Custom Cookie Favors
Cookie favors are so popular because the couple can add special touches that make them more personal. They have a good shelf life if not consumed right away and are easy to take away from the wedding reception. The most popular cookie is the state of Florida design with a heart over the Tampa Bay area. Couples can also use stickers with their names or monograms to customize thier favor even more. Other states can also be made to include where the couple met or where their family is from. -Melissa Maggiore | Alessi Bakeries
