Tips for Choosing the Best Edible Wedding Favors

Taking wedding favors into consideration, focus on these tips:

1. Match Your Theme

Giving wedding favors the same feel/look as one's wedding theme, season, or color fit is tasteful. Jam and honey are apt gifts for rustic weddings-give chocolates or macarons for those with a ballroom ambiance. 

2. Storage and Weather Considerations                

Think about how your edible favors will fair. Chocolate is not a good idea for an outdoor, summer wedding; neither are baked goods without the required packaging, for they would probably become stale.

3. Write Down Ingredients or Allergen Info

If your favors contain common allergens like nuts, dairy, or gluten, you should also include a note for guests who may have dietary restrictions.

4. Make Them Grab-and-go

Your guests will appreciate favors that are easy to take home. Compact packaging, individual wrapping, and tags help keep things neat and convenient.
