But back to candy wedding favors! Everyone loves candy and so long as you stick to the traditional hard candies or chewy varieties, you won't go far wrong. Not only do they taste delicious but there is something very pleasing about a package of colourful candies sitting on your place setting. Here are a few ideas for creating candy wedding favors that your guests will love.
- Choose candies in your wedding colors and package them in clear plastic boxes or cone bags tied with ribbon.
- If you are having a common theme running throughout your wedding such as hearts or flowers, look for candies in these shapes and in your wedding colors for a pretty favour.
- For a traditional or formal wedding combine traditional sugar coated almonds or chocolate dragees with similar shaped candies in the same colors and present them in pretty card boxes.
- The traditional tulle nets are perfect for candies and look amazing when tied correctly so the tops frill out. Practice perfecting these or they will look rather meagre!
- Choose clear topped tins to present your candies in and decorate with a personalized sticker.
- If your budget will run to it set up a candy bar with a number of different candies presented in an assortment of jars and bowls. Add some little scoops and bags so your guests can help themselves their own wedding favors.
- Go retro and give your guests candies from your childhood. You take this a step further and ask your guests to email you their favourite childhood candies.
- If you are feeling creative have a go at making your own candies. You will find kits at craft and cook stores as well as online and the process is as simple as melting the candy mixture and pouring into moulds.
- Place colourful lollipops in your centrepieces and let your guests help themselves.
- Look out for personalized candies which can be written up with your names and wedding date, or alternatively a thank you message. Another version of these are candies presented in personalized packaging.
- 50's retro is a big trend for 2011 so give your guests mini gumball machines filled with colorful candies.
