Mint To Be Chinese Takeout Box*
Picture a miniature Chinese takeout box waiting at every place setting, a satin ribbon arched over the top like a handle, and a window of color inside where the pillow mints are stacked. A guest lifts it by the ribbon, reads the tag on the side, and the pun lands before the first toast does. That is the dash of fun and whimsy the Mint To Be Chinese Takeout Box brings to a wedding, an engagement party or any special event that deserves a favor people talk about.
Each little box is molded in plastic, either clear so the mints show through or frosted for a softer look, and it measures 2.75"W x 2.5"H, small enough to sit beside a plate or tuck into a welcome bag. The handle is fine satin ribbon, and that is the detail that lifts the favor out of novelty territory and makes it look considered on the table. Inside are tasty, melt in your mouth pillow mints in a variety of colors, so this is a favor guests actually finish rather than leave behind on the chair.
The personalized tag is where it becomes yours. Printed in an elegant font and set on the side of the box, it carries the message of your choosing: your two names and the date of your event, the title theme of your party, or simply a fun saying that makes people smile as they walk out. HansonEllis prints the tags in-house, the same way it has personalized gifts since 1999.
These takeout boxes are perfect for any Asian themed party, and they travel happily well beyond one: bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, milestone birthdays, baby showers and office celebrations all take the same sweet favor. Set one at each seat, pile a basket of them by the door, or hand them out with the escort cards.
Add your tag wording above, choose your quantity, and give every guest something sweet to carry home.

- A short thank-you for coming, which suits every table and never sounds dated.

Which one should I choose
The choice here is usually between a favor guests finish and a favor they leave on the chair, and then between a plain box and a tagged one.
| Mint To Be Chinese Takeout Box with a personalized tag | Choose it when the favor should carry your names, date or party theme and act as the table's keepsake as well as its treat. |
|---|---|
| Mint To Be Chinese Takeout Box without the tag | Choose it when you need fewer than 36 favors or the table already has printed signage doing the talking. |
| A plain paper favor box or loose wrapped candy | Choose it when the favor is filler for a welcome bag and nothing needs to look finished on the table. |
For a seated event, the tagged takeout box wins: it is eaten, it is photographed, and the names on the side make it yours.
