Cookies as wedding favours: the favour guests actually eat

Skip the keyrings and mini candles. A thick New York cookie is a wedding favour your guests will love. Here's how to plan it, how many to order and which flavours to pick.

Be honest: what did you do with the last wedding favour you got? Exactly. Cookies don't end up in a drawer. They get eaten, photographed and talked about.

Why New York cookies work as wedding favours

  • Everyone likes them. From your nephew to your grandmother.
  • They look generous. One thick NYC cookie feels like a real gift, not a token.
  • They travel well. Guests can take them home and warm them up the next morning (the best hangover breakfast).

Three ways to use them

  1. As a favour: one cookie per guest, in a bag or small box at each seat.
  2. On the sweet table: a stack of cookies next to (or instead of) the cake.
  3. As a late-night snack: around 11pm, when the dance floor needs fuel.

How many do you need?

A simple rule: guests × 1.2. One per guest as a favour, plus extra for the table. For 80 guests that's about 96 cookies.

Which flavours?

  • Red Velvet: our most photogenic cookie. Deep red with white chocolate drizzle.
  • Chocolate Chip: the safe choice everyone loves.
  • Biscoff: perfect with the coffee after dinner.

Mix two or three flavours so there's something for everyone.

How to order

For 50 cookies or more, request a quote: we deliver within 7 days and send an invoice. For smaller numbers (a tasting session for the two of you, for example) just build a box.
