Wedding favors are traditionally a small item to thank your guests for attending your wedding celebration. These favors are often placed on or by the table setting for each guest but can also be placed in a display for them to pick up as they leave. Although wedding favors are definitely not required, it is a nice touch for your wedding guests. However, it should be something that your guests would actually want. Of all the wedding favors that you could give, you cannot go wrong with food items. Here are some of our favorite delicious wedding favor ideas.
Donuts
Donuts are always a great addition to any wedding. Many couples are getting creative with the ways to include donuts in their weddings. One of these ways is as wedding guest favors. These fried sweet treats are perfect for the ride home.
Jam and Honey
One of the things that we love about weddings are the family traditions that couples include. Giving a jar of your grandma’s famous jam is a great way to personalize your favors.
You can also take the local route with providing local honey or jams from a neighboring farm. These are not only delicious but support the local community.
Olive Oil
Using the theme of your wedding is a great way to help you decide on wedding favors. If you are having a Tuscan inspired wedding, personalized olive oil favor fit perfectly.
Cake Jars
Weddings and cake go hand in hand! Why not send your wedding guests home with a personal serving of the delicious cake that they enjoyed at your wedding? You can work with your wedding cake baker to include this as an add on to your package.
Spirits to Go
Individual mini bottles of your favorite spirit with a thank you note makes a nice little gift for your guests.
Pies
Just like the jams, pies can be a great way to include family traditions into your wedding.
However, may be this isn’t a tradition you and your future spouse just really love pies. You can either pick up for your favorite pie shop or work with your wedding dessert vendor for mini pies to give as favors.
Custom Cookies
We are big fans of custom cookies for weddings. We’ve seen them used for bridal shower and bachelorette parties but wedding favors are great as well. You can work with a cookie artist to create a design that matches your wedding or even have dog cookies to represent your fur-baby that couldn’t be in the wedding. The design possibilities are endless!
Candy Buffet
Something about a candy buffet makes you feel like a kid again. Candy buffets can easily be worked in as a wedding guest favor but providing little bags for guests to fill with their favorite sweet treats. You can select your favorite candies and/or work in candies that match your color palette.
