When planning a wedding be sure to give special attention to the
wedding favors. Wedding favors are given to guests as a thank
you to friends and family for sharing in your special day.
Do you know what one thing is a favorite for not only wedding
favor ideas but wedding gift ideas
too? Candy! If you don't know the couple very well or are just
at a loss as to what to give them, a gourmet box of chocolate
candy is sure to please.
To add a keepsake value to the candy wedding favor, many brides
to be choose decorative boxes or baskets to hold the candy
that guests can display and use in their homes to remember the
day for years to come. The boxes and baskets can be decorated
with the colors and theme of the wedding, and personalized to
include the couple's names, initials or help to tell the story
of their lives and achievements with their design.
The favor boxes and baskets are then filled with chocolate candy
of all types. Chocolate kisses can be found wrapped in many
different colors of foil, or you can have them specialty wrapped
to color coordinate with the wedding. Chocolate truffles,
chocolate dipped pretzels, and chocolate-coated nuts are among
the favorites to include. For variety, add some bite size
versions of the all time favorite candy bar, hard candy in a
variety of flavors and colors and don't forget the candy cane.
Candy canes now come in gourmet flavors and colors and with a
bow tied around them make a nice addition to the mix. A candy
cane with card attached to the bow can also serve dual function
as a placeholder and an after dinner mint.
Everyone loves candy and will find something in the box that
makes their mouth water. The key to a great candy favor box is
variety and of course the container. The possibilities are
limited only by your imagination. Boxes can be paper, wooden,
glass or crystal. The candy assortment can be wrapped in colored
foil, tissue paper, any style of transparent gift-wrap or small
fabric bags. Confetti placed inside adds a fun & festive touch
and a pretty bow tied around it another. This type of candy
favor can also be tied around a larger favor such as a candle or
bath salts. Baskets are very versatile and used later by the
guests to hold keys, jewelry, and other small items around their
home.
When picking your wedding gift ideas, whatever your decision, be
sure to include some candy. Chocolate candy, hard candy, the candy bar and candy cane
bring out the child in all of us. And who knows better how to
laugh, have fun and enjoy a special day better than children?
