Food Wedding Favors Make a Delicious Reception

Food wedding favors are almost always appreciated by the guests at the wedding and whether you opt for sweet or savory items, you and your guests are likely to enjoy your edible wedding favors.

food-wedding-favors-1 The downside to giving edible wedding favors is they're likely to be consumed shortly after your wedding instead of being saved for years to come as a memento of your wedding. However, you can rest assured that your guests will greatly enjoy the gift anyway.

One of the most popular types of edible wedding favors is a chocolate bar with a personalized wrapper. The chocolate bars can be the mini bars or the standard size bars and can be regular milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate. You can also purchase plain chocolate bars or bars filled with almonds, raisins or peanuts.

Each candy bar is then wrapped in a custom candy bar wrapper which you can do yourself with a candy bar wrapper template or software and your own paper or printer, or you can purchase the candy bars already custom wrapped from a wedding supplier.

Most couples choose to have their names and the wedding date printed on the wrapper and select a wrapper design which relates to love, weddings or the specific theme of the wedding. You could also choose to have an engagement photo on the wrapper along with their names and the wedding date.

Other ideas for food wedding favors using candy are to fill little tins or small decorated boxes with a variety of candies like mints, hard candies, candy coated almonds or chocolates. Add a nice little label to the tin or box with the wedding date and the name of the bride and the groom.

While the guests may eat the candy during the reception, they'll still have the tin or decorative box as a keepsake they can use to store other small items in such as change, sewing needles, rubber bands or virtually anything which is small enough to be stored in the tins.

Another idea which is becoming very popular for candy as food wedding favors is to use large decorative bowls as table centerpieces and fill them with a variety of candies. You then give each guest a small container coordinated to the theme of the wedding and they can fill the containers with some of the candy from the centerpiece at the end of the evening.

Fortune cookie wedding favors are also very popular with each fortune paper inside having a quotation which is related to love or marriage.

Another idea for wedding cookie favors is to give out cookies with a photo of the couple baked on top. Or you can simply choose a photo that's coordinated with the wedding theme instead.

And last, while not exactly edible, cocoas, teas and coffees are popular drinkable wedding favors as well. Nicely wrapped in a personalized wrapper, you can give out specialty cocoas, teas or coffees.

Instead of individually wrapped food wedding favors, some couples may choose to provide a dessert bar at the reception so everyone can choose the flavors they like and pick from a variety of cookies and candies. This might be a way to save some time and more or less please everyone if you can fit it into your budget.
