Edible Wedding Favors - Give the Best

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

A favorite at many wedding receptions edible wedding favors will always please the vast majority of guests. If you cannot make up your mind about whether they should be sweet or savory, you can guarantee it will be the sweet variety that gets the ‘big thumbs up’. Of course if you want to make it simple, then stick to a regular chocolate bar, perhaps with a specially created outer wrapper.

I haven’t come across many people that won’t eat chocolate in any of its varieties especially if it has a special flavored center. Many people may eat the chocolate at the wedding but will probably keep any packaging that it comes in, as a souvenir.

It is not unusual to see a picture of the happy couple on this sort of wrapper or even a presentation box. Another edible wedding favor option is to use tins of candy instead of bars for couples that want to try something different. These tins become mementos of the big day if the bride and groom have gone to the trouble of having the wedding details placed on every tin.

The guests might eat the candy as soon as the wedding is over but they can still keep the candy tin with them as a sweetreminder of the wedding; they can actually store other small things like change, rubber bands,sewing needles, and anything that can fit the tin.Candy will probably remain a favorite edible wedding favor for some time because it s so popular.

People that cannot make up their minds how to present the candy should consider placing it decorative bowl n the center of the table. You can also supply a small themed container on the table for every wedding guest. The guests can fill the containers with some of the candy from the centerpiece at the end of the evening.

If you are looking for a different edible wedding favor idea then why not try arranging for the guests to have cookies instead of candy. 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. Cookies can be baked in a variety of shapes so all that needs to be done is to supply a picture for them to imprint. For something a little out of the ordinary why not try the unusual edible wedding favors of cocoa, coffee or tea.

You can always select specialty cocoas, coffees or teas or you can even have the packaging that is customized having your picture, appropriate quotation, poem and other message that is related to love and weddings. Putting the couple’s names as well as the wedding date on the package is a good idea as well as including a picture of the couple. 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.
