Summer is wedding season here in Iowa. To help with your wedding planning, here is a list of sweet treats to use as wedding favors. These sugary desserts are sure to make all of your guests happy as they are leaving your reception.

1. Macarons — These brightly colored cookies are perfect for a wedding favor. You can match the sweet treat to your wedding color, and it can be individually packaged for your guests to take home.

2. Personalized M&M’s — Personalized M&M’s are another treat that can match your wedding colors. The candy is the perfect opportunity to write a message to the guests.

3. Mason jar treats — Everyone loves getting a snack stuffed in a Mason jar. Jars filled with hot chocolate mix are the perfect favors for a winter wonderland wedding.

4. Hershey’s Kisses — Put some of these treats in a small bag with a note saying, “Hugs and kisses from the Mr. and Mrs.” This sweet play on words will surely make your guests smile.

5. S’more kits — A make-your-own-s’more kit is a perfect addition to any outdoor wedding. A small package with graham crackers, chocolate and a few marshmallows is a fun favor for guests.

6. Pretzel sticks — Everyone loves salty and sweet! Dip pretzel sticks in dark and white chocolate, the perfect colors to make them look like a tuxedo and a wedding dress. Pretzels are easy to package and enjoy.

7. Jam — Give your guests a homemade treat. Just put some delicious jam in a small Mason jar with a note saying, “Spread the love.” This wedding favor would go perfectly with a country-themed wedding.
