The pastel M&M plain candies make a lovely favor in a small lace bag and tied with a narrow ribbon. Stock up on the pastel M&M's after Easter, when the prices are cut!
Find lace by the yard in the wedding color or use white or cream lace, and tie with a narrow ribbon in a coordinating wedding color.
Cut 4" X 5" pieces of lace fabric; fold the 5" in half to form a 2 1/2" width and sew a 1/4" seam down the one side and at the bottom.
If you use a lace with a finished edge for the top, that will save you time and the look is very nice.
Turn the bag right side out, fill with about 20 to 25

Note: Other sheer fabrics can be used as well, with a rolled hem or serged edge at the top. We made these favors in teal lace, tied with white ribbons for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding and everyone enjoyed them, so this idea has been tested. Another thing to keep in mind for future weddings is that the Valentine M&M's come in pink, mauve, red and white, in case that works better for a wedding color scheme.
