As far as modern day wedding favors go they don’t get much more popular than cookie wedding favors. Indeed, it has to be said that if wedding guests were polled on their preferred choice of favor they would a) choose something edible and b) that something would be a cookie
Cookie favors can be made up in a wide choice of shapes and of course iced to match the wedding colors. Some brides will use them as place cards by having their guests names iced on to them, whilst others choose a simple ‘thank you’ instead.
I am unsure as to why cookie favors have become so popular. Perhaps it is because they can be made to suit any wedding and despite them appearing at many wedding tables across the world, there is still something quite unique and delightful about them.
However, they are not cheap. Average prices for cookie favors are in the region of $5 - $7 each, more than double the cost of other types of favors such as candles or chocolates. That said, if you are handy in the kitchen yourself you can make them for a fraction of the cost and have the satisfaction and compliments of your guests
The other attraction of cookies is the wide choice of flavors you could have. This means you could even coordinate the flavor of your cookies to your wedding, for instance, gingerbread for a winter wedding, honey cookies for a summer wedding or chocolate for a fall wedding.
If you are not confident at icing then why not make up mini cookies in a variety of flavors and give your guests a goody bag of cookie treats instead or make giant cookies in flavors such as choc chip or vanilla shortbread
When it comes to wrapping them most brides choose simple clear cellophane bags tied with some ribbon at the top. These types of bags are perfect for showcasing your cookies whilst protecting them at the same time. Mini cookies would be nice in colored paper bags or large boxes. The one thing to remember though is not to order them or make them too early otherwise they could be stale by the time the wedding day arrives.
Whether you have them custom made or make them yourself, it looks as if cookies are here to stay and most likely at the top of the popular wedding favors list
