Give Your Wedding Guests Something Sweet to Eat
You can’t go wrong if you decide to give your wedding guests edible wedding favors as these are always appreciated. 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! Almost everyone appreciates a bar of chocolate and they will appreciate it more if it has a wrapper designed for the occasion. Filled chocolate whether white, plain or milk will always be a favorite but you can improve on this by having a peanut or almond center. Making the wrapper personal to the couple adds a special touch when you see their names and other details of the wedding printed on it.
Some brides and grooms may even decide to have their pictures on the wrapper along with their names and the wedding date. Why not have a tin filled with different types of candy as your edible wedding favor to your guests. 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 will probably remain a favorite edible wedding favor for some time because it is 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. 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. Cookies are an edible wedding favor that many people overlook but can be just (if not more) appealing. These can also be presented in a box or a tin with details of the wedding printed on them as a special keepsake for the guests.
Many modern bakeries are able to produce this sort of cookie relatively simply as all they need is your personal design or select one of theirs. With the variety of teas and coffees available these days, there is no reason why these cannot be the edible wedding favors used by the couple. 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. 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. With a little bit of imagination it is surprising how effective even simple ideas can be.
