I am all for edible favors as gifts. Chances are high that your guests will actually eat or make the ingeditents given to them from your event. During our Inspiration Stations we also encourage you to include elements for your personal lives or just doing something you enjoy (forget about it, nothing you pick everyone will like so just carry on), you never know what you will be introducing someone too.
Loving the ideas of doing jar favors with quick recipes that can be found on food network.

I want the super chunky Christmas cookies to go along with the spiced hot cocoa! Mmmmm….
Wow! They are all nice. Hope I can make like this as well in my wedding. This is something extraordinary and far different from other wedding favors.
