Wedding favors have become a traditional part of wedding receptions in recent years.
Favors are small, inexpensive items that are given by the bride and groom to the guests as a special "Thank you" for attending.
Favors convey the genuine gratitude felt by the couple in a manner that a simple "Thank you" card can't equal.
When shopping for favors, most couples want their guests to know that they have good taste.
Now it is possible to give out favors that taste good.
Coffee and Tea Favors and Chocolate favors fit the bill on both counts.
Coffee and tea favors generally consist of a coffee mug with a selection of coffees, teas, or a mix of the tea included inside.
Almost everyone drinks coffee or tea in one form or another, making these favors a type that will be greatly appreciated by all of the guests.
It is possible to choose the flavors of coffee or tea in most of these favor items, so matching them to the guests' preferences should be fairly easy.
Another advantage of giving coffee and tea favors is the fact that many suppliers allow personalization of the items by adding the names of the couple and the wedding date to either the cup or the coffee/tea envelopes.
Personalization makes certain that the recipients will think about this wedding and the good time they had attending it whenever they drink the coffee or tea.
Even people who do not use either substance will appreciate the mug and will think of the couple whenever they use it.
Another tasty treat to consider giving as wedding favors is chocolates.
Chocolate wedding favors may be cookies, cakes, or, more likely, sweet chocolate candies.
No matter which are chosen to give as favors, the simple truth is that there are not many people who do not appreciate fine chocolate and most of those have an allergy or something that the couple would be aware of in plenty of time to substitute something else for that person.
It is even possible to order personalized packets of hot cocoa to add to the coffee and tea favors mentioned above.
Many chocolate wedding favors come in the form of pieces or bars of chocolate that lend themselves readily to personalization.
Wrappers for these bars and pieces must be manufactured anyway, so having them imprinted with the names of the new couple and their wedding date for larger pieces, or even an initial for smaller pieces will not add a significant amount to the price.
It will, however, increase the value of these sweet treats and cause those who receive them to think about the couple and their wedding as they consume the chocolate.
All couples have a strong desire to give out favors that their guests will find in good taste.
With coffee and tea favors or chocolate favors, these items are not only in good taste, but taste good as well.
