A TASTEFUL WAY TO SAY “THANK YOU”
What makes a wedding special are the people who share the occasion with you. It’s always nice to send your guests off at the end of the evening with a thoughtful gift to let them know how much you appreciate their love and support. Even though your guests are leaving well fed, an edible party favor to savor later will create a lingering memory of your special event. Below are some simple, but unique ideas.
· Cookies wrapped in bags personalized with the couple’s initials
· Individual-size specialty olive oils
· Spices or rubs created to reflect the couple’s tastes
· Chocolates in decorative boxes
· Mini jars of jam or apple butter
· Tea or coffee to enjoy the next morning
· Small samples of local honey
· Grab-bags of gourmet popcorn
Whether you purchase specialty items or go for a DIY creation, your guests are sure to appreciate your tasteful gift
SUMMERTIME SWEETS
The traditional wedding cake will always add a classic bit of elegance to any wedding, but with the summer months upon us, a nostalgic nod to seasonal delights of our childhood make the perfect dessert option for warm-weather weddings.
Why not ask your baker for summer-time favorites like mini mixed berry pies or crisp fruit cobblers? Cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a shortcake-style dessert is sure to be a hit. Citrus infused fillings, like lemon or vanilla orange, make any cake a seasonal delight. Of course, there’s always the classic, fresh-made ice cream served with a brownie or hot fudge!
Summer is a season to be savored, and what better way to thank your guests at the end of the night, than with a summertime favorite dessert?
