There’s nothing I don’t like about this idea: place cards on cookies (I am an admitted cookieholic, though). Not only does it take more paper out of the wedding stream, it doubles as a delicious wedding favour. And, with the right bakery, they can be nut-free, gluten-free, organic, or adapted to any need you may have.
(Place card cookies from Sweet Impressions)
Edible place cards can be made out of different foods, including chocolates, candies, cookies, mints and so on. Forgo the wrapping, or use an eco-friendly wrapping for the placecard/favour.
Sweet Impressions is a Winnipeg, Canada, based bakery baking organic cookies; they also offer vegan options. They wrap their baking in biodegradable cellophane and ribbons and they will soon be operating out of a peanut-free facility.
Hmm… stomach’s rumbling… wonder if there are any cookies in the house…

What a cute idea! And even better that they are moving to a peanut-free facility–good for them!
Thanks for sharing this info!

I love this idea…coupled with the fact that they are an eco-friendly vendor makes it even sweeter!

Love them!
a real fun and contemporary take on something that brides normally overlook.
I’m a wedding photographer from Bournemouth, UK and was wondering whether you shipped these overseas?

@Big Bouquet: Try contacting Sweet Impressions - the link is above. If they won’t ship overseas, look for a custom baker in the UK who will use the ingredients you request.

This idea rocks! And is good for any type of party, not just weddings.

those are gorgeous - we ordered some custom cookies that were a bit more personal for our wedding.

@decorated cookies:
Those cookies are gorgeous - the decoration is fantastic! Definitely worth checking out the site.
I’m still partial to Sweet Impressions for their use of organic ingredients, nut-free facility and eco-friendly packaging.
