Giving your guests a wedding favor as they leave the reception is a great way to thank them for sharing in the celebration with you. Though you can give away gift certificates or other trinkets, an edible wedding favor is usually the most appreciated by guests. After all, who doesn’t like a treat? Cookies are an easy wedding favor that can be packaged up creatively to make it more unique. Ideas for packaging cookies for wedding favors range from boxes to tulle to even baskets. If you are unsure about where to start, here are a few decorating ideas to get you going.

Boxes

Decorative boxes can be purchased in bulk or created by purchasing small gift boxes at the craft store. Fill decorative boxes with wax paper and tissue paper and load them up with assorted cookies and brownies. Try to find assortments that work for just about everyone’s tastes such as chocolate chip cookies, chocolate brownies or sugar cookies. Finally, attach a tag you have either made yourself or which contains a personal message.

Bags of Tulle

Bags are easy to store and place on a table. They are also one of the cheaper ideas for packaging cookies for wedding favors. If you make bags out of tulle, you can save even more money. Purchase a bolt of tulle at your local craft store or online. Cut individual circles that are at least 12-inches in diameter. Place decorated sugar cookies and assorted brownies into the center of the circle. Wrap the circle up from the sides to create a small bag around your treats. Tie it off with a strand of pearls or decorative ribbon. Use a small note attached to each bag to give your guests a ‘Thank You’.

To-Go Bags and To-Go Pails

There are numerous ways to use to-go bags and pails as for packaging cookies. You can purchase personalized paper to-go bags with your monogram, thank you note and even the cookie ingredients. Fill these bags with treats or hire a company to fill and personalize the bags for you. To-go pails can be used as a fun way to give away cookie treats. Fill to-go pails with chocolate covered fortune cookies, candied almonds and mini cakes, such as petit fours. Takeout boxes and bags can be filled with numerous decorated sugar cookies, but it is best to ensure you do not place them in the sun, otherwise your cookies run the risk of melting.

Baskets

Other Ideas for packaging cookies for wedding favors can include miniature baskets. Purchase baskets in bulk online or at your local craft store. Fill them with decorative tissue paper and shredded filler paper. Stuff baskets with pre-packaged decorated sugar cookies, assorted cookies and even brownies. Throw in teas, drink mixes or even coffee brews to give an additional special touch to each basket. Finish the baskets off by wrapping them in cellophane. Include a note in the basket to your guests letting them know what each basket contains, but also a personalized thank you message.
