Ideas for Edible Wedding Favors
Edible wedding favors serve the double role of sending your guests home with a memento as well as treat to snack on. There is a large variety of choices for edible favors with as many price points to suit every style and budget. From candies that you can buy and package to suit your individual wedding theme and colors, to cookies you can make yourself, personalized candy-stuffed tins that you can buy ready to go and countless other possibilities, every bride can find edible favors that she'll be happy to give as a memento of her big day.

Mini Wine Bottles
-
Mini wine bottles are an elegant choice for favors, especially if you choose mini Champagne or sparkling wine bottles. To add a personal touch, include a tag around the neck of each bottle with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date, or commission personalized labels. Provide non-alcoholic options for those guests who prefer them.
Jordan Almonds
-
Jordan almonds, pastel-colored hard candies with almonds in the center, are a traditional edible wedding favor. Place the almonds in small, personalized favor boxed or bags.
-
Wedding Cookies
-
From kids to grown-ups, most people like cookies. Bridal boutiques and bakeries provide many wedding-appropriate choices, along with personalization services for an often significant fee. If you are more budget-conscious, get regular cookies or bake and personalize your own, with help from friends and family if possible and necessary for a large guest list.
Chocolates and Candies
-
In addition to Jordan almonds, many regular candies can serve well as edible wedding favors, and some can even be personalized through specialized websites. For example, M&Ms can be purchased online with specialty messages and in a variety of colors to match your wedding. You can attach personalized tags to small chocolate bars. Tailor the favor to the wedding couple even further by packaging the bride's and the groom's favorite candies together in personalized favor boxes or bags.
Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate
-
Package tea bags, loose leaves of tea, coffee beans or a hot chocolate mix in personalized bags along with a scoop, tea strainer or miniature whisk as a departure from the more common candy and cookie favors. This works especially well for cold-weather weddings.
Location-Specific Foods
-
Prepare favors made from foods that are related to, or reflect the image of, the place where you are getting married. If you are getting married in or near an orchard, for example, give caramel apple wedding favors. If you are marrying at the beach, give a selection of chocolate shells or saltwater taffy. Another "special connection" idea is to give favors made from traditional foods from the bride's culture and the groom's culture.
