Candy Wedding Favors To Wow Your Guests

If you need to find budget wedding favors but still want to ensure they have that wow factor then why not consider these ideas for candy favors with added pizzazz!  Candy is relatively inexpensive and every one loves it, so when it comes to giving them as favors it is the perfect choice!
  • Candy Bars: if you want a focal point for your reception other than your wedding cake then set up a candy bar and let your guests help themselves to their wedding favors.  Display different candies and confectionery in a variety of bottles, jars, bowls and containers and provide bags and scoops so your guests can select their favourites to take home.  Find a local wholesaler to save money on buying in bulk.
  • Retro: take a walk down memory lane and give out candies from your childhood.  Everything from love hearts to humbugs can still be found and are sure to get your guests talking.
  • DIY: why not have a go at making your own candies at home?  You can buy kits online and from specialist retailers which will give you everything you need to come up with candies all of your own.
  • Fairground Favorites: why not hire in a cotton candy machine for some added fun during the reception?
  • Lollipops: these come in such a wide range of shapes, sizes and colors that they make a great addition to any wedding.  I have seen them used in floral centrepieces for a quirky touch to reception tables and with the addition of name tags your guests can simply help themselves.  You can also get personalized versions or have them custom made to fit with your wedding scheme.
  • Personalized: you can get a wide range of candies personalized these days with just about anything you want.  From small candies with printed wrappers to larger bars or sticks of rock, it is quite easy to have your names and wedding date added.  Big brands like Love Hearts, M and M's and Hershey's all offer personalization too.
  • Jelly Beans: these are so much fun and look amazing when presented in clear glass jars.  Go for rainbow colors or coordinate them to your wedding for a coherent effect.
  • Go Large: look for big versions of your favourite candies to use as wedding favors.  For instance Love Hearts can be found in double the size, whilst other favourites like lollipops and jelly beans can also be found supersized!
