It’s not uncommon to relate Fortune Cookies with Chinese New Year as boxes of Fortune Cookies get swept off the racks of supermarkets every festive season. But what if Fortune Cookies can be more than just CNY goodies? I actually had Garden Fortune Cookies (from Foodieland) as additional wedding favours at my own wedding for an extra touch of blessing for everyone.
Here are top 5 reasons why Fortune Cookies make great Wedding/ Birthday door gifts:
PRACTICALITY
Fortune Cookies are definitely practical because they are edible. How many times have you received door gifts that were kept aside somewhere in your cabinet after the event? There is certainly no right or wrong in preparing customised or cute gifts for your guests, and that’s absolutely fine as long as you are willing to spend. In fact, customised gifts are really thoughtful and special for birthdays or weddings. But if you’re looking for something practical, you can consider fortune cookies too!
FUN
There could be many times when the guests will be left to mingle among themselves while the hosts are busy. The Fortune Cookies serve as a great purpose for guests to crack open and reveal their lucky blessing on the strip of paper.
AFFORDABILITY
Even a small-scaled wedding doesn’t come with a small price tag. Not everyone can afford to spend so much on the wedding. For solemnization events or buffet lunch parties, giving out fortune cookies as party door gifts might reduce the strain on your pocket.
And for those who already have a wedding favour in place, these fortune cookies are pretty affordable as an add-on gift item as well!
DESIGN
How many of you choose wedding favours based on your wedding theme? I DO! I actually picked a pair of love birds salt and pepper shaker to suit the theme.
The gold packaging is also a great match to most wedding themes – rustic, oriental, luxurious, botanical, etc.
I think I made the right choice by placing some of the fortune cookies at my reception table for an extra gold accent among the rustic botanical theme.
BLESSINGS
While your guests turn up at your wedding/ birthday/ baby shower party to give their blessings, it’s always nice to return this blessing back at them. I love how each fortune cookie has a hidden positive quote/ reminder to cheer up or motivate the person who reads it.
“Opportunity is always ahead if you look and think”
Sometimes you just need a little push for motivation, isn’t it?
I have always imagined Fortune Cookies to be only seen during Chinese New Year, and this came as a surprise to me when Fortune cookies are suggested to be used for wedding favours. I think this is a brilliant idea either as an add-on gift or a door gift if you are looking for something more affordable!
