Edible wedding favors are bound to please almost everyone at a wedding reception. You can of course provide savory favors which can be novel but the vast majority will prefer something sweet. How effective this looks might be down to how good the personalized wrapper is that contains the chocolate candy. I haven’t come across many people that won’t eat chocolate in any of its varieties especially if it has a special flavored center. Making the wrapper personal to the couple adds a special touch when you see their names and other details of the wedding printed on it.

Chocolate candy might not be the most elaborate gift even if it does come in a special wrapper but that does not make it any less welcome to hungry guests. These chocolate bars can be simple milk chocolate, dark or white chocolate which are filled with items such as almonds or raisins. A particularly loving touch is for there to be a message from the couple on the candy wrapper in addition to the wedding details.

A simple option here is to use a large glass display bowl that is full of various types of candy. An addition to this is to have special boxes made up for every guest with the details of the wedding and if you have decided on a theme of some kind then the box or container can match this.

A simple option here is to use a large glass display bowl that is full of various types of candy. Otherwise a small container, which can be themed if appropriate, can be used instead. You can guarantee it won’t take long before the guests start filling their boxes with the candy. Although not as popular as other edible wedding favors, cookies can have just as much appeal when they are presented properly. Using plain cookies keeps the cost down because they will look best in a presentation box possibly designed especially for the day.

Plain cookies are also easier to use if you decide to have your images inserted onto them. It won’t be difficult locating a bakery that can do this type of work and you can speed up the process even more by supplying your own ideas on how you would like the cookies to look. For something completely different, consider using beverages for the edible wedding favors; tea and coffee spring to mind but there are others.

There are now many specialty brands which many people would like to try but are often afraid too and as with the other favors, there is no reason not to have special presentation boxes made up for the day. Once again, the packaging can contain information about the bride and groom and if it is a metal or plastic container it can be used at a later stage an will not go to waste. With a little bit of imagination it is surprising how effective even simple ideas can be.
