Traditional Wedding Candy Favors

If you're Italian, it only makes sense to honor the Italian tradition of giving five Jordan almonds (or "bomboniere" as they're known") to signify health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. Though typically a tulle bag is used, this bride and groom opted for a muslin option stamped with "grazie" as a token of thanks for all of the guests.

Can't agree on the type of candy? No problem. At this May wedding, friends and family went home with custom bars from Chocolate Editions that were half salted dark chocolate (the bride's favorite) and half caramelized white (the groom's pick). The bars were topped with a personalized label.

Adding a personal touch is easy—just make something yourself. Rum, chocolate, and caramel pecan clusters are easy peasy and oh-so-decadent.

Dragee Favor Boxes

It doesn't get any easier (or cuter) than this. Put dragees in notched-petal favor boxes. Arrange five of these unusual shapes together in a circle and, voila, you've got a classic five-petaled cherry blossom.

Old-Time Candy Cup Favors

062805_wed_gt01.jpg

For a favor that brings out the kid in guests, turn baking cups into darling dishes brimming with old-fashioned hard candies (these have hazelnut-chocolate filling). The cups are normally used for baking single servings of brioche, so they're made of stiff paper that can hold lots of little treats. To package each favor, add candy to the cup, then wrap in cellophane. Tie closed with a ribbon threaded with a printed paper tag.

Photograph Favors

Chocolate bars adorned with the faces of the bride and groom are sweet in more ways than one. Choose a few favorite photos, then print them using an ink-jet printer or photocopy onto lightweight paper (enlarge or reduce images if needed). With a paper cutter, trim so photos are slightly shorter than candy bars. Remove outer wrappers but not inner foil. Wrap each candy bar with a photo, and secure in back with double-sided tape. Adorn with waxed twine tied in a small bow.

Paper Candy Dish Favors

ft_msw03cand01.jpg

The fortune-teller of your childhood can make a grown-up statement at a wedding or shower. To make one, fold a 7-inch square of decorative paper into quarters. Unfold, then (printed side down) fold corners into center. Turn over and fold corners into center again. Turn over again, and place thumbs and forefingers in flaps and lift. Fill with candy.

Dress up cellophane bags with decorative paper to showcase candy for favors or guest-room gifts. Cut paper as wide as the bag and as long as the bottom plus 1 inch for the front and the amount you want for the back. Fold. Embellish with a personalized message or monogram. Slip liner into bag, and fill bag with candy. Center ribbon along top of bag; fold bag over ribbon twice. Tie ribbon.

These place cards will make a "favorable" impression as guests arrive at their tables. Here, tented cards do double duty: directing people to their seats, and sealing sacks of candy.

For a formal look, wrap chocolates in pleated foil. Line a box with lightweight paper, fill, and wrap in gold foil. The tag is a tented place card; fold it over a ribbon (taped at back), and secure with a seal.

Colorful Chocolate Favors

Credit: Sang An

Graphically printed bark (chocolate spread thin and then broken into irregular pieces) is too nice to cover up, so use a clear lid. Grosgrain ribbon, taped around the lid's sides, picks up hues inside. A monogram tag is kept small so as not to obstruct the view.
