Edible Wedding Favors

Ideas for Small Weddings

Chocolates:  

How could you possibly go wrong with the world's most favorite flavor?  The possibilities are limitless.  Merchants have available everything from personalized M&Ms to fine European candies to hot cocoa.  Local bakeries and specialty shops may also offer you elegant and unique options. If you prefer the internet drr out links page for some interesting on-line merchants. If you are trying to stay within a tight budget, Andes mints in organza bags can actually look very nice.  At a wedding I attended in December the candy was cherry malted milk balls.  The red color went well with the Christmas theme and they were tasty to.

Jordan Almonds: 

The tradition of jourdan almonds comes from the Middle East, Greece, and Italy.  To Italians the almonds and their sugar coating represent the bitter sweetness of married life.  Generally, five almonds given in tulle bags signify five wishes for the couple's new life together: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. They can be placed at each place setting or served on trays.  The bags or even decorative boxes offer brides an opportunity to personalize the favor .

Wines:

Technically I supposed wine and champagne are drinkable favors but they are ones your guests may thoroughly enjoy.  A great tradition at wedding feasts, wines are festive and elegant.  Many companies now offer personalized labels with your names and the wedding dates of full and minature bottles.  You can also make your own labels with kits from craft stores such as AC Moore and Michaels.  Wines don't necessarily need any additional decoration but you can add creative touches such as ribbons printed with your names.  Wine glass charms are also a nice touch.  Before you invest your money in wine favors be sure you TASTE it.  Otherwise it might be memorable to your guests for reasons you did not intend.  Price does not necessarily determine taste.  Look for a store or wholesaler that is willing to make a deal.

Coffee and Tea Favors:

Most people enjoy coffee or tea on a daily basis.  Special flavors and blends of both make outstanding wedding favors.  Depending upon your budget and creativity, you can use the coffee wedding favor to make an exceptional gift that your guests will appreciate. If you create your own packaging coffeebeandirect.com is an outstanding merchant.  For two years I have been buying all of my coffee and tea there and I have never been disappointed.
