Popular Edible Wedding Favor Ideas

November 11, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment 


During a wedding, guests were expected to bring home wedding favors. Wedding favors are little things that are being distributed to all the guests to commemorate the said event. If you want favors that your guests will appreciate and partake of, why not plan for edible favors? Since then, edible favors can make any celebration more fun and memorable. Although these edibles can’t give tangible memory, but the fact that they were made delicious and very tasty gives reason for the guests to appreciate them. With this delightful idea, you can provide satisfaction to your guests’ who loves candies, chocolates, cookies, jams, wine, cupcakes and other edible preparations.

Sweet Edibles

For those who have sweet tooth, sweet edibles like chocolates, candies, mint, cookies, jams, cup cakes and pies are enough to make some mouth watery favors for them. You can make a penny candy cart where your guests can’t resist but to have some handful drop of childhood sweet favorites like button candies, jelly drops, gum drops, mints and mini chocolate bars. Or perhaps, you’d like to prepare favor boxes that are filled with the same edibles. You can find choices of favor boxes with different color, shape, style and design. With this idea in mind, you will not only satisfy their sweet tooth but you are giving very cute and clever memory of your wedding using these simple but delectable sweet edible favors.

You can also provide fruit or honey jams for your guests. You can make your own homemade jams, enhance their look by tying a perfect choice of ribbon, then put your personal label or tag with your wedding details and special message in each bottle. In addition to homemade wedding favors, you could also bake tasty cookies. Consider to distribute your own homemade favorite cookies packaged in adorable favor boxes with tied ribbons. However if you don’t have enough time for baking, you can always purchase cookies at your favorite local bakery shops.

Tea and Coffee Ideas

These ideas are perhaps one of the most favorite by adult guests. Just make sure you choose gourmet ones when you look for these favors and do not settle for instant varieties. After all, this doesn’t mean you’ll be spending too much that can build your own tea or coffee chain, rather prepare just enough - maybe a cup or two will nicely do. You can buy The Perfect Fit Tea Wedding Favors, a tea collection that allow your guests to enjoy a warm, relaxing cup of tea while reminiscing about your wedding. You can personalized them by scripting your own label with your wedding details. Or perhaps The Perfect Fit Coffee Favors which have the same theme with the earlier tea favors. Giving such souvenirs allow your guests to taste an exclusive blend of finest coffee with rich aroma of fresh roasted coffee. Make it then personalize by putting you and your partner’s name as well as your wedding date.

Edible favors are as elegant as silver favors that mostly used during formal and elegant weddings. Another good thing about edible souvenirs is that they are relatively inexpensive which can make an affordable option for those who have tight budget. Other non-edible but cheap favors can be candle favors, soap favors and others.
