Homemade Ideas For Your Wedding Favor Bags

If you are having a laid back, homey wedding, you may not be looking for an elegant wedding favor idea. Instead, for your wedding favors you want something comfortable and unpretentious. You want something that is cute, edible, and fun. Here are some ideas for some homemade wedding favors to be put into a wedding favor bag.

Oreo Tux And Wedding Gown

This is a very cute idea for something edible and fun to put into a wedding favor bag. You will need to have two Oreos for each guest. First, dip one cookie half way into a white chocolate coating. Wait for the cookies to dry almost all the way and then make a semi circle of silver sprinkles (or any color, really!), to look like a necklace on the edge of the cookie. If you need to, you can make a stencil to guide your semi circle so the cookies are all even. You now have your wedding dress Oreo!

For the tux, dip the cookies in dark chocolate. While they are drying, make a stencil of a pie shaped wedge. After the cookies have dried, use the stencil to paint white chocolate in a pie shaped wedge to represent the top of a tuxedo. After this has dried, use a small paintbrush and dark chocolate to put two small V shapes on the white part that you painted earlier. Next put 2-3 dots for buttons below the V neck.

After drying, put these cookies together in a tulle wedding favor bag or other transparent wedding favor bag. What a unique idea!

Mini Cakes

Mini cakes are perfect to put in an organza or tulle wedding favor bag. All you have to do is bake a normal sheet cake in an 8 inch by 11 inch pan. Use cookie cutters to cut small cakes from the larger cake. You can either cut them in normal squares, or use the cookie cutter for something interesting like a heart. The key to making these able to be put in a wedding favor bag is using fondant icing on them. This is a hard icing that stays perfectly in place. However, some people do not like the taste of it. You can always put regular icing underneath the fondant so that the guest can pull the fondant off and still have yummy icing on his or her cake. Make the cakes extra special by writing the date of the wedding on them!
