Carrie Underwood recently featured a lavish cupcake tower during her celebrity packed nuptials, but not every bride is willing to give up the longstanding tradition of cutting the cake (or a chance to smash a piece in the groom’s face, lol). If that’s you, don’t worry, because the newest trend to grace the modern wedding reception is cupcake favors! They’re fun, delicious and the perfect way to thank your guests in style.
Even better, the cupcake favor boxes can be customized to match your wedding décor along with personalized favor labels with the bride and groom’s names for a custom touch. The options are endless for the cupcakes themselves as well. How about pina colada cupcakes for a beach wedding, a pumpkin cupcake for fall nuptials or even a spiced eggnog creation for a winter wedding? Most cupcake bakeries these days can even make gluten-free cupcakes or vegan cupcakes depending on the crowd you are serving.
You could even do it yourself and make your favorite flavor of cupcake at home and bake them in your choice of colored baking cups. If you have a large wedding and need a helping hand, invite your bridesmaids over for a cupcake decorating party. It’s a fun way to incorporate your bridesmaids in prepping for the big day while spending time with your favorite girls!
The favor boxes themselves can be a little difficult to find because most online retailers only carry the typical 2x2x2 favor box size. You will need at least a 3x3x3 box or larger in order to fit a standard cupcake. Besides the cupcake favor boxes themselves, you can also find wedding favor labels that can be customized in a wide variety of colors and styles. From elegant to fun and colorful, one theme remains the same which is cupcake wedding favors are a delicious way to say “thank you”!
