37 Edible Wedding Favors Guests Will Eat Up (Literally!)

Edible Additions

Real talk: Sometimes all your wedding guests want at the end of the night is a snack. Even if you've already fed them the cake you agonized over choosing and the late-night foods you were thoughtful enough to surprise them with, serving an extra treat or two never hurts, especially as your friends and family leave your celebration. After all, they may get hungry on the way home—or they may simply want to complement the dessert hour's sweet with something savory. Whatever the case, satiate them by doling out one final bite in the form of edible favors. As far as guest presents go, post-party treats may be the most foolproof idea out there!

Need ideas for what to offer? We're here to share some of our favorite options. The following food and drink favors all have two things in common: They're delicious and they're easy to DIY. From crafty picks you (or your big-day caterer) could easily make yourself to homemade goodies we've spotted at real weddings, these tasty giveaways will have guests craving more. For the hands-off couples who aren't looking for a project, there are also plenty of orderable options you can buy, too.

Whether you're showcasing a treat that you made yourselves like this fast food creation or a snack that speaks to your wedding vibe, an edible favor will have everyone leaving your party with a smile on their faces (and a craving in their bellies). Ahead, snacks, desserts, seasonings, and spreads that your guests will eat up—literally.
