Favor Opinion-down to 2 options

Our wedding isn't for about 4 more months, but one of my favor options is DIY so I wanted to decide soon.  Which of these would you prefer for a wedding favor?  (I know a favor is not required but my FI and I would like to have them).

Option #1: I have a ton of glass baby food jars I saved from my daughter.  I would put a tealight in each one, and decorate with a ribbon around the neck, tied in a bow.  And on the ribbon would hang a snowflake cut out from my Cricut.  (Winter wedding).  There would be no personalization on the candle, just the decorations.  If it looked too plain, I would cover the jar with some lace fabric.

Option #2: Have a cookie table with little bags/containers for guests to take home cookies as their favor.  The wedding is not for 4 more months and I have already had so many offers to make cookies that I know we will have too many.  There are 6 aunts and about 14 cousins on my FI's side that are avid bakers; every wedding I went to with my FI always had sooo many cookies left over because of this.  Also, my grandmas, aunts, and cousins have also offered.  If we do this, I would make some cookies to use as well.

Which would you prefer?  Thanks!!

  • Definitely the cookies!  In all honesty, no one is going to be thrilled with a tea light in a baby food jar.  Cookies?  Definitely a thrill factor there.
  • Cookies, for exactly the reason kmmssg said.

  • The baby food jars are great ideas for decorations, but for favors, I'd vastly prefer coooooookies!!!
  • Thanks everyone!!! Sounds good!  I will do the cookies; maybe I will incorporate the baby candles as part of the centerpiece.

  • Def agree on the cookie idea! Especially if people aren't cake people, they might sneak them during the wedding, so it's a nice alternative. If anyone is traveling from afar, they'll have a yummy homemade snack for the ride home!

    Even though you worked really hard on the babyfood/candle pieces, it would go straight to the trash can at home. It's just clutter and not useful to anyone.
    (Though I think it's a very cute idea and involves your daughter a bit. It would still be clutter in my home.)
