Often couples just cannot make a decision about what gifts to present to their guests and in this situation it always worth falling back on edible wedding favors. Then next decision to be made is which type to use; sweet or savory and whilst there are no hard and fast rules on this, most guests will prefer to have sweet! You can make this really elaborate if you wish but generally a candy that comes with a commemorative wrapper is a great idea.

I haven't come across many people that won't eat chocolate in any of its varieties especially if it has a special flavored center. Many people may eat the chocolate at the wedding but will probably keep any packaging that it comes in, as a souvenir.

Some brides and grooms may even decide to have their pictures on the wrapper along with their names and the wedding date. Tins filled with candy are another option for brides and grooms who want to give out edible wedding favors. By having the date, time and location of the wedding on the candy tin it makes it something that the guest will want to keep.

The guests may eat the candy soon after the wedding but they can keep the candy tin as a reminder of your wedding; they can use it to store other small items such as change, sewing needles, rubber bands or virtually anything which is small enough to be stored in them. Almost everyone likes candy and that is why such a large percentage of weddings feature it as their edible wedding favor.

A simple option here is to use a large glass display bowl that is full of various types of candy. An addition to this is to have special boxes made up for every guest with the details of the wedding and if you have decided on a theme of some kind then the box or container can match this. This way each guest can put whatever candies they like in the container and take it home when they leave the reception.

Cookies are other options for brides and grooms who want to give out edible wedding favors and there are a number of different options in this case. You can select cookies which are rather plain in nature but place them in keepsake boxes with the bride and grooms' names as well as the date of the wedding.

Another way to use cookies as wedding favors is to have them displaying a photo of the couple. Cookies can be baked in a variety of shapes so all that needs to be done is to supply a picture for them to imprint. With the variety of teas and coffees available these days, there is no reason why these cannot be the edible wedding favors used by the couple.

Tea, coffee and cocoa are very popular with many people and there a huge range to choose from these days so you would not have just stick with the most popular available. Often the contents are in tins which can be personalized with the bride and grooms details and makes the box or tin more collectible. With a little bit of imagination it is surprising how effective even simple ideas can be.
