Inspiration: Favors

Are you stuck for a creative wedding favor solution? Want to make a gift as small as your wedding favor be hugely appreciated and totally unique? May we suggest something everyone can enjoy? Make it edible!

Edible favors are always a hit. Unlike most knickknacks, they tend to be gratefully received -- and are quickly put to use. How better to thank your guests for traveling to your wedding than with a taste of  Sweets!

Dip Sourdough Pretzels in chocolate, place them in glassine envelopes and stitched closed with thread. Add labels to convey the personal message of your choice.

Mostly everyone likes treats, so you won’t be stuck with a lot of leftovers, pretty and fun Cake Pops can be personalized with your theme, color or monogram and are typically less expensive than other types of favors. Cake Pops will look classy on your guests reception tables! They will be the talk of the wedding! They are about the size of a golf ball, very yummy and unique to say the least. Don’t be surprised if any of your guests say they have never seen these before – so it turns out to be a unique tasty treat your guests will remember for a very long time!


And...What can be sweeter than a Candy Buffet?


So, what is so great about a wedding candy buffet anyway? Well, with an almost limitless selection of candy types, textures and colors out there, it is pretty easy to tie a candy buffet into your overall wedding theme and color scheme. Plus, not only it serves as a favor, it also serves as decoration and/or an additional dessert option all at once! Your guests can visit the buffet as often as they wish and fill up their own containers of candy to nosh on throughout your reception and fill it up again to take home as a favor.
Buy treats in bulk and repackage them in imaginative ways. There are so many inexpensive and easy-to-assemble wyas to present your favors. Also keep in mind these "do" and "do nots" before purchasing edible wedding favors from BRIDES magazine: Do buy samples before committing. Do allow enough time for delivery and (DIY) packaging. Don’t buy too few. Generally, favors are for each guest, not each couple. Don’t order too far in advance or your treats may be stale on the big day.

Happy Planning!
