Let’s get down to the real decision-making: what are you giving guests for a wedding favor?
- Will you give selflessly to others on behalf of your guests*?
- Will you buy some sort of bulk trinket with your name and wedding date etched on for guests to remember the date (that will likely end up in the trash with the invitation)?
- Or will you choose an edible favor that almost everyone will love – guaranteeing your wedding favor budget wasn’t spent in vain?
Let’s be real: name one person who isn’t a fan of delicious wedding favors.
If you can name one, I’ll be surprised. If you can name one and they’re not a crotchety person who is dissatisfied with 97% of life, I’ll mail you a dollar.
Here is a delectable list of 11 treats that double as decadent and delicious wedding guest favors.
If you’re on a diet, I’m sorry in advance for the terrible cravings that are about to commence.
