Having a sweet desert after the meal is something usually reserved for special occasions. It doesn't always have to be some elaborate concoction containing lots of whipped cream either, but perhaps just a piece or two of delicious chocolate or something similar. For this reason candy in its various forms makes for a very good wedding favor.
The options when it comes to candy wedding favors are as varied as for wedding in general - the can be handmade, or perhaps made by yourself to mark the occasion. From luxurious truffles complete with the names of the bride and groom, to classic foiled chocolate hearts, you can come up with many wedding candy ideas that are as original as they are tasty.
About the only problem you are likely to face is that not everyone perhaps likes chocolate, or candy, or mints or anything else you decide to use for your wedding favors. A way to get around this would be to have a large collection of various sweets available and then everyone can pick their own.
Just fill an appropriate vessel with a selection of candy wedding favors that are sure to cater to all kinds of tastes. This is the way to go if you do not want to settle on something definitive - just buy a a little bit of of everything to throw into the mix. What you loose from this is of course the possibility of having each favor personalized.
Also, if you include nuts in any form, make sure they are wrapped and clearly labeled so that anyone with allergies will not eat them by mistake.
Making them yourself
In order to reduce costs, it is a reasonably straightforward affair to make the candy wedding favors yourself. Making chocolate favors is as simple as melting your favorite chocolate and pouring it in a mould, then finally wrapping them in colored foil. If you so desire you can of course go more advanced and make truffle-kind of chocolates by adding butter, cream and possibly other (alcohol) flavorings.
For hard candy, you can strive to buy in bulk to get a good discount and buy your wedding favor boxes or bags separately. Simply doing the packaging yourself will reduce the costs a great deal, which is perfect if you are on a limited budget. All it takes is a little time and effort.
If you want to do something a little more elaborate, it may be a good idea to have someone else take care of organizing your candy wedding favors for you. Personalized favors for example, would be a stylish choice?
Miniature chocolate bars complete with a personalized wrapper with the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding on them make for a a slightly more sophisticated wedding favor. For hard candy the same thing could be used with the personalization on the box instead.
Coming up with a wedding favor that will have everyone absolutely jumping with joy may be a comparatively difficult trick to pull off. But sweets is usually quite a safe bet, as most people will at least enjoy them.
