Sugar lumps, fine confections, and almonds are the regular presents that couples share on their wedding day. These edible wedding favors have been distributed for centuries, and they serve as the means for the new couple to give thanks to their guests for having shared their very special moment with them.
But in the course of time, everyone has become more imaginative in selecting wedding favors and they are no longer limited to the old fashioned kind. And even if they decide to give away the customary ones, how they are presented has developed through the ages.
In our modern times, even with the wide selections available, a lot of couples still decide to offer edible wedding favors to their guests. Some of these include:
• Chocolates. Most everyone loves chocolates and people are just delighted to have them as presents. Couples can have special wrappers made that contain their names and the date of the wedding. This makes this wonderful edible wedding favor even more special.
• Cookies. Specially-designed cookies can be made to fit the wedding scheme, and can be personalized. They can be created to have the couple’s initials, or a unique design that fits the entire theme (like an anchor if they have a nautical motif, for example).
• Candies. A small bag of desserts and mints, packaged beautifully to complement the wedding theme is a favorite among many. These, too, can be personalized and packaged really nicely with ribbons.
• Jams. Jellies, jams, honey and preserves are the choice of a few couples because they stay longer than most of the other edible wedding favors. Bottles are packaged nicely, with the names of the newlyweds, the date, the venue, and a thank you message can be included.
• Tea wedding favors (or coffee!) Most adults are either coffee or tea consumers, and they would be happy to receive a special something to satisfy their taste buds. It is a great idea to have specialized coffee or tea samples in unique personalized packaging to hand out to your guests. This can be quite unexpected, and would be much appreciated, especially if the tea or coffee is of excellent quality.
• The classic favorites can still be used, of course, just try to be one-of-a-kind in the presentation.
One note of warning, though. If you plan to get edible wedding favors, you need to be specific of possible allergens – nuts, chocolates, strawberries, etc. You want to avoid any events on your wedding day!
