Favorite edible shower favor

kmmssg · March 2014

DD's girls are planning her shower for next month and are trying to come up with a favor idea, edible preferred. They know they aren't required, but would like to do them. Suggestions? Gotten something memorable from a shower you attended?

Cupcakes are always good! A wedding I was in, the MOH did a cupcake display in the shape of a wedding dress. She used to work in a bakery so it looked very professional, but it was easy to do!

The same shower, the bride's mom made rasberry-infused vodka that came out to be a pretty pink color. She put them in small "nip" size bottles and pu them at everyone's place setting. People seemed to like that too, I wasn't too crazy about it since she used Dubra (I'm a vodka snob). Guests were opening them up at the party and mixing it with Sprite!!!

I am not a big fan of physical favors (cha-chi stuff).

I would prefer something sweet. Perhaps a package of homemade cookies or cake pops.

Chocolate. Or a cookie.

Chocolate truffles. I will sample them in advance to ensure that they're of appropriate quality, if you'd like

For my sisters shower we got bridal cookie cutters in the shapes of dresses and cakes and made sugar cookies then iced them in her wedding colors. Delicious!

My favorite is at baby showers when you frosting covered animal crackers mmmmmm

But since that doesn't apply here, I like the standard goodie bag of skittles, gummie bears, starburst that I can munch on while the shower is happening

I love a good frosted sugar cookie! Also, chocolate cover pretzel rods are pretty easy.

Chocolate covered pretzels are delicious and always welcomed.

My sister in law's wedding was beachy. At her shower, we had nutter butter cookies (the ones shaped like a peanut) with simple frosting lines on top to look like a flip flop. Then at their wedding, the favors were different fish shaped treats: goldfish, swedish fish, tart candy fish; and also salt water taffy. I liked the variety of treats so that people who wanted sweet could get sweet/ salty could get salty.

I did chocolate lollipops for my sister's shower. I went to a baby shower a few weeks ago where the favors were cookies in the shape of onesies with a frosting on it, they were so good!

All time favorite was cookie mix in a jar.

Second favorite was a frosted sugar cookie.

You are super awesome to offer to take one for the team! I just couldn't let you do that though - it is ok, I will handle the sampling part.

I adore the cookie idea but she is having a cookie buffet at the wedding for her favor so the girls didn't want to do that for the shower too. Truffles......I love truffles.......

I wanted to do hedgehog chocolates for our AHR, but had my cousin make cake pops in Hawaii forms. I was planning to put a little note from our hedgie about thanks for helping us celebrate or similar, but my cousin makes amazing cake pops as a side business, so we had flowers, sharks and such instead

They had a candy bar at my friends shower and it was awesome. For a girl, so they had a variety of pink and white colored candies and the guests each got a little bag to take what they wanted. They also had cake pops. They said it was simple to put together too.

Truffles! Or better yet truffle cake pops... So yummy!

Biscotti! I make biscotti all the time and keep it in a large glass jar, so it's a pretty display.

Bonus- You can make it ahead of time because it keeps well. (For this I recommend the Italian Style which is much harder and less cookie like than the America style.. much better for dipping!)

Biscotti secret- when you take it out of the oven the first time (in loaf form), let it sit for 5 minutes, and then spritz the top with water, let it sit another 5 minutes.. this will help it not crumble when you slice it before baking it the second time!
