Choosing The Right Edible Wedding Favor
Emma Dawson
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. 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'. Almost everyone appreciates a bar of chocolate and they will appreciate it more if it has a wrapper designed for the occasion. Of course hand made or fine quality chocolate will be received with greater enthusiasm than the regular type you might buy from the local store! By having the chocolate outer wrapping specially designed to include the bride and grooms details, it adds a special touch to the gift.
It is not unusual to see a picture of the happy couple on this sort of wrapper or even a presentation box. Tins filled with candy are another option for brides and grooms who want to give out edible wedding favors. By having the date, time and location of the wedding on the candy tin it makes it something that the guest will want to keep. The great thing about using tins is they last long after the wedding day is over and can be used as a place to put your small items such as paper clips to other stationery items for example. 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. Even though the guests will be eating the candy during the evening, at the end of the night they can fill their presentation boxes (if there are any left) and take them away with them. One edible wedding favor some couples overlook is cookies which can also be presented in a variety of ways. Using plain cookies keeps the cost down because they will look best in a presentation box possibly designed especially for the day.
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. There are many companies that specialize in this type of work and if you have your own design and images it makes it quicker and easier for the manufacturer Edible wedding favors can also come in the form of teas, coffees and cocoa for something a little more sophisticated. Tea, coffee and cocoa are very popular with many people and there a huge range to choose from these days so you would not have just stick with the most popular available.
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. Perhaps these suggestions will help you decide what favors you will give to your guests.
