Wedding favors light up the personal space which your guests are seated at, not because they are lit (that's dangerous), but because they provide an element of mild entertainment and accompaniment to your guests. Wedding favors also make for easy conversation starters, and if (God forbid) your guests get bored, they'll at least have something interesting to look at and play with.

Not all wedding favors have to be heart-shaped chocolates or a piece of fruit cake sitting in a box. If you have the time, money and/or resources, here are some other edible wedding favors to consider:

Are wedding favours necessary? After all, there were many other weddings you've gone to and either eaten up their wedding favours or filled up a display cabinet with souvenirs. How could yours be different?

Weddings can be very expensive. Whether you do all the planning yourself, including making the food for the reception, hosting the wedding in your home or yard and setting up the floral arrangements yourself, you are going to be spending money. The more guests you have, the more expensive the wedding will be. One of the ways you can save money at your wedding is to make your own wedding favors.
