Maple Candy Party Favors for Weddings, Showers & Events
Wedding favors have a habit of ending up left on the table. Maple candy doesn't. It's small, it's sweet, it's made from one ingredient, and it tastes like a place—which is exactly what you want from a thank-you to your guests.
We make our maple candy from our own syrup, from trees we tap in Onaway, Michigan. Here's how to plan maple favors for a wedding, shower, or party without overthinking it.
Why Maple Candy Makes a Great Favor
- Guests actually eat it.
- Plain candy is pure maple syrup—one ingredient (chocolate-covered adds chocolate).
- It fits fall and winter weddings, rustic and barn venues, Michigan destination weddings, and "up north" themes.
- Small and light, easy to set at each place.

How Many Maple Candies Per Guest?
- 1–2 pieces at each place setting, or 3–4 in a small bag or box.
- Order for your guest count plus about 5–10% extra for vendors and the head table.

What Maple Candy Favors Cost
Plain, Chocolate-Covered, and Combo packs are available in 50- and 100-piece sizes, among others. See current pricing on the product page.
Plain, Chocolate-Covered, or Combo?
- Plain: purest maple flavor; holds up better in warm rooms.
- Chocolate-covered: a crowd-pleaser; keep it cool at summer events. See the product page for chocolate ingredients if any guest has allergies.
- Combo: a little of both for mixed crowds.

DIY Packaging Ideas
- Small kraft or clear bags tied with twine, with a tag for your names and date.
- Mini boxes, two pieces each.
- A maple-leaf place card with a candy on top.
These are packaging ideas you handle yourselves—we sell the candy and syrup; we don't currently offer custom labels, ribbons, or venue shipping as a package service.
When to Order and How to Keep It Fresh
- Order so the candy arrives about a week or two before the event—maple candy is best enjoyed fresh.
- Store sealed, cool, and dry; avoid refrigerators and humid rooms until set-out time.
