Wedding Favors

Couples put so much planning into their wedding, that sometimes it just amazes me! One thing that some couples do is provide wedding favors for their guests. They are not required of course, but some couples choose to have them. Often they're just fun treats, like custom printed M&M's or custom wrapped Altoids or something like that. Occasionally however, the couple goes a little above and beyond. I wanted to share a few examples of some of the more unique favors I've seen over the years.

Steven and Jennifer chose to have custom wrapped Jones soda's for their guests. To get your own custom Jones soda's all you have to do is go to their website. They had a variety of flavors on each table, which were a colorful addition.



Theo and Suzanne had some custom labeled salsa for each guest. They had a light southwest theme to their reception and these were an attractive addition to the tables. As a bonus, you could have used it right then if you chose, to go along with some of the fabulous food they had.



Erin and Brandon had some of my favorite favors of all time! Erin's mom had recently finished training as a chef and just got her licensing for her own catering business. As a labor of love, she prepared custom chocolate dipped caramel apples for each guest. You should know that there was not an apple left when the guests departed! They were very well received.

This first one is a white chocolate dipped caramel apple that had white chocolate piping to represent the bridal gown.



If you didn't get a "bride" apple, you got a chocolate dipped caramel apple "groom" in his tuxedo. If you know anything about caramel apples you know that they're fairly perishable, so they can't be prepared two weeks in advance. Erin's mom is a treasure - not only did she make about 175 apples the week of the wedding, but she also made the wedding cake. Now, that is love.
