Edible Wedding Favors

Have you found yourself browsing, reading, and asking for chocolate, edible wedding favors and keepsakes? You've come to the right place! First, we have a secret to tell you: even the prettiest wedding favor should be functional. That's right! What would you do with a personalized seashell if you received it as a wedding favor? Be honest - you'd rest it on a shelf somewhere to collect dust. Unfortunately, most couples put very little thought into their wedding favors. It seems that wedding favors are cast aside as last minute ideas that make their puzzled guests say: "huh?" once they receive it.

Don't want to fall into that category? We don't blame you. So you need a solution: make your favors serve a purpose. Why not give a gift of edible wedding favors - chocolates or candies, sweets and snacks? You can wrap your wedding favor in gorgeous wrapping, such a tulle, so it still comes packaged to perfection. Remember, edible favors for weddings such as chocolates do amount to a little extra care. If you're wedding favor is chocolate, you'll want to keep that chocolate refrigerated to keep it from melting. Just remind your wait-staff that everyone needs to go home with an edible favor!

It's important to note that not everyone is fond of chocolate. Many people have allergies to chocolate and peanuts. Some of your guests may have allergies and you might not know it! If you should decide to use peanut ingredients, or any nuts for that matter, you should somehow inform your guests. A waiter can make an announcement that your beautifully packaged edible wedding favors contain the following ingredients, thus if anyone has an allergy - please refrain from indulging.

Hard candies and mints make for excellent edible wedding favor ideas, as you do not have to worry about them melting at room temperature. Flavored jelly beans are adored by children and adults alike. You can buy these jelly beans in bulk quantities and create a large number of candy sachets for your items.

Whatever you decide to give as an keepsake, you know that it serves a purpose. It will not puzzle your guests and make them wonder where to place it in their homes. It will serve as a beautifully packaged treat that matches your overall décor. It's the idea of your gift that counts most. If your loves ones can see that the edible wedding favors came from your heart, they will embrace it with the fondest memories of your special wedding day.
