Wedding favors are meant to be a small token of appreciation given by the bride and groom to the wedding attendees. Representing a ¡°thank you,¡± they also serve as a memory of the happy event. Most favors include the bride and groom¡¯s name, the date and phrasing that expresses gratitude. To create a personal touch, a homemade favor is best and everyone is grateful for a little edible treat. With a little time, effort and creativity, any of the following favors can be a hit.
Cook and decorate bite-size cookies to fit a romantic theme. Place in clear treat bags, wrap with a color coordinating ribbon, and add a tagged phrase to suit the treat. Some suggestions; red and pink hearts or wedding bells can be wrapped and phrased as ¡°Cooking up a lifetime of sweetness!¡± or cookies in the shape of ¡°o¡¯s¡± and ¡°x¡¯s¡± (Hugs and Kisses) can be phrased as ¡°A warm hug and kiss to thank you for coming.¡± Even the theme of the wedding can dictate the cookie shape. A country western theme can be remembered with cookie boots and the phrase, ¡°Thanks for kicking off our life to together!¡± or a formal wedding can prompt top hat shaped cookies with the phrasing, ¡°Our hats are off to you for coming!¡± Creativity is the key to success with this simple cookie favor.
If creativity isn¡¯t a strong point, simple sugar cookies can be wrapped and tied, add a small cookie cutter in any shape to the bag with the phrasing, ¡°We were cut out for each other.¡± This creates a romantic and happy favor that will be remembered as the attendee uses the cookie cutter for their next batch of goodies.
Chocolates, white, dark, flavored or not; in any simple shape will always be a welcome edible favor. Depending upon your skill level, create ornate or simple molded favors and place in a clear bag or a fancy favor box. A simple phrase of ¡°Thanks for making our celebration so sweet¡± will complete the treat.
If a sweet treat isn¡¯t desired or doesn¡¯t fit the couple or wedding, try a mixture of dried nuts and fruits in a cloth bag, or nuts in their shells, such a Walnuts, Almonds or Brazil nuts, tied with a ribbon and nutcracker. Since the bride and groom are ¡°Nuts for each other,¡± it¡¯s a fitting favor and rather fun even for the smallest wedding attendees.
Purchase tealeaves in bulk or flavored tea bags and place in a mug wrapped with tulle or fabric. Or, pair specialty coffees with a plastic spoon dipped in chocolate. Add a ribbon or tag with the newlyweds¡¯ names, wedding date and the phrase, ¡°The Perfect Blend,¡± and they will be remembered the very next morning or evening when the attendee makes a cup of coffee or tea.
For a summer or fall wedding, fill a transparent bag with two small pears and tie with ribbon. Attach a label to the bag with the couple¡¯s names, wedding date and the wording, ¡°The Perfect Pear.¡± A little corny, of course, but worth the effort, groans and rolled eyes.
Whatever favors suit your style and wedding theme best, try to make them memorable, fun and enjoyable for all. |
