1) Monogrammed Chocolate
One of the ways you can personalize your wedding is to add your monograms. However, what about the little chocolate you are serving with your ice cream or coffee? All you need is a clay print or mold and melted chocolate, and you are ready to mass produce your chocolate containing your initials.

2) Strawberry and Cream Shortcake Stacks
You can go with a romantic or tropical wedding theme with your wedding desserts and create a stunning display of red and white by baking shortcakes and layering them with strawberry and cream. If you would like to make the little creations stay together, you could use a kebab stick to push through the tower. Some of your guests may even feed each other from the stick if they feel like.
3) Colorful Parfaits with Glow In the Dark Glitter
Another great wedding desserts idea is creating colorful parfaits in the shades of your table decoration. If you are having the reception at night organized by Fairytale Brides, you might even add glow-in-the-dark glitter and turn off the lights, so your guests can admire the creation and you can create some sparkles in their eyes. You might also try to add popping candy or mini fireworks to the dessert, but always check with the venue’s fire and safety procedures.
4) Dessert Spoons
This DIY wedding dessert is fun for little kids and big ones, too. You can get some jelly and colorful spoons and serve your dessert on a glass plate showing off the different sweets included in the dessert spoon. The sweets are easy to serve and consume, and fun for everyone. You might even talk to your friends about ways to best personalize the dessert spoons and how to add guests’ names to the creation.
5) Personalized Jelly Shots

No wedding is perfect without the bottles of bubbly. After all, you and your guests are celebrating a beautiful event. What if you found a creative way of serving champagne, instead of the glass? You can give your guests an option to have it in a jelly form.
This pink champagne jelly shot can be decorated with glitter and edible petals, or you can use food coloring to coordinate with your wedding colors. Add a fruit or two at the bottom of the glass, and turn up the fun.
There are plenty of creative ways of personalizing your wedding desserts. Use the above ideas to get your mind working. You will want to impress and entertain your wedding guests, but this doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune on catering companies.

Is it true that it can actually save money for marriage?
Pricing will always vary from one baker/chef to the next, but non-wedding cake types of desserts definitely can be a money saver.
