Favors: Popcorn Kernels or Pre-popped Popcorn

Kimberly, on February 3, 2018 at 2:53 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 13

Our entire "theme" for our wedding is loosely "movie/tv show". Without going in to too much detail, a running joke between us and everybody who has been following our relationship on social media has been "The Kimmi & Jackie Show", so we're taking that and running with it for our wedding. With this in mind, our favors are going to be popcorn... We'll have a lot of out of town guests and we don't want to bog them down with huge favors, plus edible seems to be the way to go these days!

I've been going back and forth though on what's better. Unpopped kernels where we can fit far more into whatever packaging we decide on, or pre-popped popcorn where there will be a lot less but it will be edible right away? What would you prefer if you were a guest?

    Pre-popped kernels for sure. I popped kernels seems like a lot of work for you to package and guests will probably end up throwing them in the trash or not taking them.

    I would prefer the already popped just because I'm lazy and wouldn't actually make the popcorn with the pre-popped kernels, they would sit in my cabinet for years and then I'd eventually throw them away. And I would probably end up eating it that night if it were already popped. Just be ready to have a lot leftover, so unless you think you can eat all the already popped popcorn before it goes stale then maybe it would be easier for you to store and keep the unpopped kernels.

    I would prefer the already popped. We recently went to a wedding where they had 3-4 different flavors of popped bagged popcorn to choose from, and it all went. And, I was glad to have it as a late-night snack!

    Pre-popped for sure. Caramel flavored is my choice. Lol.

    Do pre popped, and if you can vacuum seal it, then it'll be good for months.

    How about a popcorn bar at the reception? These seem to be very popular. This also gives your guests lots of choices.

    If you do kernels id provide instructions on how to make them. I'd say popped.

    I bought personal sized pirates booty (popcorn) for our guests to take home. Also a play on our pirate engagement. Thought it was cute and easy for them to grab and nice for our guests from out of town to have handy snacks for hotel/ travel.

    I've seen people do popcorn bars so people can flavour their own. I like this idea.
