A Treat for Dessert Lovers

Krissy Lanni
Is desert your favorite part of each meal? Do you consider yourself a dessert connoisseur? Can you can name all the hot spots in town for the best dessert? It sounds like dessert is an important part of your life! In that case, why not make it part of your wedding too?

Edible wedding favors add fun to your wedding reception. Not only will you enjoy giving these unique wedding favors; your guests will enjoy receiving them! Who can resist dessert? I can only think of one person. A diabetic! The solution? Order a few sugar-free wedding favors just in case!

Some people give personalized matches as wedding favors; but unless the majority of your guests are smokers, a pack of matches is totally useless! Why spend money on expensive favors people are just going to throw away? Giving matches for wedding favors was the trend in the 80's; edible favors are the trend for modern weddings. If you really want your guests to talk about your wedding for years to come, give out edible wedding favors!

Here comes the fun part. Choosing which edible wedding favor you want for your wedding! Since you are a lover of desserts, it may take a while to decide. Here is a secret tip to help you choose: Find a website which allows you to order samples of edible favors before buying a bulk amount. This will make things easy; pick whichever favor is most delicious! You can even order them in pairs; it will give you and your fiance an opportunity to be true dessert connoisseurs! (Make it a fun evening at home. Cook a romantic dinner and enjoy your delicious dessert buffet of wedding favors!)

So, which edible wedding favors will make your mouth water? Do you love inspirational sayings? Chocolate dipped fortune cookies let you combine two of your favorite things- dessert and inspiration! Share your inspiration for life and love with your guests. What could be more fun or a better way to personalize your wedding than sending guests home with your own words of wisdom? The ideas are endless! You can write a general quote about love or marriage or you can include something funny your fiance did which everyone remembers!

Remember the white fudge covered Oreos only available at Christmastime? Do you hope and pray Santa will leave a package under your tree each year? Guess what! You can buy chocolate covered Oreo wedding favors all year long! Each cookie is drenched in a gourmet chocolate of your choice: white, dark or milk chocolate. They are frosted with a heart, dove, or a bride and groom. Like the popular movie candy classic, Snowcaps, the Oreos are coated with nonpareils.

Wedding cookies are one of the most popular edible wedding favors; adorable and delicious cookies that look as beautiful and detailed as your real wedding cake! So cute, you'll wish they had the cookie wedding gown in your size! You have the option of personalizing the cookies to include your names and the date of your wedding. Your guests will appreciate the thought you put into selecting your favors and will admire your creativity!

Candy apples are a wedding treat everyone will enjoy! Each apple looks like a bride in her wedding gown or a groom in his tux. Imagine a delicious apple dipped in warm gourmet chocolate and coated in caramel! Candy apples are truly DIY wedding favors. If you don't want bride and groom apples, the apples can simply be dipped in chocolate or caramel and sprinkled with a topping of your choice. The selection of toppings is endless! M&Ms, snickers, peanuts, sprinkles, and Oreos are just a few of the basic toppings.

Here is the best part about edible wedding favors. Are you one of the many brides planning a wedding on a budget yet don't want to sacrifice creativity or cute favors? With edible wedding favors, you don't have to! All of the favors I described are ones you can make yourself. Making your own favors will definitely add more to your to-do list; but, if you have a loving mom or friend who is willing to help it's a great idea!
