It’s nice to give wedding-shower guests a small favor to take home. One of the easiest and most enjoyed gifts is one they can eat. Edible gifts can be personal, out of the ordinary and inexpensive.
Match Your Interests
You probably fell in love with your soon-to-be spouse because you both share similar interests and enjoy doing certain things together. Tell your guests about this with favors like the ones below:
- Wine: Add a personalized label to a bottle of your favorite wine
- Cooking: Give a small terra-cotta pot of your favorite herb
- Movies: Wrap a box of chocolate-covered popcorn
Tie in With the Wedding Theme
Cookies can be shaped and frosted to tie in with nearly any theme. Here are four creative cookie ideas:
- Fantasy Island: Colorful fish and pink seashells
- An Evening in Paris: The Eiffel Tower
- A Royal Affair: Golden crowns with red, green and blue jewels
- Mountain-High Love: Glistening, white snowflakes
Remember Your Hometown
Lots of people move away from the place they were born but like to remember growing up there. Go down memory lane with something like the following:
- Maine: A mini-size bottle of blueberry syrup and box of blueberry pancake mix
- Louisiana: A tin of Cajun spice, recipe for crab cakes and small mallet used to crack open crabs
- New York City (The Big Apple): A few shiny red apples or mini apple tart
- Honolulu: Traditional Hawaiian wedding cookies
- Georgia: A bag of peanuts with homemade peanut brittle
Wrap Them Beautifully
The favors container is as important as the favor itself. Make them pretty and easy to carry with these tips:
- Wrapped candies can be put into cloth or net bags tied with a ribbon
- Loose cookies and unwrapped candies are safer in a box lined with tissue paper
- Breakable items like bottled olive oil or a potted plant should be placed in a box or bag with bubble wrap
- Use a small shopping bag in your shower’s color when you give a number of items together like the blueberry syrup and pancake mix
Your shower guests will appreciate the thoughtfulness and creativity that you put into creating distinctive edible favors.
