1) Edible Wedding Favors
How many of us have an ever-growing collection of mugs, bottle openers, key chains, magnets, or other customized knickknacks you have not even thought about since your college friend’s wedding three years ago? While these wedding favors can be a great memento of the bride and groom’s special day, they typically end up in a dusty corner rendered useless by the next morning. Giving guests something they will always remember, a snack or drink for the way home while still customizing it to your big day. This could be cookies, popcorn, candied or spiced nuts, or mini champagne or wine bottles! Customizing these items serves to represent a couple’s consummation but allows them to be practically used and always remembered by guests.

The photobooth at a wedding is undeniably one of guest’s favorite parts of a wedding.

Its simplicity could not only be cost-effective for brides wishing to replicate the trend but is also timeless.
4) Micro Cakes
