What's delicious, easy to make, and a crowd favorite?

Edible favors, of course! Favors that revolve around food never get left behind, and what's more, they are less likely to be collecting dust in your bridesmaids' homes. They pick it up, eat it, and are done! Less waste if you ask us.

Edible favors are great for bridal showers, wedding receptions, and even definitely for parties. If you're thinking of having edible favors for your bridal showers, firstly, here are some things to take note of:

1. Always make extras because there's a high chance that guests will be taking more than one

2. Consider dietary restrictions and allergies – always go with the safer option

3. Make sure you choose edible favors that have a good shelf life and are not highly perishable

Here are five edible favors that you can get inspired by:

• Specialty brew tea

A special brew of tea in a personalized bag is one way of getting the girls calm and relaxed after a long night of partying and dancing. Whether you are all waking up the next day in your hotel rooms or unpacking your bag after the bachelorette weekend, a nice cup of tea is a great way to wind down and reminisce about the good times.

• Jar of honey or maple syrup

Depending on what your girl group likes, a small jar of honey or maple syrup (for vegans) is a great way to thank you. It's also a lovely souvenir to bring home after the sweet party all of you had. Honey or maple syrup holds well, lasts long, and can be added to pancakes, tea, or anything else your bridal party desires.

• Petit macarons

Is your bridal shower a Parisian affair? Why not add a box of madeleines or macarons with a personalized sticker for your bridal shower? Macarons are such an elegant way to thank your bridal party for joining in the celebrations and celebrating your last few weeks or days as a single woman.

• Chocolate bars

  
  

How do you announce you're getting married and want your best girls with you? Announce It! can help you create personalized chocolate bars that you can send to your girl gang to let them know you're getting hitched. Everyone loves chocolate which means you can turn personalized chocolate bars into a bridal shower invitation or a bridal party favor to ensure that your bridal party starts on a chocolatey note.

• Specialty oils and gourmet salts

  
  

Managing dietary requirements and allergies for a large group can be daunting. If you are looking for something straightforward but elegant, a selection of specialty olive oils and gourmet salts may be something you're looking for. Bottles of pressed and infused virgin olive oil with garlic, basil, and lemon pepper are some favorites that hold well, last long, and are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Gourmet salts are also an excellent bridal shower or wedding favor. Habanero sea salt, black garlic sea salt, truffle and rosemary, seaweed, and lemon sea salt are all wonderful flavors to consider for your edible favor. 

• Mini champagne bottles

  
  

Is anyone in your bridal party going to say NO to mini champagne bottles to kick up the weekend of fun with the girls? Mini champagne bottles with your custom label are among the popular favors for any party as they do double-duty as a favor, escort card, and something to cheer with! It's a great way to jump-start a party by getting your guests to enjoy a drink the moment they arrive.
