Edible Wedding Favors
Guaranteed to be a hit at your wedding will be edible wedding favors and they can be as easy to organize. Although it isn’t important if your wedding favors are savory, most people would probably prefer a sweet option. You can make this really elaborate if you wish but generally a plain bar of candy that comes with a commemorative wrapper is a good idea. There is no reason why the chocolate cannot be from a specialist purveyor which will really impress the guests. It doesn’t cost the earth to have the name of the bride and groom printed on the wrapper plus the date of the wedding.
There is nothing wrong with adding a photo of the couple as well to finish off the gift to ensure it is something the guests will probably keep too remind them of the day. When candy bars are not an option, why not have the edible wedding favor candy in a tin instead! Guests are more likely to hold onto the tin as a keepsake if there is a reminder of where they were given it so placing the wedding details on the tin makes sense. The guests may eat the candy soon after the wedding but they can keep the candy tin as a reminder of your wedding; they can use it to store other small items such as change, sewing needles, rubber bands or virtually anything which is small enough to be stored in them. Candy has become one of the most popular types of wedding favors, edible or otherwise.
One option that is growing in popularity is the use of large glass bowls containing the bride and grooms own favorite types of candy. If you want to go one step further, why not find a presentation box or container that matches the wedding and leave one for each guest to use. Then the guests can fill their containers with the candy before they leave the reception later. An unusual edible wedding favor is a cookie that can be made especially for the day. By using plain cookies, it is easy to present them in a nice box with the bride and grooms names plus the date and location of the wedding.
Why not place an image of the happy couple with the wedding details directly onto the face of the cookie to add a finishing touch. As this has become more popular so has the number of bakeries able to provide this type of service and having images printed onto cookies isn’t that difficult. Edible wedding favors can also come in the form of teas, coffees and cocoa for something a little more sophisticated. You can select specialty cocoas, teas or coffees or you can have the packaging customized to include your picture, an appropriate quotation, poem or other message related to loves and weddings. Just like the previous ideas, personalizing the package with the bride and grooms picture just completes the gift. With a little bit of imagination it is surprising how effective even simple ideas can be.
