Lol! I hope the birthday thing works.
My mom helped plan my wedding shower and she ordered specialized M&Ms as the favors. She wanted the shower to be a surprise but I didn't, so a date was set, then they planned it earlier anyways. So when a box with M&M written allll over it came I was like, why did you order candy? Fortunately for her it was right around Mother's Day so she said she ordered something for my grandmother. I was like, why would you order something rather than getting it at the store? I let it go and I was none the wiser.
