Make Fun Party Favors With Wedding Popcorn

By Lana Bray


It's never easy to plan a wedding, and the reception can be just as challenging. Coming up with party favor ideas to fit into budgets is also difficult. Many couples choose to have a full meal and party favors, while others focus only on favors, such as a wedding popcorn bar.

While many are used to the buttery version, there are many sweet treat recipes. There are also many presentation ideas to make this an extremely fun and classy way to present your guests with customized stylish treats. This party favor will welcome your guests in special way.

Popcorn can be purchased through companies specializing in wedding favors, or brides can order their own and put their own display together. Even at that, gourmet popcorn can be expensive. Making gourmet popcorn, and putting together your own popcorn bar, however, is not only cost effective, but it allows brides to select their favorite recipes, and personalize boxes, and displays.

Planning is essential when couples decide to make it themselves. Getting others in on the process will save time and effort, and will allow for new ideas and input. Think about having servers. This will add a touch of class.

Flavors and styles of treats should be determined by the type of dress, and overall theme of the party. There are a variety of styles of popcorn bars, and stylizing them to the party, the dress, colors and theme is the best choice. A few treat choices might include Carmel balls, chocolate, nutty and candy pretzel mixes. Others are sour cream, cheesy, spicy.

If instead it has a rock star theme, Hawaiian or Asian theme, thinking about a mix of other gourmet flavors, such as spicy, fruity, or tailored after other cultures might be a good idea. Also considering the display or packaging is a must, as well as how it will presented to your guests is a must. The first thing to consider is if servers will bring the treats in elegant displays to each table, or if a buffet style is more appropriate.

Where to get supplies and cost is also an important part of the decision making. One idea would be to create gifts to place at each guest's seat. These might include purchasing bags in wedding colors, with decorative etching, with thank you or other writing on outside of bag. Mix would be placed in thin lacy bags and topped by a ribbon.

Other ideas are champagne glasses placed on silver serving trays at the bar in festive wedding snack cups. The champagne glass will later be used to drink champagne. If looking for elegance use Apothecary jars. This also works for candy bars.

Personalizing the display is also possible, with festive bags that display words such as, "welcome to our special day." Other slogans are, "thank you for being part of our wedding day." This would be accompanied by a picture of the couple, and their names on the wedding popcorn bag. No matter how brides choose to display, creating a bar such as this allows for personal style and character.
