Chocolate Wedding Favors
Chocolate is a popular choice for wedding favors and has to be said, normally greeted with joy by the wedding guests! The usual chocolate favor consists of candy coated dragees or foil wrapped hearts – the quality of which can be a bit hit and miss. However, these types of confectionary are cheap to buy and readily available in bulk purchase options.
If you are considering chocolate for your wedding favors then here are a few ideas to consider:
Chocolate Bars: These are available as wrapped mini bars or as slabs of chocolate. Both of these though can be personalized, with the wrappers coming in a choice of designs and the slabs being iced in a contrasting color of chocolate (usually white chocolate) with your names and wedding date.
Chocolate Lollipops: These are available as round foil wrapped lollies or go for the more unusual brownie pops which consist of a brownie coated in chocolate on a stick! Again personalization is available on both these wedding favors.
Chocolate Cookies: Why not give out some mini chocolate cookies instead of the more expensive custom iced versions? You can easily make these yourself and make three flavors including chocolate, choc chip and double choc chip, your guests can then have a goody bag containing the three flavors. An alternative to mini cookies would be giant cookies which again you could make yourself.
Chocolate Coated Coffee Beans: For a favor with style and elegance why give your guests a bag of chocolate coated coffee beans along with some gourmet coffee and a stylish mug.
Hot Chocolate: If your wedding is in the Fall or in winter then give your guests a warming favor with sachets of hot chocolate, a bag of min marshmallows and a mug to enjoy it from.
Chocolate Cakes: As an alternative to a large wedding cake give your guests cupcakes or mini cakes instead. You can set them on the table settings as normal wedding favors if you wanted to or hire a large stand and display them with your now smaller wedding cake! There is no end to the possibilities with cupcakes and mini cakes but they can be costly, sometimes costing more per cake then per slice of a large cake.
Chocolate Scented Candles: Ok so not an edible favor but a delightful none the less and one which won't have your guests counting calories! Votives are the most popular size of candle for favors although a set of tea lights with a decorative holder can make a nice alternative.
