Cookie bar wedding favors are a trendy, new way to sweeten up your wedding reception. For centuries, a meaningful tradition in Italy is to prepare a cookie table for all to enjoy. Women on both sides of the bride and groom's families bake and freeze cookies for months leading up to the big day. Finally on the wedding day, the wedding cookie table is complete with thousands of Italian wedding cookies creating a delicious favor wedding gift for each guest. Today, many American brides are adopting this same tradition.
If you are looking for a unique, fun tradition to have at your wedding reception, a cookie table just might be the answer. Make sure to include some of the traditional wedding cookies such as Mexican wedding cookies, lady locks, biscotti, and thumbprints.
Stylish and unusual presentation is key to impressive cookie bar wedding favors. You not only want decorated wedding cookies to taste delicious, but you also want the cookie table to be an exquisite part of the reception décor. Strive to make everything look as good as it tastes by doing everything possible to set the stage for fun. Many choose to design their cookie bar with one color while mixing different types of cookies. Others prefer to infuse complimentary colorful treats together to offer a host of reasons to bring people together. Here you will find well designed groupings of cookies surrounded by dazzling decorative elements to capture the mood and spirit of the reception.

Artfully presented.
We love the combination of using different geometric shapes to present cookies. Round cookies on a square display keeps the presentation interesting while the ribbon and flowers add detail.

Glass lends grace and elegance to this outdoor setting. There are as many choices of stemware sizes and shapes as there are cookies to fill them.

A cookie bar created especially because the groom loves cookies makes all the extra time and attention well worth the effort. Everything included echoes the rustic theme.
