Homemade Chocolate Ideas for Wedding Showers

Homemade chocolates are the perfect party favors for wedding showers. Most women love chocolate, and love handmade things, so giving your friends and family some special chocolates made just for them as a way of saying “thank you” to them for coming to celebrate your impending marriage is a lovely way to let them know you appreciate them. Here are some fun ideas that you can use to make handmade chocolate wedding shower favors for your friends and family:

  • If you are having an “adult” wedding shower then some homemade chocolates in adult shapes are a lot of fun and a great conversation piece.
  • One of the most popular wedding shower favors is a small box of homemade truffles or other fancy chocolates tied with a bow. Usually the box and ribbon are in the bride’s wedding colors. If you want to make the favors extra special take a moment to write a personal message on each box.

  • Chocolate boxes are also fun for wedding showers, especially when they are filled with other small gifts.

  • Small chocolate bars imprinted with the bride’s name or a cute saying and wrapped in individualized packaging are inexpensive and cute wedding shower favors if you have a lot of guests attending the shower.

  • Since there are lots of women that watch their weight very carefully a low calorie chocolate dipping sauce and some fresh fruit is a nice alternative dessert at a wedding shower for women that don’t want to indulge in cake or other high calorie desserts.

  • A handmade chocolate dipping sauce in a personalized bottle makes a nice wedding shower favor. Make sure that you have a few sugar free bottles for anyone that needs to have sugar free chocolate.

  • You can also serve a “cake” made up entirely of small boxes of individual homemade chocolates and decorated with ribbons in the bride’s colors. Arrange the boxes on a cake platter to look like a layer cake and you’ll have a beautiful alternative to a high calorie cake that is already portioned out.

  • If you want to celebrate your friendship with the friends and family who have attended the shower a nice party favor is a special mug that contains a packet of homemade hot chocolate mix and a coupon for one afternoon chat with you where you can share the hot chocolate.

  • Need a special wedding shower favor for your maid of honor? Pack a gift basket full of homemade chocolates, chocolate covered popcorn, two DVDs of movies that you always watch together and a cozy throw blanket so that the two of you can get together, watch movies, and share some homemade chocolates before you get married.
