Every detail at a wedding tells a story: some details reflect your love, some nod to the future, and some provide a heartfelt thank you to the guests who came to celebrate. Whether your wedding is modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, personalized wedding favors are a meaningful way to close out the celebration.

Are you planning a wedding and wondering, are wedding favors necessary? The answer is a resounding yes! Trends may come and go, but showing appreciation will always be in style (especially when it comes in the form of something sweet, personal, and memorable).

Are Favors Necessary at a Wedding? The Experts Weigh In

If you’re on the fence about whether wedding favors are really necessary, you’re not the only one. But according to top wedding industry sources, guests still look forward to that final thoughtful wedding touch.  The Knot reported edible personalized wedding favors are among the most popular, as they’re affordable and provide a take-home treat for guests. Brides magazine agrees, noting that edible favors rank among the most-loved guest takeaways. Who doesn’t love leaving with a sweet treat after the end of a long night of fun?

At Fresh Flours, we specialize in wedding favors for guests that are as meaningful as they are delicious.

Over the past eight years, we’ve created countless custom favors for weddings of all styles and sizes. According to the most recent WeddingPro Real Weddings Survey, the average couple now hosts five events around their wedding (think: engagement party, bachelor/bachelorette weekend, rehearsal dinner, and wedding shower favors). And yes, we’ve made favors for them all!

Personalized Wedding Favors for Guests That Make Your Day Even Sweeter

Personalized wedding favors are more than just a tradition. They are a thoughtful way to leave guests with a lasting impression of your special day.

Out of all the favor options out there (we’ve seen scented candles, mini succulents, bottle koozies—you name it), edible wedding favors are always a hit. We know budgets matter, and favors don’t always make the first cut. But if you can include them, a thoughtfully packaged treat is the kind of detail guests will still be talking about long after the celebration ends. Trust us, the feedback we hear proves it!

Why? Because they’re the perfect mix of meaningful and practical! Guests get a sweet send-off they’ll actually enjoy (or save for later), and you get to share your appreciation for their attendance at your celebration.

Unique Wedding Favor Ideas for Your Big Day

At Fresh Flours, we believe the final touch of your big day should be just as special as the rest.

We create personalized wedding favors that are deliciously unforgettable. Each treat is baked from scratch and beautifully packaged to match your wedding’s colors, theme, and style. From ribbon to tag, every detail is thoughtfully customized and coordinated.

Here are some of our most-loved edible wedding favors:

Signature Sable Cookies

Our signature sable cookies are our most popular treat by far! These rich, buttery sugar cookies are scrumptious yet straightforward with just a hint of sea salt to balance the sweetness. They’re made with minimal allergens, making them a crowd-friendly choice for your wedding.

Try them in the classic or indulgent chocolate flavor. Both versions are decadently rich, subtly salted, and very satisfying. As far as personalized wedding favors for guests go, these are an easy choice! Our sable sugar can be matched to your theme, with colors ranging from the whole rainbow to custom blends tailored to your preference.

A Mix of Homemade Favorites

Beyond our famous sables, we also offer a variety of homemade treats your guests will love. We have craveable blondies with pecans, coconut, and milk chocolate; thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies; sweet or savory biscotti; and soft, cinnamon-spiced oatmeal raisin cookies.

We also make gooey s’mores bars, fruit-filled mini pies, and buttery jammies with a burst of strawberry, blueberry, peach, or apple. Looking for something satisfyingly snackable? Try our salty and sweet s’mores crunchy munch!

Gluten-Free Cookie Wedding Favors

No gluten? No problem. We offer several gluten-free cookie wedding favors that taste just as amazing as the rest. From almond flour chocolate chip cookies to salty-sweet peanut butter pretzel cookies (with the option to add chocolate chunks), there’s something for everyone. And don’t miss our rich, crumbly dark chocolate peanut butter chip cookies that are a crowd favorite and irresistible.

Custom Packaging and Presentation

Now it’s time to add a personal touch to your wedding favors. From favor pouches to gift boxes and eco-friendly bags, we have plenty of packaging styles to choose from. Want to coordinate the ribbon with your table linens? Or design packaging that fits your event style? We’ve done it all.

Complete the look with ribbons in a range of colors and textures to bring your vision to life. We also love including wedding favor tags that match your wedding monogram, logo, or invitation. All of our graphic design is done in-house, which means your favors can be as simple or intricate as you’d like.

Make it a Moment

When it comes to presentation, couples love getting creative. Some incorporate the treats into their dessert tables, while others ask us to arrange them on tiered stands that double as part of the decor. Many couples choose a mix of treats to offer variety and make the display feel full, abundant, and festive. One bride even asked us to make her a cookie wedding cake! We’ve also set up favors on dedicated tables beneath beautiful floral arrangements, making it easy for guests to take a sweet parting gift on their way out.
