Top Ellis Bros. Pecans Products for Wedding Season
Customizable Pecan Favors
Individually packaged pecans are one of the most versatile favor options you can offer your guests. Ellis Bros. Pecans has a wide range of flavors to choose from, including roasted & salted pecans, chocolate-covered pecans, cinnamon pecans, and our signature praline pecans. These can be ordered in bulk, and then you can present them in clear favor bags, mason jars, or decorative tins. For a personal touch, add a custom tag that reads “We’re Nuts About Each Other” or “Thanks for Going Nuts With Us!”
Sweet Southern Pecan Rub Seasoning
For couples who are foodies or just love grilling out, Ellis Bros. Pecans sweet southern pecan rub is a flavorful and unexpected option for a wedding favor. This blend of sweet and savory is ideal for seasoning meats, vegetables, or even popcorn. Package it in mini jars or kraft pouches, and pair it with a note like, “Spice Up Your Life—Love, The [Your Last Name]s.” It’s a favor that’s sure to get used—and appreciated.
Treasure Sauce
Ellis Bros. Pecans treasure sauce is a hidden gem that works beautifully in welcome bags or bridal party gift boxes. This tangy, sweet sauce can be used for marinating, dipping, or drizzling on anything from grilled chicken to sandwiches. A small bottle of treasure sauce paired with a recipe card for “Grilled Peach Chicken” or “Southern BBQ Wings” makes for a practical and flavorful gift your guests will be talking about long after the reception.
Bridal Party Gift Ideas
When putting together gifts for your bridesmaids or groomsmen, consider creating Southern-themed gift boxes filled with gourmet items from Ellis Bros. Pecans. Our peach preserves and jalapeño peach preserves are perfect for a sweet-and-spicy combination that pairs beautifully with toast or a cheese board. For a bold flavor with a kick, candied jalapeños make a great addition, especially for groomsmen or anyone who appreciates a spicy treat. If you’re aiming for something elegant and naturally sweet, peachy peach halves offer a luxurious bite of summer that feels like a special indulgence. Arrange these in a rustic wooden box, add a handwritten note, and you’ve got a heartfelt gift that says: “We’re nuts about having you by our side.”
Don’t Forget the Dessert Table
In addition to individual favors, Ellis Bros. Pecans products are a perfect addition to your wedding dessert table. One creative idea is to set up a “We’re Nuts” Bar, where guests can create their own pecan mix from a selection of gourmet flavors. You could include honey crunch pecans, white chocolate-covered pecans, and classic pecan halves—ideal for topping cupcakes or ice cream. For more adventurous guests, spicy jalapeño pecans add a bold kick. It’s an interactive, memorable, and mouthwatering feature that will have everyone going back for seconds.
