The choices that you need to make when planning your wedding reception can seem overwhelming.
One thing to consider is what you will be passing out as wedding favors.
Wedding favors are a great way to say thank you to your guests for sharing your special day.
Many brides and grooms choose to give candy as their wedding favors.
Candy is something that can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.
It is relatively inexpensive, and does not require a lot of work in order to have it ready for your guests.
You have many choices when it comes to wedding candy.
Chocolate candy is a popular choice.
You can have candy bars made with personalized labels that include your names, your wedding date, and even a photograph.
You can order these through wedding supply companies, or you could even make them yourself on a home computer.
Small, individually wrapped pieces of chocolates can be placed in small gift bags and closed with a ribbon that matches your color scheme.
Many brides are also choosing to make their own chocolate candy using wedding themed chocolate molds.
You can find also find candy molds in various other shapes that might be appropriate for themed wedding receptions.
If you are having an outdoor wedding reception and are worried about the chocolate melting, you could offer hard candy favors instead.
Peppermints are always appreciated after dinner and can look especially attractive if you are using red flowers at the reception site.
For a more casual wedding, you might choose less traditional hard candies such as root beer barrels.
These would work well with a country theme.
Another option is tin boxes with breath mints.
These can also be personalized with the name of the bride and groom and the wedding date.
For a late night reception, try chocolate covered coffee beans.
Not only do they taste great, but it will help keep your reception going all night long! For a Valentine's Day wedding, try personalized conversation hearts.
You can get lollipops with custom wrappers, or even a special design imprinted on the lollipop itself.
Another favorite is candied almonds.
You can get these in several colors, such as pink, ivory, lavender, and blue.
For a bride who wants a traditional candy favor, this is probably your best bet.
Wedding candy can be found in a multitude of colors and styles and can easily be incorporated into the overall plan of your reception.
