For our favors we are having insulated bags with a liter of fresh milk, a liter of orange juice, some jam, Devon cream, butters, granola, honey, a few scones, a muffin and piece of coffee cake. Its supposed to be a complete set for breakfast the next morning the main part of it (and only bit that wont be thrown out) is the coffee or tea we would be getting either

1. filled with three different metal tins of different types of gourmet coffee from our favorite gourmet store in the city and some raw sugar nibs

2. (you put it in the microwave with water and then add tea and let it brew, you then place it on the cup and it pours out) filled with 2 flavors of tea tins, sugar nibs from our favorite loose tea seller
Which would your prefer to receive?
*we have nut free, dairy free, and gluten free bags being made for guests with special needs*
Also is there any component I am missing for breakfast?
I feel like I am missing a little something…
B2B yes that was very much part of the reason.
Also we want to encourage guests to stay as late as they can and not worry about the morning. The only problem with 50% or 50% is what if out of 250 people 200 choose tea and then I have 75 coffee left?
We are making 325 just in case and letting the wait staff take the extras
Also I am getting a good deal on them *they are normally 20 each ?!?!?!* for ordering so many haha
They are pre made bags that are being kept in a fridge and given by the elevator attendant (there is only one way out of the reception down the private elevator)
The milk and all would spoil I assumed and even though they are insulated I wanted to make they will be nice and chilly for the ride home (even though all our guests live within an hour away)
The bar would be great, but I just don’t think we could do it.
BUT YOGURT IS GREAT. I will look around for some local organic makers.
I am in NYC actually. I grew up in europe and went to finishing school in the UK
I’d go with the french press. You can make tea in there too – just need some high quality tea – not ripped open tea bags.
I think it would be more useful in the long run.
And since you are having ’special needs’ bags, why not have 1/2 of your bags tea and 1/2 coffee, and give one of each to each couple?
Good luck, and Congratulations!
EDIT:
I’m in the US, never been to the UK, but know what Devon cream is.
What about some curd? I love lemon with Devon cream on scones. That’s to die for in my book!
Also – cream first or jam first on the scones? LOL I’m personally, a cream 1st person

I would prefer coffee since that is what I drink. I think you have it all covered!
