Non-edible wedding favors have come a long way. In fact, so have edible wedding favors. It used to be that wedding favors were little piles of sugared almonds presented in a pretty fashion or maybe a matchbook printed with the couple's names and wedding date. These were normally part of the place setting for the formal meal. These days, however, wedding favors are inventive, creative and interesting, both in content and presentation. If you are looking for ideas for non-edible wedding favors, here you go: ## 1.
