Couples planning to get married who are stuck for an idea about what gifts to hand out to their guests should consider supplying edible wedding favors. The next decision to be made is which type to use; sweet or savory and whilst there are no hard and fast rules on this, most guests will prefer to have sweet! Although it might not win any design awards, a nicely decorated, personalized wrapper covering a plain bar of candy, usually works well. Some people go out of their way to ensure the chocolate is from a specialist candy or quality department store. A particularly loving touch is for there to be a message from the couple on the candy wrapper in addition to the wedding details.
If you are going as far as personalizing the wrapper, then why not have your picture printed on the wrapper to really impress your guests! Other edible wedding favors can come in the form of small pieces of candy in tins. 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. These tins are also useful even when the candy has been eaten as they would make great little storage containers. Candy has become one of the most popular types of wedding favors, edible or otherwise.
By using a large glass bowl in the center of every table, the bride and groom can fill them with their own choices of candy for everyone to share. You can also supply a small themed container on the table for every wedding guest. You can guarantee it won’t take long before the guests start filling their boxes with the candy. One edible wedding favor some couples overlook is cookies which can also be presented in a variety of ways. Undecorated cookies are best because they are supposed to go inside a decorated box which can have the wedding day details printed on it.
Another way to use cookies as wedding favors is to have them displaying a photo of the couple. It won’t be difficult locating a bakery that can do this type of work and you can speed up the process even more by supplying your own ideas on how you would like the cookies to look. A more interesting edible wedding favor idea is to use popular hot beverages like tea or coffee for example. There are a number of specialty teas and coffees available which can then be packaged in something appropriate for the wedding. Often the contents are in tins which can be personalized with the bride and grooms details and makes the box or tin more collectible. Even if none of these ideas is too your taste, it might at least make things easier when you come decide on what you’re a favors will be.
