blend looks fuller in the jar than one design repeated.
How to order personalized wedding M&M’S
- Pick your format first. M&M’S sells wedding favor tins, favor packs and bulk candy for DIY. Decide how you will serve them before you design.
- Choose your colors. Two or three that match your palette is plenty.
- Add your details. Names, date, message, photo or clip art.
- Count your guests. Plan one favor per guest or per couple, plus a few extras for vendors and keepsakes.
- Check the minimum. The pre-designed wedding favor packs have a minimum of 20 and come in increments of 5.
- Order early. My order arrived in under a week, but that was years ago. Check the delivery date at checkout and leave yourself a cushion.
Buying in bulk for a candy bar or DIY favors? Start with the M&M’S bulk store on Amazon. The store also carries some ready-made printed blends for certain occasions. Want your names, date or photo printed on the candy? Start with the M&M’S wedding collection.
Wedding M&M’S questions
Yes. The brand says you can print personal photos on the candy, along with names, dates and messages.
M&M’S lists more than 20 colors for personalized orders.
I think so. They are personal, they fit any color palette and they get eaten. That last part matters more than people admit.
For printed favor tins and packs, go to the M&M’S website. The brand has said those wedding favor products are sold only there. For bulk candy, the M&M’S store on Amazon is another option.
