YUM!
The actual menus were created to match the original wedding invitation and though you can't really see it well in the photos, the bronze color of the backing paper matched the color of my shawl.
The dreaded chocolate bags - the inscription dictated the contents : a plastic spoon with 6 hand made chocolate hearts (a spoon full of love) two Hershey Kisses (a couple of kisses) and topped up with quite a few grams of M&M's seeing as how the M&M theme (Murray & Maree) kind of spread throughout the whole wedding.
My very clever mother made all the bags. The material was the same material as my shawl and the paper for the cards matched the invites and menus.
In my next life - I'm going to be a wedding planner LOL
