Popcorn

Pair this up with a chocolate bar and you have the perfect food station for a cold wedding.

Brownies
Not all your guests will be so free to enjoy unlimited sweets. In fact, most of them probably have dietary restrictions; with some even having their life depend on it. For the sake of their health, you may want to go for favors that can please both them and the free-spirited. Such a flexible treat is the brownie. These yummy delicacies remain delicious no matter what form they are in; whether they are sweetened, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, or kosher. Just find a caterer or baker that can slay the brownie game no matter what dietary restrictions there may be.
Candy
Giving out an assortment of candy at your wedding is a great way to give a favor that is both stylish and easy to share. Thus, this is a great option when you know a lot of couples will be attending. After a long day at your celebration, all the couples will be able to share the candy with each other and keep their energy up as they make their way home. Just be sure you know exactly who is bringing a plus one. You don’t want two single guests awkwardly finding that they are meant to share one set of candies. For these guests, give them a smaller serving they can enjoy for themselves.
