You finally landed your knight on shining armor! Your new rock
sparkles on your finger, you’ve booked the church and the reception
site, and your dream dress has been ordered. Now, it's time to get
down to the nitty gritty. What colors do you want? Who will be your
Maid of honor? Which flowers should you choose? And what kind of
wedding favors would your guests really appreciate the most?
Your choice of wedding favors can be fun and memorable, but it can
also be a bit challenging. With so many choices and ideas put there,
be careful not to let it overwhelm you. A super fun and easy idea is a
candy table. You can go with many different themes: fruit, chocolate,
cookies, vintage choices, or homemade goodies. For containers you can
use monogrammed boxes, or little Chinese takeout boxes in colors that
match your theme. If your wedding is formal, then you can choose wine
glasses. These are so elegant! Couples will leave with a matching set
of glasses! If children will be attending, you can offer plastic sets
for them. To make your favors more special for close family (parents,
grandparents, siblings) you can monogram the glasses with your new
name!
Here are a few great ideas for goodies on your candy and cookie table.
• Custom color your serving containers. Maybe use all white platters
and bowls. Or all clear glass or patterned crystal. You can add color
to your table by placing coordinating tissue paper on each plate or
stand.
• A nice, clean touch would be to use candy and icing that match. Are
your colors lime and hot pink. Use green and pink jelly beans, mm' s,
sweet tarts, and jolly ranchers. If you are having cookies and cakes,
be sure the icing is green and pink.
• Are you having a chocolate bar? You can choose a variety of
chocolate. Try truffles, dark and white chocolate fondue, Hershey
Kisses, chocolate cookies, chocolate covered nuts and raisins, and
even tiny slices of brownies and chocolate cake. Anything chocolate
counts!
• Another unique idea would be to host a sundae bar. Provide your
guests with two or three flavors of ice cream and go wild with the
topping choices! They can take home their sundae cups and spoons!
• Here is a final idea. Host a drink bar. You can offer a huge choice of
punches, specialty drinks, milkshakes, hot chocolates, slushiest, or
flavored coffees. Of course, your guests get to take home their
beverage glass or cup. These will make great memory keepers. Everyone
will remember your special day each time they reach for their new
glass!
