A great many of our New Jersey wedding<\/a> couples have gone back to the tradition of offering wonderful wedding favors for their guests to take home as they leave our wedding reception venue. (In the past few years, some couples chose to skip the favors as a way to save money, but thoughtful take-home favors are now back on the Must list!) What the couples choose to give as wedding favors has evolved from those tiny photo frames and wine glasses embossed with the bride and groom\u2019s name to a new trend that makes guests much happier \u2013 edible gourmet treats.<\/p>\n

Your wedding reception lasts several hours, and the wedding cake and desserts may have been served an hour or two before the close of your celebration. So when guests find that their wedding favors are delicious frosted brownies or theme-decorated cupcakes, they very often treat themselves to these treats before they even leave your reception! That\u2019s the mark of a great edible wedding favor. Guests can\u2019t wait to enjoy them.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most popular edible wedding favors that we\u2019ve seen, and made, for our New Jersey wedding couple\u2019s take-home treats:<\/p>\n

\u2022Frosted brownies
\nFrosted cookies, in heart-shapes or cut into wedding theme<\/a> shapes like a bride\u2019s dress or a wedding dove<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chocolate-chip cookies<\/p>\n

\u2022 White macadamia nut cookies<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gourmet truffles<\/p>\n

\u2022 Theme-shape chocolates, such as hearts or butterflies<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pastel sugar-covered Jordan almonds (a traditional, symbolic favorite of our New Jersey wedding couples!)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gourmet flavored wedding cupcakes<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hazelnut cream-filled cookies<\/p>\n

\u2022 Personalized candies, such as M&Ms sporting the initials or names of the bride and groom<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wedding color-matched jelly beans<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chocolate bark<\/p>\n

\u2022 Fudge squares in a variety of flavors<\/p>\n

\u2022 Seasonal-matched wedding favor treats, such as maple brownies for a fall wedding<\/p>\n

\u2022 Baggies of gourmet-flavored popcorn or kettlecorn, the couple\u2019s favorite snack<\/p>\n

\u2022 And more\u2026<\/p>\n

Presentation is key for wedding favors, so package each edible treat in its own ribbon-tied box or cellophane baggie, and affix a thank-you message label right to the package, expressing your gratitude that guests came to share your day with you.<\/p>\n

All the best,
