My wedding favors

Lately, my facebook seems quiet. So I distracted my interest on my plan for my spring wedding. Al though it was unclear when or where, I still dream or plan like other normal female.

My idea of wedding favors is to give away some kind of foodstuff rather than an object gift. Well, you can say I’m a penny-pinching or “taik idung masin”, but to me, you are about to spend a lot of money for your big day, just trying to spend it wisely. Unless you are a billionaire heiress!

The actual reason why I chose foodstuff is because, if let say you have left over, you can give it away to your neighbors, to your little cousins or maybe a “sedekah” to surau, and at the same time you feel good about it. There won’t be a case where by you stack the entire wasted gift under your bed, and recycle it when your daughter gets married!

At first I was thinking colorful cupcake or mini cupcake but my mother wasn’t that agree. She said something about my hometown, Sarawakian famous sweet delegacy, Kek Lapis. (Layer cake) It was a good idea, because it represents me as a Sarawakian and I am marrying a guy from the west coast. Since the core pattern of the cake can be custom made, my idea is to ask them to make a heart shape and write a Terima Kasih, as in English, Thank You in the middle of it. And this is surely a bit costly lah! And I’m not sure if they can actually craft the appreciation speech in the middle of the cake.

That’s when I decided to find other option. So I found this! It is a various shape of butter cookie with cute colorful decorative sugarpaste on top. The cookie can be butter cookie, or oatmeal, or chocolate cookie, and of course the appreciation speech on it. It will be packed 2 pieces in one package.

The packaging for this kind of favors doesnt really need fancy one. You can just wrap it with transparent cookie wrapper and tie it with a colourful ribbon!
