A Look At Edible Wedding Favours

By Louis Soul

Edible wedding favors are bound to please almost everyone at a wedding reception. Whether you opt for sweet or savory items you and your guests are likely to enjoy them. Chocolate candy might not be the most elaborate gift even if it does come in a special wrapper but that does not make it any less welcome to hungry guests.

These chocolate bars can be simple milk chocolate, dark or white chocolate which are filled with items such as almonds or raisins. Many companies exist that can create special wrappers that should have details of the wedding printed on them even if everything else is from a standard template.

There is nothing wrong with adding a photo of the couple as well to finish off the gift to ensure it is something the guests will probably keep too remind them of the day. Why not have a tin filled with different types of candy as your edible wedding favor to your guests. 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. You can guarantee your guests will take the tins away with them even if they are empty because not only will they be a reminder of the day but they are practical as well. Overall, edible wedding favors are the most popular and candy is at the top of the list.

Glass bowls to store different types of candy are an unusual way to present your favors. 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. The bride and grooms guests can then use the containers to put in any candy they like to take away when they leave. If you are one of the small number of people that don't like candy, you might like a cookie as your edible wedding favor. 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.

Another way to use cookies as wedding favors is to have them displaying a photo of the couple. It won't be difficult locating a bakery that can do this type of work and you can speed up the process even more by supplying your own ideas on how you would like the cookies to look. There is no reason why the edible wedding favors cannot be drinks; there are plenty to choose from but coffee and tea are likely to be the most popular. There are now many specialty brands which many people would like to try but are often afraid too and as with the other favors, there is no reason not to have special presentation boxes made up for the day. Once again, the packaging can contain information about the bride and groom and if it is a metal or plastic container it can be used at a later stage an will not go to waste. 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. - 17607
