Reese's Peanut Butter Cups:  You can buy monogrammed or personalized themed circular labels that are just the right size to put on the bottom of Reese's peanut butter cups.  Nothing beats the taste of chocolate and peanut butter except the fact that these ones are personalized too!

Hershey's Kisses:  Just like the peanut butter cups, you can buy small round labels to adhere yourself or buy them already assembled with your initials, monogram or names along with a fun design.  Put a few inside a tulle circle or bag and you'll have the perfect wedding favor.

York Peppermint Patties:  Let your guests feel the sensation when they unwrap these silver foil covered peppermint patties that feature custom labels that are imprinted with your names, wedding date, and design of your choice.

Decorated Truffles: Truffles and petit fours are now available dusted with powdered sugar designs. You can get your initials or any design you like stenciled on top. A very upscale and mouthwatering treat.

Double-Dipped Chocolate-Covered Cherries: These little confections come dipped in white or dark chocolate, with or without sprinkles and are boxed.

One Fine Chocolate: Of course, one single piece of the finest chocolate money can buy is always a treat. High end stores and bakeries carry Godiva and Lindt chocolates that are so decadent you really only need to eat one. And they look festive on the tables when you place one at each setting.

Give your guests a sweet treat that they can enjoy either at the reception or in the comfort of their own home!  Here are some delicious candy wedding favor options that your guests are sure to love.

Jelly Beans:  Packets of jelly beans like the ones shown to the right or Jelly Belly Jelly Beans in a color that matches your wedding color scheme can be packaged inside clear candy jars for your guests.

Lollipops: These treats on a stick are available in numerous flavors and you can buy round stickers that feature your names and wedding date along with a design that matches your color scheme and wedding theme perfectly.

Personalized M&Ms: You won’t believe what you can get printed on M&Ms these days. You can have a short message, your name, a date, your picture and more. Select colors that match your décor. Then find a fun way to display them. You can get mini gumball machines and fill them with your personal candy or personalized mini candy shop jars. Or put them in glass favor bottles.

River Stone Candies: These little candies actually look like tiny pebbles. They’re finished in colors that so exactly replicate rocks, you might be scared to eat them. They look charming at a beach wedding in a miniature beach pail. Plus, they’re delicious.

Locally and seasonally inspired wedding favors are a great choice no matter what the season.  Here are just a few gourmet food favor ideas.

Olive Oils and Gourmet Foods: Upscale olive oils, olives, honey, biscotti and more are all being packaged and personalized for weddings. You can choose from an array of treats to match your wedding theme from hot sauce or gourmet ketchup for a backyard wedding to maple syrup for a New England event.

Native Goods: If there’s a specialty edible you can only get in your hometown, bring that in as a favor. Maple syrup candies from a small Vermont town or barbecue sauce from an award winning local restaurant add a personal touch. A local orchard’s apples or wine from a small vineyard are always appreciated.

When it comes to wedding mint tins, options abound.  First you can choose from unfilled or filled tins including mints, candies, gum or sweet tarts.  Then you can choose the tin size and color.  Options include palm size or larger tins and tin colors such as white, black, lavender, pink, and blue.  Finally, you can choose the personalized label design with options for just about every season and theme you can think of.  They are truly fully customized favors filled with clever goodies like heart-shaped mints.
