Edible Wedding Favors Your Guests Will Savor
Author: Karen Zabel
You know that saying, "The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach?" Well, that goes for wedding guests, too - male or female. If you have a scrumptious spread at your reception, they will stay happy and festive throughout the event. Now imagine if there were a way to keep them in that celebratory state of mind even after your wedding day ends. Perhaps there is a way to do just that - with edible wedding favors! Here are some ideas:
Chocolate
You knew this confectionery favorite would be tops on the list. See if you can picture Hershey's Miniatures Chocolate Wedding Favors wrapped in packaging with a design of your choice. These tiny candy bars are available in milk chocolate, special dark, Krackel, and Mr. Goodbar varieties. This idea also works well with Hershey's Chocolate Bar Wedding Favors in 1.55-ounce or five-ounce sizes for the chocoholics on your wedding guest list. For a romantic touch, choose Hershey's Kisses Wedding Favors which can also be monogrammed or personalized on the bottoms of the wrappers.
Hot beverages
Let your guests think about the warmth of your love on the next cold morning. Personalized coffee wedding favors are 1.75-ounce packets of fresh roasted coffee emblazoned with whatever theme or message you desire. These are available in classic, floral, beach, fall, winter, golf, or monogram themed varieties. Your more discerning friends and family members can enjoy cappuccino wedding favors of 1.25-ounce cappuccino packets. If your guests prefer tea, you may wish to select tea wedding favors. These consist of individual tea bags, each filled with a rich blend of black tea, which can bear a design or message of your choosing. But if you or your guests are not big on caffeine, try the 1.25-ounce cocoa wedding favors instead. Cappuccino, tea, and cocoa favors are all available in standard or monogram themes.
Drink mixes
Make sure the party never ends when the reception closes down. Give your guests some margarita or cosmopolitan wedding favors to take home with them afterwards. These single-serving drink mix packets can produce a tasty cocktail when ice and alcohol are added. For the non-alcoholic and younger crowd, send them home with lemonade wedding favors which need only water and ice. All of these beverage mix packages come in traditional and monogram themed selections.
Honey
Ah, the sweet bliss of romance! It may not surprise you to learn that honey symbolized love, beauty, and fertility in early Greece and Rome. In addition, legend has it that Cupid dipped his arrows in honey so they would fill the hearts of his targets with sweetness. So honey wedding favors would make an appropriate favor for those who attended your wedding celebration. Only premium U.S. grade A clover honey is poured into each 1.5-ounce jar, and your personalized design is emblazoned on the outside of each container. Again, traditional and monogram designs are available.
Mints and Nuts
If you choose to have something instead of (or in addition to) chocolate for your guests, there are other options. The 'Mint to Be' Bride and Groom Slide Mint Tins with Heart Mints by Kate Aspen is a stylish yet practical wedding favor. These beautifully-decorated slide mint tins come in both bride and groom designs and contain dozens of delicious heart-shaped mints. A slightly more sophisticated choice is the Bride and Groom Almonds, which are packaged three at a time in pleated candy cups within an acetate box. The candies themselves are hand decorated with confectioner's icing, with multicolored bride and groom designs and the message "Just Married" portrayed on the sides.
Lip balm
Okay, so it isn't edible per se, but it is something that will keep the images of your wedding in your guests' minds for as long as it is used. Each tube of All-Natural Lip Balm is petroleum free and contains vitamin E, nourishing organic oils, and SPF 15. You can also opt for fancier designs in product offerings like the Bride and Groom Lip Balm and the monogrammed lip balm in either damask or polka dots designs.
Most of these items can be personalized with the bride and groom's names as well as the date of the wedding.
With all the pictures, photo albums, and videos, you will always remember your wedding day. But since your guests won't have those things, you should provide them with some wedding favors to help them recall the day you walked down the aisle. In addition, personalized wedding favors are a relatively inexpensive way to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to buy a wedding gift, get dressed up, and make the journey to witness your joyous nuptials. You can rest assured that they will remember not only your special wedding day, but also what generous and kind hosts you were to your guests. This memory will help them remain an integral part of your lives long after the day you said, "I do."
