Who Wouldn’t Love Getting This for A wedding Favor?
Fill a cellophane bag with graham crackers, two or three marshmallows, and chocolate and seal it with an attractive seal.
Saltwater Taffy
If you are having a beach or summer wedding then saltwater taffy, packed in theme related favor boxes or cellophane bags, is a very appropriate and tasty treat for your guests.
Assortment of Candies
Set up a table and have a nice assortment of candies available on it, then have some Chinese take-out boxes stamped with your names.Give one to each guest and have them fill it before they go.
Homemade GiftsA small jar of a locally made jam, preserves, honey, maple syrup, candies or anything that is homemade in the city where you are being married, make great remembrances of your wedding day.
Coffee Beans, Yes Coffee Beans

Wine
Send your guests home with a mini wine bottle.If you can making it the same as the wine you serve at your reception would be great.
Homemade Granola
Get some Chinese take-out boxes and fill them with some homemade granola for something really tasty and good for you too; seal the boxes with your mongrammed seals.It makes a very good snack or a tasty bowl to start your morning.Here’s a recipe I like from the Food Network and another one that’s an interesting alternative. Finally, here is a recipe that will make granola clusters.
Sea Salts
Unusual flavored sea salts in small jars appeal to many people.And, guess what, there are instructions on the Internet so that you can make them yourself with things like basil, rosemary or many other choices.
Popcorn
You can use popcorn in many ways but my personal favorite is to create caramel popcorn balls with some premier chocolate drizzled on them and then sprinkled with nuts.
Wrap them in theme-colored (or multi-colored) cellophane and tie them up with your own personalized ribbon to make a guest-pleaser.
A Guest’s Good Fortune to Receive these as A Wedding Favor
Gourmet Chinese fortune cookies are a fun favor.There are many places on the Internet where you can check out all the great options and you know that everyone loves to crack open a fortune cookie!
You can customize them with your theme colors, a favorite flavor or have them just plain and simple.
Package them in a theme favor box or with cellophane tied with pretty ribbon.You should plan your favors so they coordinate with your wedding day colors and it’s nice to include a bit of yourselves like a monogram or your wedding day theme with your favors.Just imagine what fun your edible wedding favors will be for you to put together and for your guests to receive? Have fun and be sure to enjoy!
