Edible Wedding Favors and Hashtags

With June and July being peak season for weddings, have you ever considered gourmet caramel apples for your wedding favors?

What is a wedding favor? According to the world wide webs go to website Wikipedia, “Wedding favors are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom during a wedding ceremony or a wedding reception¹.”  The European aristocrats would provide bonbonniere’s which are made of porcelain or crystal but with our green, health conscious society today, gourmet caramel apples could serve the same purpose and display an edible gesture of gourmet appreciation.

After the wedding many times, wedding favors are stashed on a shelf, thrown in a closet, or pushed into a cabinet drawer; never to be seen again.  But by giving an edible wedding favor, your guests are sure to enjoy and remember your special day. I know what you’re thinking; they’re too expensive. 

Well, not if you consider that the average apple weighs about 1/3 to half of a pound which is about 227 grams².  Our jumbo sized gourmet granny smith apples are well above the average weight!  That means that just one apple could very well be a wedding favor for a family of four; ensuring that every member enjoyed a slice or two.  

Plus, why not make it social media apple trend? Simply create your new family’s last name as a #hashtag and invite each guest to use it and tell what they thought about your special day and their wedding favor.

Here’s how:

1. First order your gourmet caramel and gourmet candy apples at RichlandGourmetApples.com.
2. Once they arrive, go to MarthaStewart.com³.  They have a huge selection of label clip-art and templates to choose from.
3. Once you’ve made your selection, you can say something like;

Thank you for attending!  Do us a favor.  Use #mynewfamilylastname and tell us how you enjoyed the wedding and your gourmet apple wedding favor!
