Favor Advice Updated

FH and I LOVE to cook. We go to cooking classes. So we are making family cookbooks. We are having family and friends sumbit recipies through our save the dates. They are nice bound book you can see them here www.morriscookbooks.com. We plan to do one book per couple

My question is since we are having kids at the wedding what age should get the cookbook. 18 and up.... high school and up?

For the kids (about a dozen ish) we plan on getting cupcakes or cookies)

TIA

Edit: Do you think I have to give the kids cupcakes as a favor or anything as a favor if I am having an ice cream bar and vienesse table?

Re: Favor Advice

Personally, I would only give the cookbooks to the adult married couples and the rest of the younger guests (18 and younger) would get a cookie or cupcake favor. What is an 18 year old going to do with a cookbook?...but its your wedding and you know your guests well so you can judge the best on this.

It would depend on your guests. Personally I would wanted the cupcake over the cook book until college was over. But if you have a family where those in college are married, in an apt (not at college), etc then I would say 18+

Re: Favor Advice

i totally agree... i would only give the cookbooks to the grown-ups 18-19 yr olds really have no use for it. as long as the kis favors arent too kidish then i would stick with that

Re: Favor Advice

I was the kind of kid who started cooking at the age of 12 and I still love it.
That being said, I know that I was kind of a rare case and most kids would prefer a cupcake kind of favor.
If you have any kids attending who would actually be interested in it, then surely their parents would be there with them, right? They could always use their parents' copy AND have the cupcake.
