Gourmet Wedding Favors For your next wedding, why not try something a little different? Instead of traditional carnations, candles, or silver picture frames, why not try edible wedding favors? Gourmet wedding favors are usually made of chocolate, cookies, or are beautiful gift baskets that are loaded with smaller candies and mints. Most people like to take home their wedding favors after the reception is over, but everyone will want to eat one of your gourmet wedding favors before they even leave the reception! What a fun way to thank your guests for witnessing your big day. There are many bakeries, cake shops, and online stores that sell these types of wedding favors. You can coordinate your favors to match your wedding colors, theme, and size of your reception hall. Whether you are holding your reception at a hotel, backyard, or church, you will be able to find beautiful tokens of your wedding that will compliment any table. Since these arrangements may need to be refrigerated before use, they will have to stored someplace cool until after the ceremony. Your caterer or wedding planner will put them out before the reception begins. If you are the mother of the bride and are assisting in the planning of the wedding, think about the wonderful gift baskets or glasses that can be created using candy, fruit, edible flowers, and more. You can even use the same type of cake to fill the wedding favors. Imagine an elegant table set with beautiful place settings, wine glasses, tablecloth, and gourmet wedding favors. Wedding favors are meant to remind people of your wedding and to thank them for attending. But, let's face it, most people lose them or they get tucked away and are never seen again. While the thought is appreciated, the favor ends up being forgotten about after the wedding. Why not give those special people in your life a wedding favor they will never forget. The finest chocolates, candies, mints, and more will be enjoyed by all who attend. If you have a wedding theme in mind, a colorful cookie may be the best wedding favor. Cookies can be shaped into countless forms. They can be decorated very simply or ornately depending on your wedding theme. Most wedding favor cookies are butter cookies that are a popular favorite among most people. Cookies can also be display without having to be chilled first, which means they will be easy to set up before the reception. If you want something a little more elegant, then how about dark chocolate nuggets hiding inside a dark red velvet bag? Or how about beautifully wrapped hot chocolate packs? These are lovely gourmet wedding favors that your guests will melt over. Your guests will always remember your wedding day. How you looked in your dress, how nervous the groom was, and how the two of you walked down the aisle hand in hand after the ceremony was over. Why not give your guests one more precious memory? Give them gourmet wedding favors that they will remember forever.
