Hi there,
FI and I had originally planned on doing a candy bar as our favour, but we're on a really tight budget and there aren't a lot of places near us to get bulk candy at affordable prices.
I LOVE to bake and had an epiphany this morning... Do you all think it would be alright to bake a bunch of batches of homemade cookies and put those in the jars instead? Then people could take a few of each flavour and it'd be a lot more personal.
It'll definitely help cut down on costs and I find baking relaxing, so it'll help with nerves in the days leading up to the wedding as well :P
Our wedding is casual and informal, with the ceremony taking place outside and the reception in a big beautiful barn. The cookies seem to fit better with the "rustic casual theme."
Thoughts?
ETA: I know it seems like my mind is totally made up in my post. I just wanted to hear other opinions because I've never been to a wedding with homemade cookies as the favour. Which makes me feel like there must be a reason why it's not a popular option?
