Edible Wedding Favors
Wedding favors are a great gesture to put a smile on the face of your guests. What better way to bring on that smile than something edible!
For example, there are candies and special chocolates you can put together in small baskets. You can also buy a pre-sorted selection of fine chocolates in special packaging and add a little tag with the name of the bride and groom on the container. Even though the gift is edible, the container is something they can keep and put small things in as a memento of your special day and the union of you and the love of your life.
It is hard to find wedding favors these days that are not overpriced. That’s why you can get creative and put together an edible wedding favor and a container for only a dollar or two per guest. There are many sites online that specialize in wedding favors, or you can just put it together yourself from ordinary items found at an online or local shop.
Whatever you choose, it is the thought that counts at the end of the day. An edible wedding favor is something you can be sure won’t go to waste. Even if a certain guest is, say, allergic to chocolate, they can still give their wedding favor to a friend or family member! It won’t take long to find someone who isn’t allergic who loves chocolate! Almost everyone does!
With the wrapping, you can buy custom prints that reflect the color and theme of your wedding to give people a warm feeling just looking at it. Make it special and make it your own. Make it something that will always be memorable for every single wedding attendee.
Cookies, candy, dried fruit, nuts, and other snacks and goodies can make your guests happy, too. Remember, there is no wrong way to show your creativity, and the more you reflect you and your spouse-to-be, the more people will be just tickled when they receive the wedding favor. So no matter what, there is no need to spend a lot—the simplest wedding favors are often the most appreciated and don’t have to break the bank, in terms of your overall wedding budget plan.
Other things you can easily put together are tins and baskets sausage and cheese, or fruit baskets with bows and pastel cellophane. The possibilities are endless and are only limited to your inspiration and imagination.
If you do decide to “get crafty” and put together the wedding favors from scratch, it might be a good idea to get a friend or family member’s help with the project. Ask someone to get the supplies, and another to help you put it together. It could be a good excuse for the bride and bridesmaids to spend special time together in the days or weeks leading up to that special day.
Regardless, your wedding guests will walk a way with a sweet taste in their mouths!
