30 Edible Wedding Favors Your Foodie Guests Will Devour

If there's one universal truth to wedding planning that even your future mother-in-law can't argue with, it's that guests love edible wedding favors. And why wouldn't they? They're delicious and there's no way a guest already has one sitting in a drawer at home (like a deck of cards or a bottle opener). Plus, many edible party favors can be customized to your event, making them a cute and practical guest gift idea. Whether you include specialty snacks in your welcome bags, finish the night with an epic dessert bar or send guests home with a local treat, our list of edible wedding favor ideas guarantees there won't be a crumb left at the end of the night.

Before we get hangry, there are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing food as a party favor. For starters, it's important to keep any dietary restrictions and allergies in mind. If you have guests who are dairy- or gluten-intolerant or nut-free, look for snacks and desserts to accommodate their needs. You can also place a small card at the favor table letting guests know the ingredients in your goodies so they can make a personal judgment call. Without this thoughtfulness, the night could end early for some of your loved ones. You should also keep in mind supply and demand. Edible wedding favors are popular for a reason, so it's always a good idea to order more than you think you'll need. A good rule of thumb is that, for every 100 guests, you should have at least 10 extra favors—there's just no stopping the sticky fingers once hunger strikes. Last but not least, make sure you properly store your edible wedding favors so they stay fresh ahead of the big day. If necessary, you can even ask your caterer or venue if they'll have room in a freezer for your favors that need to stay cool or whether they can give you chafing dishes to keep them warm.

People will definitely be trying to take more than one roll.

You definitely can't buy these marshmallows at your local grocery store. S'mores are a must-have party favor if your wedding venue has fire pits during the reception—or just a general rustic camp vibe. These jumbo marshmallows are printed (using edible ink, of course) with your names and the phrase "love is sweet" inside mason jars. You can pick up graham crackers and chocolate at the store yourself, or opt for the Etsy seller to make s'more kits for you at an additional charge.

20. Salt Water Taffy Candy Wedding Favors

If you're hosting a seaside wedding, you can't go wrong with gifting your guests saltwater taffy to lean into the coastal theme. Grab a five-pound bucket of assorted taffy—or two, if your guests are particularly sugar-obsessed— to sprinkle on reception tables, near the wedding cake or just pop into welcome bags.

21. Old Bay Seasoning Wedding Favors

Yes, you can buy Old Bay in bulk. And yes, it's a great idea—especially if you're planning a lobster bake for your wedding. Send guests home with arguably the best seafood seasoning paired with a punny tag that says: "Two less fish in the sea."

22. Floral Lollipop Wedding Favors

Lollipops aren't just for kids—especially when they have unique flavors like Lavender Lemongrass and Strawberry Basil. The best part of these edible wedding favors, though? They double as herb seeds. Once all the sugary goodness is gone, guests can actually plant the stick to grow sage, mint, lavender and more.

23. Cotton Candy Wedding Favors

Here's an edible wedding favor idea that carries the same nostalgia as lollipops: cotton candy. This Etsy shop has dozens of sugary flavors like Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, Lemonade and Birthday Cake—which would taste so good with your wedding cake. Prepare for all your guests to have a sugar rush! (You may want to pay your DJ for an extra hour.)

24. Fresh Malasada Wedding Favors

Wedding favors, especially edible favors, don't have to be handed out at the end of the night. While late-night donuts sound amazing, consider passing them out to guests as they mingle before the morning ceremony for a sweet way to kick off the celebrations. You can shop locally, or try Hawaii's renowned bakery Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery for their mouthwatering malasadas. They ship for free nationwide!

25. Everything Bagel Seasoning Wedding Favors

Here's a seriously clever edible wedding favor: everything bagel seasoning. From your favorite grocery store, Trader Joe's. Don't clear out your local store's supply, though. You can buy the exact seasoning from Amazon. You'll just need a little prep work to execute—we recommend adding a tag or custom label that says: "Your presence means everything to us!"

26. Hot Chocolate Wedding Favors

If you're planning a winter wedding, a classic cold-weather drink makes a great edible wedding favor idea. We're particularly fond of rich, warm hot chocolate. Kids and adults alike will love pouring these cute test tubes filled with cocoa powder and sprinkles into their mugs. They even come in a white chocolate flavor.

27. Ice Cream Wedding Favors

Just like you and your spouse, pretzels and chocolate are even better together. These gourmet wedding favors from Mrs. Fields are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Each pretzel knot is dipped in Belgian milk chocolate and then hand-decorated with a white- or dark-chocolate drizzle, sprinkles and even candy. Honestly, our mouths won't stop watering. Pick up personalized favor bags to hand them out individually.

This edible party favor idea is more food-adjacent. The cotton candy balls dissolve in a drink—ideally champagne—revealing safe-to-eat glitter and infusing the bevy with sweetness. Put one at each place setting for a magical kick-off to speeches and toasts.
