You might not have thought about using homemade chocolates as wedding favors but homemade chocolates fit in perfectly at weddings. Homemade chocolate wedding favors are also a great way for the bride and groom to save some money because homemade wedding favors will cost a lot less than commercial ones.
At a wedding you give you favors to your friends and family to thank them for coming to celebrate the wedding with you. Since homemade chocolates are a very personal and individual gift they are the perfect “thank you” for friends and family. There are hundreds of ways that you can incorporate homemade chocolates into your wedding but here are just a few of the most popular ways that people use homemade chocolates as wedding favors:
- Get some plastic champagne glasses and fill them with individually wrapped homemade chocolates. Place a square of tulle over the top and tie the tulle down with a ribbon so that the chocolates don’t fall out. Place one at each guest’s seat.
- Chocolate boxes made in the shape of a heart with the bride and groom’s names and the date carved into them are elegant party favors that are a big hit with guests. If you want to make them even more personal carve each guest’s name into a chocolate box, just make sure that you give the right box to the right guest!
- Bottles of chocolate dipping sauce labeled with the bride and groom’s name and the dates and a kitchy name are fun wedding favors.
- Give your guests packets of special hot chocolate and two mugs in a basket with a book of love poems and instructions for them to sit and read the book together over a cup of special homemade hot chocolate.
- Make a centerpiece of homemade chocolate roses on sticks that are decorated to look like stems and have each guest take one of the chocolate roses home with them at the end of the night.
- In the kid’s area set up a station where kids can make their own chocolate to keep them occupied. Just make that they are supervised and that aprons are available to protect their nice clothes.
- Have a chocolate fountain flowing with a special “signature” chocolate flavor and have plenty of strawberries and other fresh fruit available for dipping.
- A great wedding favor is to package a few homemade chocolates with a small, handwritten recipe book full of great recipes for homemade chocolates. Give the recipes fun names like “Spice up your marriage Spicy Hot Chocolate”.
