Choc. Chip Otis Spunkmeyer cookies as WEDDING FAVOR? (We'll also have CDs as favors. )Wedding in 40 days!!

Question

Wedding is August 30. Fiance' loves music--BUT, not sure if the CDs with our favorite love songs will be enough. We really love these cookies, so were thinking of sharing them with our guests, in addition to the CDs. I'd bake them the day before, and place in a bag with a ribbon. Thoughts?

Answer 1

What better way to say thank you to wedding guests then a wonderful cookie wedding favor. However, the question in most people's mind is what are some good ideas for a cookie wedding favor. You do not want the cookie wedding favor to be to simple and homemade looking that others will laugh but you also do not want it to look commercial and mass produced. So there is a delicate balance that must be held with all wedding favors.

By following some of the ideas below you can easily select a fun cookie wedding favor that will please everyone.

Less is more

This is really true when it comes to cookies. You do not want to overload the guest with a huge bag of 25 chocolate chips cookies placed in a zip lock back. You will want to go for a more sophisticated taste in cookies for a wedding favor. So instead of piling on tons of cookies go with just a few very elegant cookies. Less is truly more, more elegant, more savored, and more of a cookie wedding favor.

It's all in the wrapping

Presentation of the cookie wedding favor is also very important. No simple zip lock bag will work for this situation. The time of year, type of cookie and theme of the wedding will really dictate the wrapping. For example if it is a autumn wedding favor a pale pink tissue paper will be to subtle for the season. So try to think about all three things, theme, time, and cookies when putting the wrapping together.

I would also attach a little card to the bag by punching a hole and tieing it to a ribbon.  The card could read as follows:

First name of bride and groom centered on top of card: Jane and John
