Wedding Favor Cookies and Cookie Party Favors

Somebody has to pick the favors. It is usually the same person doing nine other jobs for the event, and it usually happens late, after the venue and the food and the fourteen group texts.

Here is the case for making it easy: an individually wrapped cookie with the couple's names on it, or the guest of honor's name, or the team name and the season. Handed to people on the way out, or waiting at each place setting.

Why cookies work as party favors

A favor has one job: leave with the guest and not end up in a drawer. Candles get regifted. Jars of things get forgotten in a cabinet. A cookie gets eaten in the car on the ride home, and the label gets noticed first.

Ours are individually wrapped, so each favor carries its own custom label and holds up to being set out on a table, dropped in a gift bag or handed to somebody at the door.

What goes on the label

For a wedding, the couple's names and the date. For a baby shower or graduation, a name and the date. For a team banquet, the team name and the season. That is genuinely all it takes, and no artwork is required. Tell us the words and we set them into the label.

If you do have artwork, a monogram or a crest or a logo, send it over and we will tell you what works. The full rundown lives on our custom labels page.

Weddings, showers, graduations and team events

These are the regulars. Wedding favor cookies at each place setting or by the exit. Baby shower favors that match the theme without another trinket to assemble. Graduation parties where every cookie carries the graduate's name and the year. End-of-season banquets where the whole roster gets one.

For events, the label usually goes on every cookie rather than on a box, since each favor gets handed to a different person. That is the difference from our corporate logo cookies, where most orders put the label on the gift box itself.

How many favors and when to order

Count your guest list, then add a handful for the people who ask for seconds. Every order is quoted individually, so tell us the occasion, roughly how many you need and the date, and we will come back with a price and what fits your timeline.

Custom labels take about two weeks once we have your details, so three to four weeks ahead is comfortable. If the event is in November or December, reach out earlier than feels necessary, because the calendar fills.

Set out on a tray instead

If the cookies are being set out rather than handed to each guest, a tray can make more sense than individual favors. Trays are not listed in our shop, so email us and tell us about the occasion.

How to order cookie favors

Use the form on the custom labels page and tell us four things: the occasion, roughly how many you need, when you need them, and the words for the label. We ship nationwide from the Philadelphia area, straight to you, the venue or the planner.
