Cookies bring back special memories of childhood to many of us so it is not surprising that cookies given as wedding favors can give guests a special memory of your wedding day. Every time they eat a cookie after your wedding day can bring back memories of your day (or so we would like to think!). Whatever the memory associated with them, cookies make delightful wedding favors.

The choice of cookies as favors makes for a favor that can be tailored to your particular wedding theme or style. They can be made in a huge variety of shapes & can be iced & decorated to coordinate fully with your day. They are also fairly inexpensive compared to other types of wedding favor which you may consider. Although it depends on the size & decoration of the cookie, typical prices range from $2.50 to $5.00 per cookie if made by professionals or less than $0.20 if you (or a family member) make them.

The most popular type of cookies are fortune cookies & these are very common at weddings. Although they may not delight on the taste front, they certainly provide entertainment value for your guests. Look for fortune cookies that your can personalize with your own fortunes inside or personal messages which will make them extra special.

If you are not having a particular theme for your wedding then why not give your guests wedding favor cookies shaped like a bride & groom. Or as an alternative choose hearts or doves. Decorate them accordingly & perhaps pipe on a message of thanks as a finishing touch.

If you make your own cookies then why not make smaller ones & give your guests a selection box of cookies to take home with them. You could make them in different flavors & apply some simple frosting to the top.

Cookie boutiques will offer you a range of designer cookie wedding favors in many shapes, styles, flavors & colors. Your only difficulty will be in picking the right one for your wedding!

If you didn’t want to give edible favors then cookie cutters are a good alternative. Simply attach a thank you tag with some ribbon or raffia to finish them off.

To package your cookie, look for clear cellophane bags which are larger than your cookies so you can gather the tops in & tie with ribbon. Don’t forget to attach a thank you tag as well. Small, mini cookies could be placed in a box as a stylish way to present them.

Experiment with flavors as well. Chocolate, chocolate chip & simple shortbread are all popular, but why not give gingerbread for a holiday wedding or honey biscuits for a summer wedding. You will find a huge choice of flavors so be bold & try something new!

You will find that cookie wedding favors, although popular, can be a fun, unique & memorable wedding favor. They can be personalized & coordinated to your wedding with great ease & edible favors are always a crowd pleaser. They are inexpensive & can be easily made at home for next to nothing. As you can see, cookies really are the king of wedding favors!
