Bubblegum wedding favors will capture the attention of young and old alike. All that is required is a little ingenuity, not extravagance. These visually attractive treats will transport your guests back into their childhood and are especially appealing to your little guests. There are lots of wedding favors to choose from, but few that will catch their eye more than bubblegum favors.
Invented in 1928, bubblegum has surely come a long way making its way into the wedding scene. The wedding success is largely due to the color variety of gumballs and the ability to fit into any reception atmosphere.
As retro favors, the gumball machine certainly fits with a turn back into the past. The slot machines are a perfect addition for the Las Vegas or casino-themed celebration. If you are planning a more up-scale event, the shimmering white gumballs add sophistication to candy buffets or favor bags. The variety of gumballs offer many options for adding pops of color in fun and stylish ways. Consider these old favorite confections as fun, tasty thank yous. That's our story and we're sticking to it.
