Candy Wedding Favors

By far one of the most popular wedding favors is candy. The versatility of candy and the ability to coordinate it to just about any wedding makes it a guaranteed winner with brides and guests alike!

Here are just a few great candy favors ideas for your wedding:

o Buy large colorful lollipops as favors and place them in your table centers or arrange them as your table centers! Your guests can then help themselves to one as they like.
o Again give lollipops but have your guests names 'iced' onto each one. You can then use them as name cards as well.
o Visit a wholesaler and purchase candies in a range of different colors and shapes or coordinate them to your wedding colors (if possible). Present them in clear plastic boxes or mini glass sweet jars for a colorful favor!
o Remember all those great candies from your childhood? Well give your guests a trip down memory lane with some retro candies.
o Mix together candies and chocolates for a colorful favor with a touch of luxury!
o For a cheap and cheerful favor, package colorful jelly beans in a cellophane bag and tie up with curling ribbon. Or put them into clear plastic favor boxes for something a little more stylish!
o Have candies made (or make your own) in shapes and colors to coordinate with your wedding, for instance, starfish and sea shells for a beach wedding.
o A popular trend for wedding receptions in recent years has been the candy bar. A buffet style table set up with jars, bowls and dishes of different candies in coordinating colors or simply just a mix of favorites. Add in some little scoops and bags and your guests can help themselves to their wedding favors!
o Coordinate your candies to your wedding theme or season, flowers and butterflies for a summer or garden wedding; pumpkins and leaves for a fall wedding.
o Create personalized favors by having your names and wedding date 'iced' onto large candies.
o Create goody bags with other favors such as soaps, candles, mini photograph frames etc and top them up with a selection of candies.
o Be innovative with your packaging - a selection of candies in a clear topped aluminum tin looks far more stylish than candies wrapped in a bit of tulle!
o Give candy coated chocolates as an accompaniment to some thing else, for instance, a sachet of hot chocolate mix and some candy coated chocolate hearts.
o Candy coated almonds make for a modern twist on a traditional favor. Give them in threes or fives to represent health, wealth, happiness, longevity and fertility.
