How about chocolate truffles, prettily wrapped? http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/...

Reply:my aunt had a bridal party a couple of weeks ago and she and I made a big cake and cut it into smaller pieces and than took frosting and frosted them and put on there with colored frosting her first letter and last letter of her name. it was a hit! everyone called my aunt and myself and sayed it was so cute and we also put a little card that said thank you for coming. hope this helps!!!
Reply:Truffles are always delicious, though they are a bit tricky. Here is a good recipe:

If you want a chocolate treat that are easier than truffles, Orangette has a fabulous recipe for chocolate "blocks":

You could also infuse oils with herbs or chiles, which can then be put in bottles such that they are pretty and festive, but are also very useful! If you have a special recipe for tomato sauce or something, you could try canning it and giving it out.





If you want to do something fairly straight forward, you can always work up a mix for differnet sorts of cakes and cookies and things. This site has a lot of great ideas as far as that goes:

Reply:I realize that it is probably too late for this idea....





I went to a wedding where the favours were fresh herbs in tiny terracotta pots. In coordinated ribbon tied around the pot was a little scroll with a recipe for the herb. My herb was basil and the recipe was for a lemon-basil pasta dish.
Reply:Make a house out of popsickle sticks. Put some cotton balls on the chimney so it will look like smoke coming out.
Reply:Make cookie bouquets and everyone will love them. Easy to make and you can get the sticks at any craft store.
Reply:I made handmade scented soaps. If you go to any crafty type shop, all you need is a mold of about 10 of the same design (it kinda looks like an ice cube tray), then the soap flakes, and an essential oil of the scent you wish to use.





Once the soaps were made (1 per person), then I wrapped it in toule (netting stuff) and tied it with one of those rose twisty things (sorry can't think of the name of what it's called).





As for games, 65 ppl is alot to entertain..... maybe karaoke?





Good luck! :)
Reply:In the bridal section of walmart (in the craft department) or a craft store buy a simple heart shaped lollipop mold, some white candy melting chocolate, some lollipop sticks and the bags. These all together will cost between 8 and 10 dollars and make white chocolate heart lollipops. Tie the bags closed with ribbons the colors of the wedding and put them in a basket for your guests. Two bags of chocolate will probably get you what you need. Good Luck and have fun!
