Create a fun, budget-friendly wedding favor.

Being on a budget doesn't mean you can't provide your guests with a favor as they leave. A cookie buffer provides a delicious, inexpensive option in which guests will delight. With some advance baking, or ordering from the caterer, prepare an array of options that your guests will enjoy the day after the ceremony. Set the cookie buffet up after the cake is cut to ensure that guests have an opportunity to enjoy the reception prior to choosing their wedding favor.
