Five Types of Edible Wedding Favors

The wedding favor is a small gift given to the guest of a wedding. There have been many creative renditions of favors, but today we talk about the best kind, the edible wedding favor.

Beside the entire occasion itself, guests look forward to weddings not just to watch friends and family share in the memory of a milestone, but also because of all the goodies. Yes, we're even referring to wedding favors. It's true, there are all kinds of wedding favors but today we are going to discuss our very favorite type, the edible.

We like the idea of the edible wedding favor because you not only create a beautiful, single serving little package which makes guests feel special, but if you are really selective about what you put inside, you also create a delicious memory that your guest will always associate with your celebration. Lets jump into some favorites so you can see how easy (and sometimes ecco) it is to go with an edible favor. 
  

Five Types of Edible Wedding Favors

1. The Ready to Eat Pretty Package. When it comes to edible wedding favors, it's really simple to go with a "ready-to-go" option. This just means you buy your goodies in bulk, your pretty packaging, put the two together and your favors are good to go. 

2. The All-In-One Jar Mix. I really love the way this type of edible looks. The idea behind it is that you select your favorite baked good (or hot chocolate) mix, buy the ingredients and mix them in advance. Select a style of jar you like and fill it with the mix. Your guests get to enjoy a little baked good in the comfort of their home. 

3. Artisan Cupcake Package. This option is definitely going to be a little heavier on the budget, but a fun one. This involves ordering your favorite mini cupcakes, from Cake Made By M.E.'s menu (or your favorite local baker), maybe even treat everyone to sprinkles. Buy your pretty packaging in advance and put it all together. 

4. The S'more Kit. We're sure you've probably seen the s'more kit favor hanging around your Pinterest feed and we think it's fabulous. It is one that is lighter on the budget. You buy the ingredients, your pretty packaging and then put it all together. Splurge on delicious gourmet chocolate and marshmallows for an extra special touch. 

5. The Treat Yourself Later Favor. This type of favor involves sharing something you absolutely love and giving a little of that to your guests for them to enjoy later. Think your favorite lotion, tea leaves or even a special flavor of coffee. Then like the rest of our suggestions, pick out some pretty packaging and put it all together.
