Engage Everyone's Sweet Tooth At Your Reception With Chocolate Wedding Favors

By Aaron Hu

Edible favors are the gifts that few guests can say no to. They are, pardon the pun, a short and sweet way to thanks to guests for coming. Also they are gifts that meet one of the key standards for a successful wedding favor, that of usefulness. What is more useful than a present someone can eat. Food is often a popular gift at other special occasions but at a reception where a lot of food is already going to be served. A popcorn tin or fruit basket can be seen as too much in such cases. So what are good edible favors to give to your reception guests? Try giving coffee, tea, and chocolate wedding favors. These gifts are simple and can be used either immediately or later. It also engages the sense of taste which can trigger powerful memories. Edible gifts can help make your marriage ceremony and reception unforgettable for all your attending guests. Here are some reasons why these gifts are such a great choice and also some suggestions on what to look for in choosing them.

Coffee and tea favors are long lasting edible gifts. Coffee and tea are items that last for long periods of time so your guests can use them right after the wedding, at their home or hotel or they can save them for a special occasion. They also are very easy to customize. You can give each of your guests a different blend of coffee or tea to reflect their personal tastes. You can also personalize them with different inscriptions or even images of you and the groom.

Chocolate is an absolute winner. There are few people that would say no to a chocolate gift from the bride. As an edible favor it also has the advantage that it either be used immediately or saved for a later date if preferred by the guest. It's also another favor that is very easy to personalize. It is a candy that can be made into virtually any shape and can be engraved with an inscription as well as being packaged in many different and interesting ways.

A good idea when looking for any great edible guest gift is to take your guests' taste into account. No two people are alike and different people have different preferences when it comes to food. Depending on the size of the guest list there are a couple of ways to approach this. One is to ask as a pretext for the menu of your reception, what peoples' food preferences are. This works best if your have a smaller ceremony and reception with close family and friends. If larger the other option is to diversify in preparation to take people's potential preferences into account ahead of time. For example you would know that there is always the possibility that there may be people with allergies or simply might want to exchange their edible gift for something they have a better preference for.

Another good idea is take advantage of the variety available to add a bit of surprise and interest to your reception. Variety in this case means an opportunity to introduce your guest to unique flavors that they may not have had a chance to try. This way the coffee, tea, or chocolate will become the novelty item that will keep your guests talking about long after the ceremony is over.
