The Latest Trend: Wedding Favors You Can Eat!
At weddings, it’s customary to send your guests home with a memento to remember the day by. Wedding favors are often simple things, like matchbooks, a framed photo, or other basic items. However, a new trend is to provide edible wedding favors. This option is often more affordable than other favors. Plus, who doesn’t like taking home a scrumptious treat?
Try A Homemade Touch
If you really want to save money on the wedding favors, consider sending your guests home with something homemade. Whether it’s carefully wrapped cookies or brownies from your own kitchen, a jar of jam or jelly, or anything in between, your guests will appreciate the personal touch. Plus, actually making the items can be a fun bonding activity for the wedding party.
Offer Up Some Local Flavor
For a truly memorable treat, consider providing guests with a food that’s local to your wedding destination. If you’re getting married in Maui, for example, you could offer sweet Manju cookies or individual portions of Kulolo, a special pudding. Local flavor is a great way to give your guests an edible item with special significance. Plus, it’s a fun way to introduce your loved ones to something new and to celebrate your wedding locale.
Go For A Classic
For those who like a more classic offering, nothing beats a few chocolates. You can do an assortment in custom boxes, tiny treats in a neatly tied bag, or even individually wrapped items as a sweet “thank you” for being a part of your big day. No matter how you dress up the chocolate, you really can’t go wrong with this yummy favorite
Everyone likes to eat, so providing edible favors is always a good idea. Just make sure you’re aware of and accommodate for any food allergies. An easy way to do this is by asking guests to list any allergies when they RSVP. With some care on your part, everyone can enjoy a special, edible favor to remind them of your wedding, and you can save yourself money in the process.
