To trend away from the elaborate and sometimes expensive guest favor, here are a few practical, tasteful, and certainly yummy, edible ideas. We couldn’t help but turn to a few of our favorite things – food & drink!

Cupcake in a Jar:
This new twist on the “dessert in a jar” favor is not only beautiful BUT delicious too. We couldn’t resist and don’t think your guests will either. The cupcake in a jar makes it easy for your guests to take for later without squishing it but they probably aren’t going to go too far before indulging… These mini-desserts are baked in a variety of flavors and colors – more reasons to eat more than one!
Feeling DIY? Look at the tutorial from Cakies to see how these scrumptious favors are made.

Personalized Treats:
There are many different sweets that can be personalized like these fun and quirky flavors of Jones sodas. Choose from a range of vibrant colors that they are offered in, they can match any wedding color scheme. The retro bottle can be personalized with pictures of you with your honey and given to your guests to enjoy, not only at the reception, but to take home with them (if they last!).

Chocolate Treats:
Ahhh chocolate – we must mention the huge-crowd-pleaser chocolate! From personalizing your favorite chocolate bar with a custom wrapper and message (we can spend hours choosing the right label) to a complete chocolate dessert bar, the options are endless here as well as the price. Use labels, font color and ribbon to compliment your décor perfectly and you will have not only a tasty but gorgeous display for your guests like this candy bar from one of our MW weddings.

Fresh Fruit:
Using fresh fruit as your favor is not only beautiful but it is also a sustainable option. Besides being healthy and a “green” favor, fruit can serve many purposes at your reception from a decor accent to actually doubling as your escort card by attaching your guest’s name to each piece of fruit. The fruit you choose will ideally be locally grown, in season as well as compliment your color palette. The granny smith apples below went perfectly with the spring green and cream color scheme at this MW wedding.
